Schaumburg, IL (December 7, 2007). Palm, Inc. has extended their EDI outsourcing partnership with Effective Data (ED), a private Schaumburg - based EDI Consulting and Data Integration firm.

Sunnyvale, CA – based Palm, Inc. has extended their long-term relationship with Effective Data. ED and Palm’s relationship goes way back to the beginning of Palm. Years ago, ED supported all EDI operations at 3Com. When 3Com and Palm branched off into two separate companies, ED was there. ED continued to support Palm’s EDI operations. Over the years Palm transitioned Effective Data from an EDI consulting role…to completely outsourcing their entire EDI department to ED. Now Effective Data manages all Palms’ EDI operations on a daily basis from their Schaumburg data center. Palm and ED have recently renewed their agreement to extend well into the future.

Effective Data and Palm have built a solid, long-term relationship based on honesty, integrity and mutual respect.
