How to benefit fully from e-invoicing? Technical session

When it comes to e-invoicing, the question is no longer IF it will become the standard for the future, but rather WHEN. After all, companies have multiple reasons to convert to e-invoicing: it is faster, less expensive, more reliable, more sustainable and/or meets suppliers'/customers' demands. To lower the threshold to e-invoicing, legislation has been simplified considerably recently. And e-invoicing technology is ready, user-friendly and affordable.

Join us for 2 dedicated e-invoicing seminars, an initiative of SAP and Deloitte. On May 7 you will learn all about the business impact of e-invoicing. On May 17, we will schedule a follow-up seminar that highlights its technical aspects.
