Pilot Implementations Workshop Tim McGrath, Deputy WPM WP8 Malmö, February 10th 2010
Who am I? • Presenting about a European project • But I am Australian • Discussing eProcurement • But I am a document engineer • Describing common standards for procurement information • But I speak only one language • Therefore… • I must be a consultant!

The PEPPOL project The PEPPOL project is the result of the European Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP) ICT Policy Support Programme (ICTPSP) 2007 Call for Proposals • Objective: Enabling EU-wide public eProcurement • A Large Scale Pilot focused on Interoperability (Pilot A) • Key actors: Member States or national authorised representatives • The outcome should be an open, common interoperable solution with results widely disseminated and available to all Member States • The EU contribution is up to 50% of costs for achieving interoperability • Coordinated by the Norwegian Agency for Public Management and eGovernment (Difi) • 14 beneficiaries from 8 countries • Total budget 19,6 M€ • 8 work packages, <900 person months and 6,6 M€ on sub-contractors • Project start up: 1 May 2008, duration 36 months

The PEPPOL Vision Any company (incl. SMEs) in the EU can communicate electronically with any EU governmental institution for all procurement processes. v Where are you?
Business requirements vary a lot • No agreed upon businesses processes • Huge difference in business models Barriers • High barriers in previous legislation • Member states implement directives differently • Different data models • Different coding systems • No common understanding • Incompatible technical solutions • Shared infrastructure components are missing Org A Org B
Mandate minimal business processes • Set-up a well defined governance process Addressing the barriers • Multilateral agreements • Loosen technical requirements • Align MS implementation of directives • Define mandatory set of data-elements • Promote common standards • Accept syntax mappings will co-exist • Mandate a transport standard • Establish and fund core infrastructure Org A Org B
PEPPOL will deliver... (I) • A secure, reliable and scalable European electronic transport infrastructure • Made for PEPPOL but generic in its nature – well suited also for other purposes • A market for middleware that enables easy connection between national infrastructures and the PEPPOL infrastructure • Demonstrator software supporting public procurement processes • Functioning open source software connected through the PEPPOL infrastructure • Implementing the results of the CEN WS ”Business Interoperability Interfaces in public procurement in Europe” (CEN BII) • Providing SMEs with tools to access the large European public procurement market • Basis for further development by European software industry
PEPPOL will deliver... (II) • Guidance and building blocks for connecting national e-procurement solutions to the PEPPOL infrastructure • Implementing the results of the CEN WS ”Business Interoperability Interfaces in public procurement in Europe” (CEN BII) • A methodology to encompass all Member States • Availability of demonstrator software + implementation support + funding = “starter kits” that can fulfil i2010 target of 100% availability of e-procurement solutions in Europe • Long term sustainability • Governance setup and transfer of responsibility for operations of centralised components to a relevant permanent organisational unit
Summary • Objectives of PEPPOL pilots • Identifying pilots, participants and processes • Post-award • Pre-award • Roles and responsibilities for pilot participants • PEPPOL business profiles • Plugging in to PEPPOL • Connecting the dots

Using the Transport Infrastructure • PEPPOL provides the Service Metadata Locator. • Currently exists at NITA in Denmark. • All Service Metadata Publisher providers must: • Register with the SML using an SMP Agreement. • All beneficiaries participating in post-award processes must ensure the provision of at least one Access Point for their community. • Beneficiaries only participating in pre-award processes may also need access to an Access Point. • Each Access Point Provider will need an Agreement with PEPPOL before the production pilot stage.
Transport Infrastructure Issues • Challenges: • Attracting technology providers (middleware, network providers, ERP developers) to create interfaces, SMP registries and access points • Governance issues: • Contractual obligations and service levels for service providers: • Access point Provider Agreement • Service Metadata Publisher Agreement • Transference after the pilots

eCatalogue (post-award) • Supplier needs to update their customer with information about their products: • “we have a price update on the blood analysis kit #25361” • Already have a contract to supply to the customer. • May need to classify “blood analysis kit #25361” using the customer’s product classification system.

PEPPOL Classification Template service • Contracting Authorities: • Link with on-line Registries(Product Property Servers) • Contract Template creation and submission to the chosen Supplier • Suppliers: • Download contract template • Mapping of existing Catalogues to the template • including integration linking to existing registries
Implementing eCatalogue Post-award -1 • Each pilot Contracting Authority needs to: • Identify a willing (cross border) supplier. • Receive an eCatalogue document following the rules and processes defined by CEN/BII for the specific profile they plan to use. • NB Post-award information may differ from pre-award • e.g. the number of properties defined for an item may vary
Implementing eCatalogue Post-award -2 • Each pilot supplier needs to be: • a legitimate supplier to the contracting authority. • able to create an eCatalogue document following the rules and processes defined by CEN/BII • for the specific profile they plan to use. • This may involve mapping the supplier’s products to the properties defined in the contracting authority’s template.
Implementing eCatalogue Post-award -3 • Document exchanges must be via the PEPPOL Infrastructure • Supplier must have connection to a PEPPOL Access Point • Contracting Authority must have connection to a PEPPOL Access Point
eOrdering • Customer has catalogue information and wants to buy products: • “we need 500 sets of blood analysis kit #25361” or perhaps that should be... • “nous voudrions acheter blood analysis kit #25361” ?? • Already have a contract with their supplier. Pilot Implementations Workshop

Implementing eOrdering - 2 • Each pilot supplier needs to be: • a legitimate supplier to the contracting authority. • able to receive an eOrder document following the rules and processes defined by CEN/BII • for the specific profile they plan to use.
Implementing eOrdering - 3 • Document exchanges must be via the PEPPOL Infrastructure • Supplier must have connection to a PEPPOL Access Point • Contracting Authority must have connection to a PEPPOL Access Point
Implementing eOrdering - 4 • eSignaturemay also be applied • Supplier must have a certified signature • Based on prior agreement between trading partners. • Contracting Authority can verify the signature
eOrdering Pilot Issues • Challenges: • Attracting suppliers wishing to participate in cross border pilots • Interfacing national procurement systems with PEPPOL Access points • Governance issues: • Maintenance of BII profiles • PEPPOL pilots may/will identify requirements for changes to BII profiles.
eInvoicing • Supplier has delivered the products and wants to be paid: • “500 sets of blood analysis kit #25361 cost DKK 100,000 ” • Already have a contract with their customer. • May (or may not) have received the order electronically. • May (or may not) wish to digitally sign their invoice. • by mutual agreement Pilot Implementations Workshop

Implementing eInvoicing • Each pilot supplier party needs to be: • a legitimate supplier to the contracting authority. • able to create an eInvoice document following the rules and processes defined by CEN/BII • For the specific profile they plan to use. • Agree on XML syntax • Documents will be relayed via the PEPPOL Infrastructure
eInvoicing Pilot Challenges Attracting suppliers wishing to participate in cross border Pilots Interfacing national procurement systems with PEPPOL Access points Mapping BII profiles to national formats Legislative differences on EU directives for taxation and evidence
eInvoicing Pilot Governance • Maintenance of BII profiles • PEPPOL pilots will identify requirements for changes to BII profiles • a suitable governance mechanism needs to accommodate these changes. • Revised archiving and auditing processes may be required
