The eDelivery Value Proposition Webinar

1

Have you ever wondered how modern technology can transform the way businesses and public administrations exchange data and documents? With over 100 participants in attendance, the recent eDelivery webinar held on 28 September took us on a captivating journey into the world of eDelivery. From its history dating back to 2014 to its robust, mature solutions today, eDelivery offers a versatile approach to data exchange, enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring security. You do not have to believe us: listen to the people sharing their experience of using eDelivery!


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.
