Electronic Document Professional
- Electronic Document Professional
The EDP (Electronic Document Professional) is a professional designation awarded by Xplor International for participants in the electronic document industry who have satisfied a number of criteria.
The EDP is not a measure of specific knowledge, but awardees normally have a broad knowledge of the electronic document industry along with specific knowledge in one or more areas. Thus, the EDP differs from certifications such as the CDIA+ from CompTIA in which the awardee has passed a formal exam. Rather, the EDP is more closely related to the older MIT and LIT designations from AIIM. Generally, the EDP does show that the awardee has been in the industry for at least 5 years, and has participated in at least 3 major projects showing competence in a number of 'bodies of knowledge'.
The EDP program is regulated by the EDP Commission of Xplor International, which is a body of senior professionals in the electronic document industry who set the standards and judge the qualifications of the applicants.
History
The first EDP 'class' (as the annual group of awardees is called) was in 1990, when 12 industry professionals were given the award. In 1991, the class was much smaller (only 6), but in 1992 and in all the years following, the number of awardees has generally been double digits, with as many as 25 at one time. The Dutch Chapter of Xplor International has particularly stressed the EDP designation as an essential part of being a professional in the electronic document industry, with the result that in some years, more than ten Dutch members alone were named EDPs, and there are more EDPs per capita in The Netherlands today than in any other country.
In all, there are more than 500 industry professionals with this designation, including:
