The Norwegian experience

Norway is a front runner in the implementation of a CEN/BII compliant eInvoicing framework at national level. A balance of the experience after the first 18 months
Open ePRIOR
Didier Thunus, EC DG DIGIT
The European Commission solution ePrior was an early adopter of CEN/BII profiles for eInvoicing, eOrdering, and future plans include the pre-award profiles too; its Open Source version is playing an important role in spreading the use of CEN/BII profiles in Europe
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.
