TeliaSonera (the leading Nordic telco) announced this week in Finland that they will increase the charge for sending paper invoices to corporate customers from 5 to 10€. Consumers are charged 1,90. This clear policy is for sure to be applauded – good for all parties (and big time for society at large) – for the following reasons: 1. The cost savi

We keep hearing from enraged enterprises that some e-invoicing service providers still continue with their old 3-corner strategy > signing up big invoice reveivers and trying to force suppliers to sign up with this particular service provider. Especially angry comments come from those who already have a functioning relationship for their large v...

Strong e-id is often needed when logging in also to non-banking services. Reusing bank e-id also there - especially in the public sector - is something of the most sensemaking aspects of also otherwise much needed public-private co-operation. 2011 was a great year for bank e-id (TUPAS) - the alternative (a state issued smartcard) is not used at al...
My name is Guy. Mr Same Guy. I show up in as a so called private customer off hours, then during working hours as a corporate customer, as a citizen in public sector services and often also as a member of associations, clubs etc. My point is that there are no corporate customers, no private customers, no citizens etc - only human customers or users...

1. Mr Same Guy yesterday. In the old days – when we launched PC-banking for SMEs and private customers (1982) at Union Bank of Finland we lived with the false impression that we had private and corporate customers – when we defacto only had human customers – in different roles. As a result the user experience was not similar enough across roles. Th...

E-invoicing as such does not save the 250bn/year cost. It is an enabler - and that is why the focus should move to the next layers. Experts tend to dig so deep into details that they forget to communicate the big picture. What is the WHY for e-Invoicing? From the EC Expert Group angle the targets are clear: 1. Improve enterprise competitiveness. S...

A panel discussion at EXPP made it clear that further clarification is needed to make it clear what the EU Commission means with equal treatment of paper and e-invoicing. The VAT directive states that business controls are sufficient. Now people ask what does that mean? What kind of business controls? The best way to fend off scare mongering - is ...
Most governments are trying hard to save tax payer’s money – and even more importantly trying to push the SME-sector into digital processes and financial administration. But still too many in EU seem too signal that 2020 is a deadline for unstructured invoicing. More here: http://eeiplatform.com/8528/an-overview-56-government-e-invoicing-initiative...
