The Eternal Flame is something you’ll probably recognize as the ever burning fire in ancient Greece; but in fact it has deeper roots in the Middle East.

The payments and banking industry has stepped up a gear and turned the process up a notch, making our lives much more convenient. Banks are beginning to wake up to their customers’ 24/7 demands ...

I was waiting at the British Airways lounge for my connection flight when my eyes caught the cover of a BusinessWeek magazine. “Hey China”, it said, “Stop Stealing Our Stuff!” In the last 2 years there has been a dramatic surge of Advance Persistent Threat attacks – military grade cyber attacks against commercial targets.

We have been running a Real Time Economy program in Finland since 2006 and it has become very clear that the elements created (from plan, concept to ready) will create the biggest change ever in business processes and financial administration.

SEPA is a big step towards a true single market and a ready docking station for ISO200022 e-invoices and from there full automation of business processes and real time finance.
