Europakommisionen har nu satt en hög ambitionsnivå avseende adoptionen av e-Faktura i Europa, där man vill främja en hög adoptionsgrad redan inom ett decennium. Man ser tydligt att E-Faktura besitter potentialen att stå för en avgörande skillnad för affärsverksamheter, offentliga organ, konsumenter och europeisk handel i stort. Vinsterna i termer tid och pengar är helt i linje med kommissionens Digital Agenda for Europe 2020, och man har initierat flera initiativ för en harmonisering av regelverk och standards inom regionen.

Sverige och Norden ligger relativt sett i framkant avseende införande av e-Faktura, men vi har fortfarande en lång väg att gå till ett bredskaligt införande. e-FinanceForum erbjuder nu dig ett unikt tillfälle att lära från och nätverka med representanter från företag och organisationer, som alla har det gemensamt att de har tagit steget till ett införande och kan visa på erfarenheterna. De illustrerar hur de lyckats samordna organisationen internt, hur de knutit leverantörer närmare sig samt hur de dragit fördelar av att skicka e-faktura till kund.

Några av huvudpunkterna under dagen är:

• • Hur säkerställer ni att organisationen internt arbetar mot samma mål?
• • Lär hur ni genom processoptimering från behov-till-betalning kan minska kostnader och optimera kassaflöde
• • Maximera leverantörs & kundrerelationen genom integrerade kommunikationsnätverk – ta del av både sändare och mottag-
• areperspektivet!
• • Hur får ni kontroll över era kostnader och kan göra realtidsuppdaterade spendanalyser?
• • Ta del av Europakommissionens initiativ för främjande av Cross-Border e- Payments

I år tillhandahåller vi ågerigen tre parallella konferensspår: Inkommande faktura, Purchase-to-pay samt utgående e-faktura. För att ytterligare maximera din inlärning och ditt nätverkande erbjuder e-finance forum en rad kompletterande inslag. Under dagen får du ta del av presentationer från branschexperter och nyckelpersoner samt paneldiskussioner. Vidare engageras du själv under dagen genom rundabordssamtal tillsammans med andra deltagare och erbjuds möjligheten att träffa systemleverantörer under interaktiva workshops.

Missa inte detta unika tillfälle att lära av och jämföra er med de ledande organisationerna i Sverige. Jag ser fram emot att välkomna dig till Sheraton Stockholm Hotel den 27:e oktober 2011!

Only integrated processes yield cost savings. The big potential savings
come not from spending less on printing or postage, but from using modern,
automated processes for all invoice-related tasks. Advocates of the electronic
invoice believe that it will trigger these modernisations in a catalytic process,
whereas sceptics see e-invoicing as more like the final stage in an already largely
automated invoice processing system.

The legal situation and the lack of interoperability are holding back
the rollout. Lawmakers need to grant the electronic invoice completely equal
status to the paper invoice and to dispel legal uncertainties. Moreover, the
technical fragmentation of the market has to be resolved. Each user has to be
able to interchange electronic invoices with every other user regardless of the
selected e-invoicing provider and its application. Constructing such a network
requires a common technical standard that enables interoperability between the
e-invoicing providers.

Standard-setting by market participants is desirable. To date no such
market standard has become established. The competition between e-invoicing
suppliers could be complemented by a level of technical cooperation: service
providers, private and public users should jointly define a standard. The adoption
of e-invoicing by the public sector would not only provide a boost to the volume of
electronic invoices issued, it would implicitly also enhance the legal certainty of
electronic invoicing.
