EDI move to FTP: Over the weekend of March 20, 2021, we started to utilize File Transfer Protocol (FTP) for processing our EDI files. This allows users to transfer EDI files automatically without having to manually upload and download physical files to a portal.  This also gives us improved scalability, increased security with a more robust EDI infrastructure

Monthly Tip & Trick:
Change your status in Microsoft Teams 

If you want to make sure people know when you’re busy or away  from your desk, set your status in Teams. The little dot on your profile indicates if you’re available or not. Teams will automatically set the status in some cases, like when you’re in a call. To explicitly set it yourself, go to your profile at the top of Teams and select one from the list.
