The mission is to modernize the public sector
No more printed forms or letters:

Digital mail box to all companies and citizens
Building on years of valuable experiences e.g.
Mandatory electronic invoicing

3. Mandatory since
No paper invoices accepted by the public buyers in Denmark
70 percent of all Danish companies are affected
Changing workflows took a while
Today administrative costs are down by 80 percent
Many valuable learning points during the implementation process

A solution was needed and put in place – NemHandel
The market now creates NemHandel solutions meeting the needs of SME’s
Today both sides of the table benefits

5. A taste for more… E-invoicing has proved its value
Increased the willingness to do more
Demand for end-to-end procurement is increasing
Next step: a European solution to work cross border
