What is DGIs role?
DGI is the exclusive testing certification authority for GDSN. DGI administers testing in a neutral, cooperative and non-competitive environment. DGI maintains strict vendor neutrality to assure integrity of the testing process. • DGI maintains the confidentiality of each participant’s progress during the testing process • DGI only interacts with the technical staff of the participating data pools on daily phone calls during the testing process (Sales and Marketing are only involved in related press releases subsequent to the completion of testing) • DGI creates a non-competitive, cooperative environment for data pools to successfully pass and complete testing • DGI only announces those data pools that have successfully passed the tests — i.e., DGI does not make public those entities that have not succeeded in completing or passing tests.
