That is where we focus. One of the ways we contribute is by making the market transparent: which solutions exist, what they do and how they differ. That lets a business compare, shortlist and choose for itself, without depending on a sales pitch. Alongside that we share knowledge and bring our experience to the standards themselves. Electronic invoicing is our main field. Through Peppol.nu we map the providers connected to the Peppol network. Alongside that we are building einvoicer.com, opening this up worldwide and beyond Peppol. The principle stays the same, and it is not limited to invoicing.
Digital services tend to be written up badly: too technical for a business owner, too commercial to trust, too abstract to act on. We pull out what actually matters and present it so that someone can make a decision. That works because we complement each other. One of us comes from policy, standardisation and the question of what a development means; the other from technology, implementation and the question of how it works in practice. Together we bridge the distance between those two worlds. We write for different audiences: employees who encounter this in their work, business owners who have to make a choice, and public sector organisations that have to align policy with delivery. Each needs a different account of the same subject. Electronic invoicing and the Peppol network are where we do this today. The approach itself travels further.
