Danish e-Government strategy 2011-2015
• The mission is to modernize the public sector
• No more printed forms or letters:
• 80 pct of all communication digital by 2015
• Digital mail box to all companies and citizens
• Building on years of valuable experiences e.g.
• Mandatory electronic invoicing
Mandatory since 2005..
• No paper invoices accepted by the public buyers in Denmark
• 70 percent of all Danish companies are affected
• Changing workflows took a while
• Today administrative costs are down by 80 percent
• Many valuable learning points during the implementation process
It takes two to tango..
• The small companies stuck to scanning
• A solution was needed and put in place – NemHandel
• The market now creates NemHandel solutions meeting the needs of SME’s
• Today both sides of the table benefits
A taste for more…
• E-invoicing has proved its value
• Increased the willingness to do more
• Demand for end-to-end procurement is increasing
• Next step: a European solution to work cross border
• OpenPEPPOL is the obvious choice
