The challenge of e-procurement and e-invoice
For the EU internally How to deal with many countries, many markets, many
requirements, many formats, many systems, many opportunities for simplification, many investments and many infrastructures
For the EU in the global marketplace How to ensure how EU ways forward are outward looking How to interface and open/extend opportunities for
access to markets outside the EU How to avoid duplication of effort

BII as an initiative to help achieve the Digital Single Market
Legislation and standards are the cornerstones of the Digital Single Market
BII focuses on systematic statement of requirements to foster implementations of e-procurement and e-invoice Building on existing standards Starting from technology-neutral principles Making sure that they are open for use within the EU and
within the global trading community Adaptable to a diversity of solutions and the principle of
subsidiarity within the EU For the global marketplace, the way forward relies on
consensus

BII is fostering the uptake of new technologies by facilitating semantic interoperability
Re-usable common semantics are the building blocks Re-usable semantic data models are the target Technology is the enabler
but it evolves and marches to independent tunes of innovation and infrastructure investments
CENWS/BII

Driving principle going forward
The uptake of new technologies is facilitated through a technology-neutral tool kit that fosters semantic interoperability: making use of common methodologies and standards for articulating requirements, re-usable common semantics, re-usable semantic data models and available syntax-bindings.

Identifying what still needs to be included and assisting in fostering implementations
BII deliverables are in operational use
CENWS/BIIVision and mission
The vision of the BII Workshop is that all organizations – independent of whether they are public or private and whatever their size and nationality - are enabled to conduct electronic business in an effective and efficient manner, significantly lowering costs for transaction processing.
The CEN WS/BII Workshop mission is to spread and facilitate the use of e-procurement standards by suppliers and buyers, and especially public administrations, by: identifying requirements (including legal) regarding e-procurement standards; providing a general framework for the organizational and semantic levels of
interoperability for the electronic procurement documents; supporting the implementation of commonly applied international e-
procurement standards; providing organizational support to ensure the governance and maintenance
for those requirements.

FOR GLOBAL BUSINESS.
Implementations, e.g.
The focus of BII is on collecting European requirements and to provide guidance for consistent implementation of existing international developments.
CENWS/BIIObjective of BII3
Continue the work initiated by CEN WS/BII, and further refined under CEN WS/BII 2, to support interoperability in electronic procurement and business.
Provide increased value to the BII user community by
1. Filling the gaps to ensure that all relevant aspects of e-procurement are covered
2. Facilitate increased use through capacity building
3. Securing the continued relevance of the BII deliverables by providing a focal point for governance and lifecycle management

CENWS/BIIScope of work
The focus of the workshop will still be the interoperability along the procurement process, with a B2G perspective, including where possible also a B2B perspective (which in the post-award is very close to B2G perspective).
