Exchanging information rapidly and accurately between companies and countries is essential in today's competitive world. UN/EDIFACT(United Nations Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce and Transport) provides the essential rules for data exchange, particularly when data need to be processed by more than one organization or exchanged at minimum cost. UN/EDIFACT has been found to be very useful by such users as : Banks who are members of the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications; national administrations in a variety of areas including transport, health care and taxation; the US Government, where it is the "preferred" EDI solution; customs administrations; international electronic industries; the International Air Transport Association and national statistical administrations. 2, record 2, English, - Electronic%20Data%20Interchange%20for%20Administration%2C%20Commerce%20and%20Transport
