The Role of EDI in Document Management
Turkmenistan Hosts Seminar on Electronic Commercial Document Management
On January 23rd, the “Ish Nokady” conference hall of the “Arkach” shopping and entertainment center in Turkmenistan was buzzing with activity as approximately 70 participants gathered for a seminar on “Electronic Commercial Document Management (EDI): Effects for Business and Regulators of Turkmenistan.” The event, which saw a mix of business representatives and journalists in attendance, was free of charge.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) technology was at the forefront of discussions during the seminar. EDI allows companies to exchange documents and information in a digital format, streamlining processes like ordering, delivery, and accounting. As businesses in Turkmenistan increasingly embrace digitalization, the adoption of EDI systems has become crucial for efficient operations.
The seminar featured presentations by Belarusian experts who shared insights from their own experiences implementing EDI in practice. Organized by the 1C Certified Training Center “Belli Tilsimat,” the company “Akylly Tilsimat,” and the Ashgabat branch of LLC “SOFTCLUB,” the event aimed to highlight the benefits of electronic document management.
Farrukh Tagiev, the General Director of “Belli Tilsimat,” emphasized the significance of electronic document management in enhancing service quality in the digital age. Discussions during the seminar focused on the application of international standards for goods and trade processes, transparency, traceability of goods, labeling, and the integration of accounting systems. The impact of these aspects on electronic data exchange and supply chain processes was a key point of discussion.
The seminar also addressed the integration of EDI into the work of Turkmenistan’s regulators. The implementation of such technologies is expected to enhance the efficiency of government agencies, streamline certification processes, and simplify interactions with businesses.
Furthermore, the event served as a platform for establishing partnerships between Turkmen and Belarusian colleagues to exchange knowledge and collaborate on digital infrastructure development in Turkmenistan. The potential of using EDI to enhance commercial processes in both the private and public sectors was a central theme of the seminar.
Overall, the seminar on electronic commercial document management marked a significant step towards leveraging advanced technologies for business growth and regulatory efficiency in Turkmenistan.
