What are the reasons to have an eInvoicing Pioneer Group?
The eInvoicing Advisory Group for the eInvoicing Readiness Checker proved to be a successful experience of co-creation involving eInvoicing stakeholders and the European Commission to achieve a service that responded to stakeholders' needs.
Now that the eInvoicing Readiness Checker is live, it is important to replicate the model whereby a motivated group of eInvoicing stakeholders can meet remotely, on a monthly basis, to provide a range of input to the European Commission and to drive activities to support the launch of the European Standard on eInvoicing as well as to support the compliance with Directive 2014/55/EU.
What could be the relevant activities of the eInvoicing Pioneer Group?
The relevant activities of the eInvoicing Pioneer Group broadly include the following:
- To help CEF SMO to dentify different national (relevant national & sub-national authorities with responsibility for eInvoicing) and sector specific stakeholders to include into the CEF Customer Relationship Management (CRM) in order to engage those identified stakeholders in different targeted activities;
- To provide support to the CEF eInvoicing work programme;
- To support the organisation and provide input, where relevant, for the CEF eInvoicing implementation workshops;
- To provide suggestions for communication and dissemination channels for the CEF eInvoicing activities;
- To provide input for the CEF eInvoicing events, meetings and workshops to which CEF eInvoicing could;
- To become "Ambassadors" for the CEF eInvoicing Communications activities;
- To promote 'New Ways of Working' such as the use of CEF DIGITAL eInvoicing User Community.
How should the eInvoicing Pioneer Group be organised?
- CEF SMO will organise monthly meeting with the member of the eInvoicing Pioneer Group
- Fixed agenda loosely based on the points mentioned above
Who should be involved?
- Anyone with a role in eInvoicing should be free to join
- Motivated members should be invited from the following groups:
- 2017 Additional CEF eInvoicing contacts
- EMSFEI members
- Persons not yet known to CEF eInvoicing nominated by anyone from among our existing stakeholders.
Next steps:
