1. CEN WS/BII2 1 Spreading interoperability in eProcurement processes across Europe Open Seminar Brussels December 6, 2012

2. CEN WS/BII2 PEPPOL and Open PEPPOL Andre Hoddevik, Project Director of PEPPOL, Secretary General of OpenPEPPOL Anders Kingstedt, OpenPEPPOL Post-award Community Coordinator PEPPOL has had a close relationship with CEN/BII, using a wide range of profiles both in pre- and post-award, and providing useful feed-back for the evolution of CEN/BII deliverables. OpenPEPPOL will evolve the PEPPOL results, and continue to have a close relationship with CEN/BII, especially in the field of post-award. 2

6. PEPPOL is owned by OpenPEPPOL AISBL The eProcurement landscape Fragmented eProcurement market driven by various groups developing industry or country specific solutions Low levels of government involvement, usage, or legislative incentives Lack of coordinated vision between all participants - private and public Belief that wide-scale standardisation ‘will never happen’ - reminiscent of the pre-Internet period KEY CHALLENGES Closed networks, locked-in solutions and lack of interoperability, resulting in “islands of eProcurement” Multitude of standards and formats, resulting in need for conversion and increased cost and complexity Lack of focus on the big picture: the complete purchase-to-pay process resulting in single process oriented solutions

7. PEPPOL is owned by OpenPEPPOL AISBL The PEPPOL Vision The PEPPOL vision is: “To enable businesses to communicate electronically with any European government institution in the procurement process, increasing efficiencies and reducing costs.” The PEPPOL project (2008-2012) was launched to address the key eProcurement challenges in Europe. It has been jointly funded by the EC and a consortium of 18 government agencies from 11 member states

8. PEPPOL is owned by OpenPEPPOL AISBL PEPPOL Components: focus on the critical phases PEPPOL Pre-award focus: eAttestation (VCD), eCatalogues, eSignature validation, potential use of PEPPOL Transport Infrastructure PEPPOL Post-award focus: eCatalogues, eOrdering, eInvoicing and Transport Infrastructure. Potential use of eSignature validation and eAttestations

9. PEPPOL is owned by OpenPEPPOL AISBL PEPPOL Benefits Connect once and communicate with everyone already connected to the PEPPOL network, using a single Access Point (APs) and entering into only one agreement (PEPPOL Transport Infrastructure Agreements – PEPPOL TIA) - with no roaming fees between APs PEPPOL reduces the cost and complexity of implementing eProcurement solutions based on one set of standard specifications and guidelines (PEPPOL BIS) that can be used across Europe, instead of adapting to a multitude of formats PEPPOL facilitates supplier access to a wider eProcurement market across borders, by removing cross-border barriers, providing opportunities for greater competition and lowering buyers’ sourcing costs Widespread PEPPOL adoption creates significant demand for more advanced IT solutions and services. IT service and solution providers have the opportunity to access new markets by offering PEPPOL enabled solutions across Europe

OpenPEPPOL AISBL* has been operational from 1 st of September 2012, taking over ownership of PEPPOL results and governance responsibilities. OpenPEPPOL’s goals are: Encourage European governments and their suppliers to continue implementing eProcurement using the PEPPOL specifications, promoting best practices Ensure that the PEPPOL network continues to grow in an open, accessible and compliant manner, supporting interoperability for European public services and helping Europe move towards a Digital Single Market Encourage the development of innovative PEPPOL-based ICT products and services supporting public procurement processes, fostering their use also in the B2B context * OpenPEPPOL is an international non-profit organisation under Belgian law founded by former PEPPOL consortium partners, with membership open to public and private organisations.

20. PEPPOL is owned by OpenPEPPOL AISBL Background – EC Roadmap and Actions EC Roadmap for electronic invoicing in public procurement: Main problem to be addressed: Multiple Standards imposed by Member States. Policy approach considered as the most effective: Legislative Act: possibility of making e-invoicing mandatory in public procurement, mandating the use of specific standards to ensure interoperability. Single Market Act II – Key Action 10: “Make electronic invoicing the standard invoicing mode for public procurement.” The introduction of legislative measures making e-invoicing a standard practice in public procurement will make the public sector a 'lead market' for e-invoicing and spearhead its wider use in the economy A Strategy for e-Procurement: “Support the deployment of e-procurement infrastructure, ensuring support for the sustainability of the PEPPOL components from mid-2012”

21. PEPPOL is owned by OpenPEPPOL AISBL OpenPEPPOL recommendations to BII OpenPEPPOL supports the establishment of BII3 Further development of pre-award profiles to be prioritised OpenPEPPOL recommends that BII CWAs on e-invoicing are handed over to a relevant CEN Technical Committee (TC) as basis for establishment of a European norm for e- invoicing The process for establishing a new TC or – preferably – identifying a relevant existing TC should be initiated ASAP The BII-based European norm for e-invoicing should be referenced in the forthcoming legislative measures making e-invoicing a standard practice in public procurement Page 21
