The Evolution of eDelivery: From Pilots to a Refined Offer
eDelivery has come a long way since its inception in 2014. What began as various pilot projects has now evolved into a sophisticated solution and service infrastructure, that facilitates seamless data exchange. During the webinar, participants were guided through this remarkable journey, gaining insights into the history and growth of eDelivery.
Explained in lay terms: How eDelivery Works
Have you ever tried to explain a complex concept using a simple analogy? The policy officer at the webinar did just that by likening eDelivery to an airport. Just as an airport efficiently handles the flow of travellers and their luggage, eDelivery manages the exchange of messages among diverse organizations.
One fascinating revelation was that eDelivery does not provide the network itself. This might come as a surprise to many, but it's a fundamental aspect of how eDelivery operates. Instead of building a network from scratch, eDelivery focuses on providing the technical specifications and framework necessary for diverse organizations to exchange data and documents securely.
If you're curious to dive deeper into these aspects, we highly recommend reviewing the video from the webinar for a more comprehensive understanding.
Selecting just some of the advantages and benefits of using eDelivery:
Why start from scratch when you can leverage a mature solution? eDelivery has been meticulously developed over a decade, benefitting from public investment. This is only cost-efficient but also ensures a high level of capability from day one.
One of the pivotal aspects discussed was the trust factor in eDelivery. By providing common technical specifications, eDelivery fosters trust among participants through a message exchange network. Moreover, it ensures security, accountability, and reliability, making it a go-to choice for sensitive data exchange. Scalability was another highlight, as eDelivery allows for the easy addition of participants without requiring users to know all the ins and outs of the network.
eDelivery's ability to remain payload and business agnostic was highlighted. This means once it's set up, it can seamlessly adapt to various types of data and business processes, making it a versatile choice for diverse organizations.
It is important to recognize that eDelivery extends beyond mere theory; it is actively shaping transnational and national digital ecosystems. Additionally, a thriving market of eDelivery service providers has emerged, that gives organisations a wide array of options to choose from.
