Paper invoices have NO future. When we understand that then everything else will flow. Hardly necessary to repeat the 5 mega-class reasons: http://boharald.blogspot.com/2008/08/paper-invoices-have-no- future.html.
But next it is a question of getting there fast - we cannot afford to be slow. Two actions:
1. invoice receivers to follow the example of 5 EU states, Kesko, Nordea, City of Tampere, Lindstrom, TietoEnator = ANNOUNCE that only e- will be accepted after xx.xx.2009 and grant only very few exceptions
2. invoice senders to charge the higher cost for paper invoices in a transparent way from receivers still preferring it
Other ideas?
maybe we (RTE-communtiy) should give a prize of public recognition to the best in field company ? or provide a standard and a logo for those who follow the standard?
At least we should make the list public and add new members - incountry, Eu and global..
