I am proud to announce that edocr has been chosen by webmission08 as one of the 20 most promising UK digital startups to visit San Francisco in April 08. I have known this for a while, but was not allowed to speak in public until TechCrunch broke the news. I see this as a win […]
Barcamp Manchester – Inaugural event
I attended Barcamp Manchester on 1st of March 08, and here are couple of pictures thanks to flickr. BarcampManchester had been a subject regularly discussed at North West Digital Communities meetings. Until Paul Robinson took over, they remained just talks. Paul made BarcampManchester happen! Well done mate! Here are some of the blog posts […]
OpenCoffee Manchester is no more!
I am proud to have brought OpenCoffee to the North. First Manchester and then requesting Dean Sadler and Phil Blything to run Sheffield and Liverpool respectively. At the time, Imran Ali was thinking about running the same in Leeds. I convinced him to set the schedule for 1st Tuesday of the month. Manchester OpenCoffee never […]
Cracking the e-invoicing conundrum – finally!
Further to my previous post, I believe I cracked the conundrum attached to e-invoicing today! Now, do not get too excited, as I have not decided whether I am going to do anything about it. Most likely, I will park it for the time being. But let’s explore what the problem is in the first […]
Once bitten, the e-invoicing bug remains forever
Let me first clarify what I meant by e-invoicing here. It is not about scanning and OCRing paper invoices with tight integration of accounts payable systems. It is about connecting disparate finance and procurement systems seamlessly, so that an electronic document (purchase-to-payment and supply-to-cash) from one system flows automatically to another system owned by the […]

Birth of evigon Ltd
I created evigon with two thoughts in mind, these being: Provide a vehicle for my advisory and consultancy activities Allow other services to be provided through a flexible entity It is very early days to write too much about evigon, but I hope I will have some news to share shortly.

ebdex is dead!
ebdex was formed on 25th Nov 2004 with the idea of disrupting the EIPP market dominated by Accountis and OB10. To be fair, OB10 and Accountis had very low market penetration then (and same is true now). But they were the best examples an ambitious startup could look upon. Causeway’s Tradex and Burns e-Commerce’s Bex […]
Birth of eveo Ltd
As you very well know, I have been running events for the Digital StartUp Community in the North of England for over 15 months. Whilst these events hardly make any commercial sense, I am convinced that they can grow to become a worth while business over time. In order to achieve this, the business of […]
