“The European Commission has today proposed a draft directive on E-Invoicing in public procurement, accompanied

by a communication setting out its vision for the full digitisation of the public procurement process, so-called

'end-to-end e-procurement”.European Commission, 26 June 2013

In Italy, about 11,000 Public Administrations and 2 to 2.5 million companies will be affected by the

E-Invoicing obligation coming in place step by step from June 2014.

Major barriers and how to overcome them (1)• Legal requirements are unknown or confusing Involve experienced network operators supporting you with tax compliant cross-border E-Invoicing services

• Change/adoption of internal organisationprocesses Ensure sufficient management attention and involve key persons in the project in an early stage

page 12

Major barriers and how to overcome them (2)• Divergent requirements of trading partners

regarding formats, methods and processes Involve network operators with the capability to address all sizes of trading partners with various requirements

• Trading partners do not support the electronic invoice Contact them. Often the trading partners just need inspiration to do it now and some guidance on how to do it. Higher acceptance if value added services are offered.

page 13

Major barriers and how to overcome them (3)• Lack of budget In-house developments cause high initial and follow-up costs. Field-tested applications and services from third parties are typically significantly cheaper. If services on demand or SaaS are preferred, the initial investments are moderate.

• Lack of resources to manage automation Shift E-Invoicing to the enterprise’s number 1 priority.

Major barriers and how to overcome them (4)• Lack of understanding of current available

Key findings and conclusions (1)• E-Invoicing is a strong and global trend.• The business case especially for larger recipients is

excellent.• Your trading parties are anticipating E-Invoicing.• The market maturity meanwhile achieved an advanced

level.• Appropriate solutions for any size of businesses are

Key findings and conclusions (2)• Divergent requirements of trading partners regarding

formats, methods, processes, added-value services and tax compliance however still build major barriers. Even for large multinational companies is this hard to overcome without third party assistance.

• For good luck is there already a rich offering of some experiencedand international service providers.
