Searching questions needed

1. Do we in EU – widely enough - realize that preserving the living standards of today and having more to share to those who need help - is totally dependent on how competitive our enterprises are? 2. Do we – widely enough - realize that markets are global and open and Europe is not faring well in the competition? Exporting both jobs and high te...

Save 50-75bn with e-procurement

Deutsche Bank report: “There is huge savings potential – but beware of outlandish claims. A conservative back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that a full switch to e-procurement may save between EUR 50 to 75 bn on public procurement in the EU per year.

Look into this Treasure Chest

We have been working some time on opening the lid to a true European Treasure Chest. The lid is migration to structured business messages – and the key – e-invoicing - is held by every enterprise and consumer (or rather human user in employee and private role).
