I have been ranting about EIPP for 16 months now. Perhaps worth listening to few other folks about what they have to say about my favourite subject: Michael Lamoureux of Sourcing Innovation Ariba + Orbian = ? Increase Competitiveness using Supply Chain Finance The Importance of Supply Chain Finance Technology The Supply Chain Finance Movement […]

I have been looking for an opportunity to use these three pictures I took of James when we both attended SAP Sapphire 07 in Vienna in May 07. James is a cool chap well respected in the software industry for his no-nonsense vendor analysis. So, why am I talking about James now? I am in […]

So what is the general plan after Causeway? Ideally, I like to spend 50% on fee earning work and the remainder on projects. So what are these projects? edocr – we will soon be looking for 100 volunteers to test the alpha version. If you are interested in helping us, please register your interest at […]

My current contract with Causeway Technologies will soon come to an end. By then, I would have spent four months with Causeway’s Tradex, asking awkward questions and getting people out of the comfort zone. Tradex now has a tactical team as well as a strategic team. The tactical team is led by Dave Gilchrist, Managing […]

Whilst there has been much talk, I believe Abbey is the second company to offer a supply chain finance solution in the UK after GMAC Commercial Finance, which uses Deskom. Between the two propositions, I believe Abbey has the best chance of making an impact. I have not heard or seen much publicity of Deskom and GMAC’s […]

Causeway Technologies is currently running a programme to roll out Tradex, their e-invoicing presentment (EIP) platform to Alfred McAlpine’s supply chain. Whilst the benefits of products such as Tradex is well documented, running a supply chain roll out is not as easy as one makes it out to be. This is a long drawn out process […]

Yesterday, I had the pleasure to speak to Marcus Hughes of Abbey UK Corporate Banking, and learn bit more about the solution they have brought to market jointly with OB10. Abbey calls this reverse factoring. Let’s review the business process: Supplier sends the invoice to buyer through OB10 e-invoicing platform. I assume everyone knows how […]

Just to let you know that I am experimenting with a new page titled “News”, which tracks Google News on “EIPP” and “e-invoicing”. There is not much value addition here, as you can set this yourself. But it will help me to find stories easily. In the past, I have received news releases directly from OB10, […]
