How does eDelivery work
The eDelivery Building Block helps users to exchange electronic data and documents with one another in a reliable and trusted way.
The eDelivery solution is based on a distributed model called the “4-corner model”. In this model, the back-end systems of the users don’t exchange data directly with each other but do this through Access Points. These Access Points are conformant to the same technical specifications and therefore capable of communicating with each other.
As a result of this, users adopting eDelivery can easily and safely exchange data even if their IT systems were developed independently from each other.
What are the elements in play?
eDelivery has the following Use Cases:
These Use Cases are domain-neutral as eDelivery can be used for the exchange of any type of document and data.
As an example, the first use case refers to a generic 'Message Exchange' instead of 'Invoices Exchange' or 'Claims Exchange'. The exchange of invoices or claims are domain-specific Use Cases and are examples specializations of the 'Message Exchange' Use Case. eDelivery is an enabler of a wide variety of services which will exchange specific types of documents and data, below are a few examples.
