WIL, Switzerland, March 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Organisations can save the equivalent of 1-2% of their turnover by replacing paper invoices and optimising the related processes. Compared to traditional paper-based systems, electronic and automated invoice processes can generate savings of 50-80%. Consequently, the payback period on e-Invoicing projects can be as short as six months.

In 2011, approximately 5 million European invoice issuers and 75 million recipients are expected to exchange more than three billion electronic invoices. In the past, e-Invoicing was often initiated by large enterprises or the public sector. These days, however, a wide variety of efficient e-Invoicing solutions are available for small and medium-sized enterprises, which is one of the reasons for why strong and sustainable growth rates of 30-35% have been predicted for the coming years.
