“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” George Orwell (http://www NULL.brainyquote NULL.com/quotes/authors/g/george_orwell NULL.html) I do not think anyone share that sentiment from Orwell’s Animal farm. But are we accidentally triggering a behavior that make the above look like a rather horrible reality? In our work life we all share one common need – no matter what position we have – and that is: TO FIND [...]

Why e-invoice at all? First we need to figure out if and why e-invoicing may be a potential “cash-cow” (for Banks?), “Money-saver” (for Corporates?) and “new-basic-electronic-demand” (for Consumers?). Based on experience, a corporation can save about one to two percent of its sales per year by switching from traditional invoice processing to e-invoicing. One can exemplify it by separating some of the incoming and outgoing invoices, as issuer of invoices you can make a saving [...]

Många företag har idag stort kostnadsfokus med tuffa besparingsmål och effektiviseringar, men vill även hitta sätt att öka intäktsströmmarna. Den klassiska RIK-modellen, baserad på såväl forskning som empirisk vetenskap, är mer aktuell än någonsin. Kortsiktigt gäller att lyfta ut kostnader genom att spara på exempelvis lokaler eller personal samt effektivisering genom konsolideringar. Långsiktigt ska även affärerna växa, exempelvis genom mobila lösningar. Banker pratar i hög utsträckning om förflyttningen från ”transaktionsbank till relationsbank”.
