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 did just that by likening eDelivery to an airport. Just as an airport efficiently handles the diverse flow of travellers and their luggage, eDelivery manages the exchange of messages among 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 organisations to exchange data and documents securely.
If you're curious to dive deeper into these aspects, we highly recommend reviewing the slides and the video from the webinar for a more comprehensive understanding.
For some projects, eDelivery emerged as a beacon of cost-efficiency. Others highlighted eDelivery's capacity to provide not just a digital solution but a secure, reliable, and accountable infrastructure right from the start, instilling confidence in their data exchange processes. Other speakers celebrated eDelivery's scalability, sharing how it adapted to their expanding needs, and how the option to reuse the solution for subsequent projects significantly saved time and resources.
We're excited to announce that a series of in-depth blog posts will soon appear on the eDelivery blog. These articles will dive deeper into the advantages that these projects have experienced with eDelivery, providing a more detailed look at how this solution has positively impacted their operations. Stay tuned for a closer exploration of these remarkable success stories to appear on the eDelivery blog.
