UN/CEFACT
Background/Business Drivers
In 1981 4 major groups working within the Port of Hamburg
(Forwarder, Liner Agent, Tally and Quay Operator) decided to set
up a
Port – Communication – System
The main target: Speed up the flow of information!
The main problems: No standards available! Hardly no software available with inbuild EDI-function
The challenge: Reducing the vision, concentrate on a small
number of business cases to start with
UN/CEFACT
Project Phases and Evolution
Phase 1: Port-Communication-System for Seaport Forwarder, Tally,
Liner Agent and Quay Operator only
Phase 2: From a mere EDI-Clearing-Center to a Systemhouse
Applications and IT-Services for the transport sector
Phase 3: Neutral Platform The public sector orders IT-infrastructure
(Dangerous Cargo, Harbour Rail)
Phase 4: “DAKOSY leaves the Port” and offers EDI- and IT-Services
alongside the whole Transport Chain (cross border)
Future: Bank, Insurance, …

The Business Model
Shareholders to pay a yearly fee for the so called „traditionell EDI-
Business within the port - community“
Each participant has to sign a contract with one of the
shareholders and has to pay to them for the usage of the EDI-
Network of DAKOSY
Additional services of DAKOSY (EDI, ASP and IT- Services) are
charged by DAKOSY directly (e.g. per transaction)
UN/CEFACT
Financing Development and Maintenance
Initial invest: DM 2.000,000.-
Average cost per transaction:
Depending on complexity between € 0.01 and € 1.00
Some services are mandatory (Dangerous Cargo Movement Control,
Customs Export Control)
Our shareholder get their share indirectly (by reselling our services)
The money we earn we spend on Maintenance and Development!
UN/CEFACT
Standards
Problem of the “early bird”: We had to create our own
standards (syntax and content)!
With the framework of EDIFACT live became easier!
XML – beloved by Newcomers in the EDI-Business – can still
not compete with the existing “message library of EDIFACT”
Trend: Focus on content and not on syntax!
In future first the core components are to be defined!
Messages are build on those core components…
and only at the end lays the decision for the syntax !
