As part of Red Hat JBoss Fuse 7, Red Hat introduces a new Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) called Fuse Ignite. Gartner uses the term citizen integrators to describe the iPaaS target market: folks who aren’t regularly concerned with integration. In my opinion, this market includes Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) analysts who focus on business rules and validations, rather than worrying about lines of code or Apache Camel routes.

EDI, or Electronic Data Interchange, has always been a challenging domain to support for organizations. As EDI standards cover a large range of industries, from supply chain to medical to financial services (FSI), the standards rapidly evolve and change over time, thus requiring constant maintenance. The sheer cost of maintaining standards is high, not only for organizations but also for EDI software vendors who struggle to keep up. The expensive fees paid to standards organizations and rapidly evolving releases are the main reasons there are no decent open source EDI tools in the community.
