The founding
story of EDT
EDT was founded in December 1989 with 5 core values: quality, loyalty, and commitment to both customers and employees, and above all, innovation.
Over the past 30 years, EDT has maintained a startup mindset, specialising in EDI and electronic invoice dematerialisation.
EDT has built strong trust-based relationships with over 500 clients, including many major corporations, and has surrounded itself with exceptional partners such as IBM and Opentext.
EDT’s solutions and business model have evolved over time to meet the needs of customers seeking in-house or SaaS solutions. A roadmap for highly innovative new products is being implemented, and EDT’s quality and reputation are now recognised within its extensive ecosystem.
