# Assessment 11 #### Implementing blockchain for supply chain requires completely replacing existing EDI infrastructure and retraining all trading partners on new systems. * [ ] True * False **Notes to Learners** This misconception prevents many organizations from exploring blockchain. The reality demonstrated by Walmart, Maersk, and hundreds of others is that blockchain works alongside existing EDI. Your EDI continues handling document exchange using the same formats and processes. Blockchain adds a complementary verification layer that records critical events. Small suppliers can continue using simple EDI connections or mobile apps—they don't need to understand blockchain. Integration happens at the system level, not the user level. This is precisely why adoption is accelerating—it preserves existing investments while solving expensive problems. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
