VALUE ADDED NETWORK (VAN) A private network used by a company primarily for routing, storing and delivering electronic data interchange (EDI) messages. A value-added network (VAN) also provides other services such as message encryption, retransmission and support. VANs may be operated by large companies for efficient supply chain management with their suppliers, or by industry consortiums and telecom providers.
