PEPPOL profile of CEF eDelivery DSI as a national building block?

6. eDelivery setup Operational level Legislative level
PEPPOL profile of CEF eDelivery – AS2 Message Exchange Protocol (ordinary/enhanced)
Dynamic Discovery Model – centralised Service Metadata Publisher (ELMA) by Difi
Security Model – PEPPOL PKI, transport layer encryption or end-to-end security
Distributed service delivery – 57 private sector Access Point providers
Centralised service provider accreditation and support provided by Difi
eDelivery specifications (PEPPOL) and sample software (Oxalis) provided by Difi
Legislative level
Use of PEPPOL profile of CEF eDelivery is currently recommended for eInvoicing to central government entities
Will become mandatory to use in central government if defined as national building block
PEPPOL Transport Infrastructure Agreement as legal basis for eDelivery usage

8. eInvoicing Existing use of CEF eDelivery DSI (PEPPOL profile)

9. The eInvoicing use case
Registered eInvoicing recipients:
Public sector recipients: 99,7% of all entities
Number of eInvoices handled in October: 3,3 million
Number of eInvoices handled last 12 months: 32 million
70% of central government invoices received electronic
Number of eInvoices handled since 2012: 61 million
Estimated socio-economic savings: 5,1 billion NOK
5,1 milliarder NOK er ca €562 million

10. Key enablers for eInvoicing
Legislative measures – mandating central government usage
Standardisation of business processes and information flow in the invoicing process
European based: CEN BII / CEN TC434 and PEPPOL BIS
Provision and use of shared services / building blocks
PEPPOL profile of CEF eDelivery DSI, national shared services / building blocks
Capacity building among public sector buyers, their suppliers, ICT industry and decision makers
Increased digital maturity and focus on realisation of benefits
Cooperation with public and private stakeholders

11. ISO 20022-based payments Planned use of CEF eDelivery DSI (Enhanced PEPPOL profile)

12. Background for the use case
Banks and ERP vendors need one approach to enable ISO compliance for public and private sector
Covers off-line payments in the customer to bank interface
Reuse of open source software
Based on open standards
Little need for additional SW development

15. Conclusions

16. Towards consistent implementation of eDelivery in Norway
CEF eDelivery DSI (ordinary and enhanced PEPPOL profile) is under consideration as a national building block
Mandatory use in central government entities
Significant usage of eDelivery is already achieved in eInvoicing and eProcurement domain – spillover to payment and other domains
Planned usage in additional Difi operated shared services / building blocks
Cooperation with public and private stakeholders is the key to success
Possibility to re-use eDelivery-based services B2B in addition to B2G and G2G
Well functioning market for eDelivery-based solutions and services

17. Summary Potential and expected benefits – eDelivery as enabler
Joint infrastructure for cross domain and cross border secure messaging – avoid duplication
Socio economic benefits for invoicing and procurement domains: €850 million annually
Financing model
Government funding of facilitation and centralized services provided by Difi
Public and private sector users pay for their set-up or buying of access point as a service
On-boarding strategy
Consolidate and increase use of eDelivery in existing domains – utilise synergies
Use of eDelivery in national building blocks and shared services provided by Difi
Support for multiple exchange message protocols to enable transition
Process for establishing eDelivery as a separate national building block – mandatory use in central government entities
