What does it mean to me?
Baker & Taylor will be consolidating all of its VAN traffic to the Sterling Network as of 10am EST, Thursday October 2, 2008
What must I do?
There is nothing for you to do. UnitechEDI is working with Baker & Taylor, Sterling, and ICC to make this happen. We hope for a smooth transition, but if you do not receive expected Purchase Orders or have trouble sending EDI files to Baker & Taylor, please contact pierre_mccoy@stercomm.com. He is the person at Sterling monitoring Baker & Taylor’s mailbox. Please do not send a support request to UnitechEDI unless Sterling cannot resolve the problem.
In order to avoid any possible timing issues while the VANs are being switched, it would probably be better not to send any EDI files to Baker & Taylor between 9AM and noon on Thursday.
Normally when an interconnect of this type is required, you would be charged a $25 monthly interconnect charge, but due to a special arrangement with UnitechEDI and ICC, this cost will be waived.
This is our best thinking on this matter. For confirmation you should contact your Baker & Taylor representative. For more information contact (800) 330-4094 or support@unitechedi.com
