Leading efficiency in the post-EDI era

Lee: EDI (Electronic data interchange ) was perceived by many to be the potential holy grail of invoicing as everyone would have the ability to order and invoice electronically. The fact that EDI has only been adopted by a very small percentage of organisations globally has lead to the question: What went wrong?

In my opinion, the factors influencing organisations adoption of EDI include: Lee: Whilst many customers love the idea of transacting with their suppliers electronically, the fact is that many suppliers consider the cost of implementing EDI to be extreme. In my experience, EDI is fairly prevalent in the large supply chain organisations as well as in intercompany transactions throughout multi-national organisations. EDI also exists between organisations that have minimal suppliers or where a large percentage of their goods/services are ordered from only a handful of suppliers. Lee: Volume of invoices is certainly a factor, however the real consideration should be based on the overall cost for the organisation to accurately process each invoice. Whilst it is often assumed that organisations with low invoice volumes are not a candidate for automation, we have found that several organisations have very large processing costs associated to each invoice due to complex review, receipt, approval and payment of invoices. Additionally, organisations with decentralised capture and or processing of invoices further exacerbates the cost to process. Through this education process, organisations are slowly increasing their receptivity to change and therefore adoption of e-invoicing across a wider industry sector and organisation size is increasing. Managers with financial accountability are becoming aware that the cost of processing documents manually is excessive and extends beyond the accounts payable area.

Many organisations are moving away from silo products to handle business unit specific issues, to an enterprise approach where one platform handles document automation for all business units. ELAP (Efficiency Leaders Automation Platform) is able to assist organisations to transact electronically via our electronic transactions module.

This ELAP module is a very economical, intelligent ‘print queue’ at the sender which ‘prints’ and sends an xml document to the customer. The customer is provided with a server based receiver that ingests the data through the same common, auditable, input stream as paper, fax and email. Intelligent automated business rules are then applied at the front end, including automatic line item extraction and validation, before sending any exceptions out via workflow to the wider business users.
