Progress plan for building the PEPPOL community

READY: Since May 2010, basic PEPPOL components and services are in place for a limited number of invited test pilot participants.

PROVEN: From now until mid 2011, a growing number of production pilots create an integrated community between PEPPOL consortium members, using PEPPOL to perform real business. Recruitment of non-PEPPOL consortium members as pilot participants evolves.

IN USE: By the end of 2011, we will have a substantial number of pilots performing real business through PEPPOL among both PEPPOL and non-PEPPOL consortium members.

ESTABLISHED: By mid 2012, the PEPPOL Community expands beyond those recruited by PEPPOL to recruitment by commercial market driven adoption.

UNIVERSAL:  After mid 2012, a critical mass of adoption sees PEPPOL used by a majority of eProcurement communities across Europe.

Summary

PEPPOL has “gone live”: the first (real!) cross-border electronic invoice has been exchanged between Denmark and Sweden on 1st March 2011!

PEPPOL has become a key initiative in the European Commission eProcurement policy

Recruitment of PEPPOL users ongoing

E-procurement communities

Contracting Authorities & Buyer/supplier pairs

PEPPOL enabled solutions and services about to be brought to market

PEPPOL is working to ensure the “long term sustainability” of the results after the project end. Cooperation with the ISA initiative is ongoing, that will guarantee continuity for the first years after the project end. The governance should be ensured by the user community, involving private and public sector stakeholders
