Supporting documentation

Implementing a new set of standards can be daunting. Therefore, DDEX has produced the following supporting documentation which provides all the information you need to know about DDEX, its standards and their implementation. The content of the more technical documentation has been developed from DDEX members' real implementation experiences and will help you understand which standards are right for you and how you might go about implementing them.
