But although there is an undoubtedly large savings potential, the use of EDI is by far not as widespread as one could expect. The main reason is that especially small and medium-sized enterprises try to avoid the considerable setup- and operating costs of traditional EDI solutions and that the standards are not flexible enough. In addition, the variety of different industryspecific and national EDI standards makes it difficult for businesses to decide which standard to use. Therefore, the use of EDI is mainly reserved for large companies, and, as empirical analysis shows, one of the main reasons for SMEs to introduce EDI is usually pressure from larger business partners (Weitzel et al. 1999).

But although there undoubtedly is large savings potential, the use of EDI is by far not as widespread as one could expect. [...] The main reason is that especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) try to avoid the considerable setup- and operating costs of traditional EDI solutions. In addition, the variety of different industry-specific and national EDI standards makes it difficult for businesses to decide which standard to use. Therefore, the use of EDI is mainly reserved for large companies, and a current empirical analysis shows that one of the main reasons for the introduction of EDI is usually pressure from larger business partners, which is often called "gun-to-the-head-EDI" [Westarp/Weitzel/Buxmann/König 1999].
