A glitch in the Gordon and Gotch IT infrastructure meant that not all newsagents using the soon to be phased out original XChangeIT platform received their electronic invoices for today. This caused considerable frustration as the newsagents affected, software companies, like mine and others, scrambled to find out the cause.
Once we found out that it was the old XChangeIT affected there was a feeling of relief. There is plenty riding on the new platform and many of us have put out the call for newsagents to make the move to XChangeIT Link before the old EDI platform shuts down next month.
Hundreds of newsagents are yet to migrate. Many, including those with software which will not work with the new XChangeIT Link will have to revert to manual magazine management.
I don’t see any real difference between the two other than the cost.
