E-invoicing in Corporate Banking: A European PerspectiveCognizant
The prolonged economic crisis that has spread across Europe is forcing banks' decision makers to reduce costs, streamline operations and consider new, standards-based transaction models -- all while safeguarading their working capital. E-invoicing is an increasingly popular option for commercial and corporate banks looking to drive more efficiencies across their financial supply chain -- powered by the cloud and supported by a trusted third party.
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.
In today’s fast changing world, where information flows more freely and connections are made in a click, enterprises are under increasing pressure to perform. One way to deal with this challenge is to simplify processes and opt for the digitization of customer communications. This move enables organizations to cut costs and improve productivity.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

1. Results of the Expert Group on e-Invoicing Bo Harald ChairEC Expert Group on e-Invoicing
2. Expert Group on e-Invoicing - Mission Defined in Commission Decision of 31 October 2007: Identify shortcomings in current regulatory framework Define e-Invoicing business requirements Address relevant e-invoicing data elements (and linkages) Propose responsibilities for standardisation bodies and time schedule Propose a European e-Invoicing Framework - a common conceptual structure
7. Reasons for fast adoption Value of information in structured form apparent Productivity improvement potential – 250bn > business case for service providers and customers (Deutsche Bank Research report – 54bn€ pa in Germany alone) Demographic challenges – liberating for more productive work much needed
8. Dilemma nbr 1: EU workforce nose-diving 2020 35 million smaller 25 m larger Digitalization key to automation. Productivity improvement potential 250bn with e-invoicing Automation liberates much needed resources for productive work Automation leads to real time completion of processes 5
11. improved cash flow, cheaper financing and real time visibility5. Very large savings and service improvement potential in public sector
12. 2. Key Recommendations Progress made Banking sector could do more 1: Meet the needs of SMEs as a priority focus. 2: Harmonise and clarify the legal and VAT framework based on equal treatment of paper and electronic. 3: Maximise interoperability and reach. 4: All actors to adopt a common invoice standard and data model- the UN/CEFACT CII v.2. 5: Establish an organisational process for implementation of the EEIF. 6: Widely promote and communicate the benefits. VAT-directive for equal treatment Much work needed Great progress in ISO EC to establish PAN-EU Multi stakeholder Forum and recommend member states to do same Much work needed in SME and public sector
13. Time for EU to address the needs of SMEs Small enterprises cannot afford to invest in advanced ERP systems Small enterprises cannot afford to communicate in x number of standards to their counterparts Small enterprises cannot afford to support connectivity to x number of counterparties Service providers should take all this in account – provide the simplest interfaces
14. More than dematerialization – cutting administrative costs in all dimensions Very important to demonstrate full potential for SMEs: Automated accounting Automated and real time cash flow estimates Automated and real time VAT Automated invoice financing Automated and unified reporting to public sector All achieved by moving to e-invoicing.
15.
16. This would speed up migration to e-invoicing and make it voluntary (deadlines for unstructured invoicing and transparent pricing still needed)
