GOVEIN19| EDICOM Innovation Projects

The objective of this activity is to ensure compliance with the CEF requirements, through actions such as providing technical assistance to the consortium participants, coordinating the communication between the beneficiaries and INEA (Innovation and Networks Executive Agency), as well as applying quality assurance procedures in accordance with the agreements established with the European Commission.

This activity will consist in the adaptation of an eInvoicing solution and the development of the ERP software for 11 public hospitals (6 from Hungary, 3 from Belgium, 1 from Portugal and 1 from Poland) and in 4 Healthcare private entities (2 Hungarian providers, 2 Belgian private hospitals), allowing them to receive and process electronic invoices in accordance with the EN standard. The context of each Member State will be analyzed to prepare the most suited implementation. These hospitals will operate through the platform hosted in the B2B cloud of EDICOM and the intercommunication tests for the cross-border exchange of electronic invoices will be done through the PEPPOL network (EDICOM is a PEPPOL AS4 Access Point). The implementations will be submitted to conformance tests to ensure compliance with the requirements established in the Call through the CEF eInvoicing Building Block and Directive 2014/55/​​EU of eInvoicing.

The activity's objective is to carry-out the final tests for all implementations of the consortium, ensuring interoperability, compliance to the EN16931 and promoting collaboration among beneficiaries for the cross-border transactions and for concluding the conformance tests.

It will consist of two important tests: Interoperability Tests and CEF eInvoicing Conformance Tests. To complete the Interoperability Tests, each partner will demonstrate that its eInvoicing solution is ready to receive and to process European Standard (EN) compliant eInvoices. On the other hand, CEF eInvoicing Conformance Testing service aims to verify that the implementations made by each partner is conformant to the eInvoicing specifications.

The dissemination campaign aims at communicating the project, its outcome, as well as the benefits of electronic invoicing to the widest audience possible. It consists of the creation of an official website, the use of social networks like Twitter and LinkedIn, publication of project-related content on the participants websites, newsletters and direct mailing, as well as holding events such as conferences and meetings.
