The New Approach For Bringing Adoption Of E Invoicing By Sm Es To The Next Le...Danny Gaethofs
Bringing adoption of the new VAT directives to the next level requires a mind shift of Tax Authorities, internal and external Tax Auditors, Businesses and Solution / Service Providers.
They all need to consider and establish a new "Compliant e-Business (e-Invoicing) approach" with less focus on the processes and technologies used (technologically neutral) but more on the end-to-end-trade process.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Foreword
One of the conclusions of the CEN/ISSS Workshop on Electronic Invoicing Phase 1 (completion in 2006)
was that the next workshop phase (CEN/ISSS eINV Phase 2) has to foster the efforts in knowledge
management activities and in spreading information about electronic invoicing activities and processes in
Europe.
In the CEN/ISSS working phase 2 five projects have been set up in a business plan:
1. Enhanced adoption of electronic invoicing in business processes in Europe;
2. Compliance of electronic invoice implementations with Council Directive 2001/115/EC and Directive
on the Common System of Value Added Tax (2006/112/EC) as well as Member States’ national
legislation electronic invoicing as regards;
3. Cost-effective authentication and integrity of electronic invoices regardless of formats and
technologies;
4. Effective implementation of compliant electronic invoice systems in using emerging technologies and
business processes; and
5. Emerging network infrastructure of invoice operators throughout Europe.
Project 1 does have an integrative function: Collecting all results of the other workgroups and publish them
on the web knowledge platform called E-INVOICE GATEWAY together with the additional information.
General Disclaimer: These Guidelines and Commentary are a work in progress and out for review. While
every effort has been made to ensure consistency with legal requirements that apply to e-invoicing in the
European Union, no guarantees of legal compliance or fitness for purpose are made by the drafters or CEN;
any use of these documents is at the user’s own risk.

Draft CWA NNNNN – CEN/ISSS EIG
Introduction
Due to the fact that e-invoicing does has a very country specific focus many country related activities are
initiated (e.g. for supporting of SME). Nevertheless confusions about cross boarder invoicing activities are
still present.
There are activities which try to help in decreasing these barriers and help in collecting information about
technical, legal and organizational aspects of e-invoicing (see AustriaPro initiative ebCrossBorder1).
The CEN/ISSS workshop in e-invoicing is established as forum and meeting place for experts from several
stakeholders such as standardization authorities, public authorities, regulation authorities, solution providers,
general infoportals, national initiatives and certification authorities.
With their efforts in finishing the business plan for the CEN/ISSS WS eINV workphase 1 the workgroup
members identified the need for enhanced communication and information about the topic e-invoicing and
the way of cooperation and publication of information.
With the help of information and communication technologies (ICT) this lack of information shall be reduced
and the building up of a community of practice in the area of European wide e-invoicing shall be fostered.
The task of the CEN/ISSS WS eINV Phase 2 workgroup 1 is to support these efforts in offering suitable ICT
which is deduced by a knowledge management strategy.
The knowledge management strategy defines the internal processes which have to be implemented as
technical functions within this ICT tool. It is essential that the ICT tools support all workgroups in publishing
their results, in building a community of practice and in reducing barriers in the field of e-invoicing.

1 Scope
The scope of workgroup 1 regarding the business plan of CEN/ISSS WS eINV2:
• supporting to build up the planned website within the “e-invoicing gateway”;
• collecting and describing best practices country by country of electronic invoices and national
implementation guidelines in local language;
• supporting a network of national e-invoice forums to foster communication and exchange of national
best practices in electronic invoices;
• drafting guidelines as to how to move towards one e-invoice address registry inside EU and bringing
up best practice.
In the first workshop meeting a knowlegde management strategy was discussed by members of the
CEN/ISSS WS phase 1. A stepwise (incremental) approach was chosen:
• Step 1 is to offer all parties who are operating in the field of e-invoicing a participation possibility in
an online platform where they are able to enter their profile.
• Step 2 is to offer high quality information about the country specific technical, legal and operational
aspects on e-invoicing and support publishing of the CEN/ISSS eINV2 WG results.
The strategy takes care of the following items:
1) Building a non-commerical information portal as single point of contact (SPOC) for European e-invoicing
information,
2) Activating a critical mass of users supporting the exchange and collection of high quality information,
3) Annualy publishing an intellectual capital statement about e-invoicing.
The processes which shall support these strategies are:
1) Enlisting and self-enlisting of organizations in the field of e-invoicing in Europe (different stakeholders),
2) Establishing a lead person in the field of e-invoicing for each European country who has to fullfil several
duties and supports the CEN/ISSS WS eINV2,
3) Collecting country related information about technical, legal and organizational aspects,
4) Offering a web-based knowledge management tool which supports all workgroups of the CEN/ISSS WS
eINV2 in collaborating, publishing and getting response from the community,
5) Building a community of practice with the help of an annual event (call for use cases, call for papers, call
for best practices in the field of e-invoicing)
These processes will be described in detail in section 2 of this document.
8. Page 7
Draft CWA NNNNN – CEN/ISSS EIG
2 Processes
Deduced from the strategy the following processes were defined and implemented on the website:
1) Enlisting of organizations in the field of e-invoicing in Europe.
A self-enlisting function helps in getting data from the organizations quickly.
2) Establishing a lead person in the field of e-invoicing for each European country who has to fullfil
several duties.
To foster the collection of country related data a local expert in the field of e-invoicing supports the efforts.
This person shall be well connected to the country’s initiatives.
3) Collecting country related information about technical, legal and organizational aspects.
Here a short executive summary shall bring a good overview about the current situation and additional
information about technical, legal and organizational aspects. The information is either uploaded or linked.
4) Offering a web based knowledge management tool which supports all workgroups of the CEN/ISSS
WS eINV2 in collaborating, publishing and getting response from the community.
Every workgroup has its own of working on their tasks. The technology must not handicap them in their work
but must support their individual way of making progress and creating results.
5) Building of a community of practice with the help of an annual event (call for use cases, call for papers,
call for best practices in the field of e-invoicing).
Establishing a community of practice community and an annual call for papers, call for best practice and use
cases in the field of e-invoicing will help in collecting information for the e-invoicing community and also raise
awareness for the topic.

2.1 Enlisting Organizations
The goal of the functionality of enlisting organizations is to create a directory of standardization authorities,
public authorities, regulation authorities, solution providers, general infoportals, national initiatives and
certification authorities in the field of e-invoicing in Europe. These organizations have to add clear and brief
information about their contribution to e-invoicing.
The information given must not be a consumer advertisement or promotion of products or services. This fact
will be carefully watched by the technical editor and the responsible Country Information Manager.
Organizations have the possibility to self-enlist: The opt-in function guarantees that the entered information
is not published immediately on the website. After the enlisting form is filled in and the data is submitted, the
data set will be stored in the database and it will be scanned by a Country Information Manager who has the
possibility to publish the data or to delete the entry.
The E-Invoice Gateway offers a reminder service: If organizations accept this service by enabling a check
box, they will be periodically reminded to update their entry. This will be done by sending an email to the
email address in the entry with a link to the edit section of the website.
This link is generated with a hash-code and is only valid for 3 hours. Due to this mechanism no user
accounts for the organizations have to be administerd which reduces maintaince efforts.
2.2 Establishing a lead person for each country
Experts and mentors who are willing to act as supporters of this workshop are listed on the website. They
are called Country Information Manager (CIM). Goals of the effort in bringing CIMs on the webplatform:
• Have up a native speaking contact for requests
• Present a lead person in the area of e-invoicing in the specific country
The tasks of the CIM are in detail:
• Identifying activities/companies/organizations in the field of e-invoicing in their own country and to
inform those parties about this European-wide non-commercial activity,
• Adding country related information about technical, legal and organizational aspects of e-invoicing of
their own country,
• Inform about the mission of the platform (native speaking contact for requests of own country) in
case someone needs more information about this CEN/ISSS activity,
• Mentorship (in terms of usability engineering aspects and continous improvement process aspects).
2.3 Collecting country related information about technical, legal
and organizational aspects
This section of the E-Invoice Gateway2 will offer country related information: A short executive summary
shall provide a good overview about the current situation.
Additional information about technical, legal and organizational aspects are either uploaded or linked.
The Country Information Manager is responsible for the content.

2.4 Offering a web based knowledge management tool
This process supports all workgroups of the CEN/ISSS WS eINV2 in collaborating, publishing and getting
response from the community.
Due to the fact that every workgroup of the CEN/ISSS WS eINV2 has its own way of working on their tasks
the technology aspects differ.
Up to now (June 2008) following technical implementations on the website have been established:
• WIKI for terms and definitions3 (Workgroup 4)
• Implementation of a upload section for the CEN/Fiscalis e-invoicing Good Practice Guidelines
(workgroup 2 subgroup 1)
• Implementation of an issue list, upload section and a response function on the website for
