Newsletter Topics Select minimum 1 topic. Enterprise Software. Are there any specific reasons for continuing with VANs? Sure, there might be a few other less-known options out there but these two are, by far, the most widely used. But which of these two options is best for your business?
When you subscribe the services of a VAN, your cost will largely depend on the volume of data you transmit through their network. This is usually calculated on a per kilo-character basis, which is basically a measurement of the number of characters you include in your document. Most VANs offer pay-as-you-go, monthly, or annual subscription models but all these models still revolve around the per character pricing concept.
So, for example, when you go for a monthly subscription, you'll usually be entitled or limited, however way you look at it to a certain length of characters per document. You'll need to pay a premium the moment you exceed that limit, which can happen very quickly since most character computations included spaces and delimiters.

Once you have your AS2 system set up, there's no limit to the amount of data you can transmit. The higher the volume of EDI data you transmit, the greater cost savings you're going to realize against a VAN subscription. In all likelihood, you're going to be transacting with several trading partners, each employing a different method of communication. This extensive support means, for as long as your trading partner is also subscribed to the same VAN, you should have no problem exchanging EDI documents with them.
