Is Finland a “backwater” in electronic invoicing?
October 27, 2010 — PlanMillWe all know that e-billing, e-invoicing, or eInvoice has a positive impact on the environment due to its being paperless by nature (Wikipedia). Significantly, the shift from paper billing to electronic invoicing nowadays is also widely accepted internationally by consumers and the business community with 77% of business owners favoring electronic billing (Kiplinger).
Here’s the bad news
A report by Finland’s leading business daily Kauppalehti last Tuesday revealed however that Finnish companies and consumers do not adequately take advantage of electronic invoicing and are considerably worse than the European average. “The popularity of e-invoicing in Finland is significantly lower than in many other European countries. For British companies, nearly 90 percent are able to send electronic invoices to their clients. In Estonia, the figure is 82, Denmark 68 and Germany 60 percent. In Finland, the corresponding figure is only 44 per cent.”
Findings emerged from a survey commissioned by Itella involving 16 countries from Europe, over 9 000 consumers, and 4 765 business decision-makers (Source in Finnish: “Suomi on takapajula – tälläkin mittarilla“)
…and some good news!
Do you need to save time, money, and space with an effective e-invoicing service? Does your company urgently need a streamlined way to manage quote-to order-to-bill process?

Stories about Social Media ROI abound online, so here’s a few succinct points on how business-to -business high technology companies achieve results.
“People aren’t going to join a group to hear about your company, but will actively join groups that focus on specific topics that interest them.”
Lessons Learned by Kim Cornwall Malseed:
- Social media must be ingrained in a company’s culture, it’s not just a strategy
- Social media won’t be effective without a very strong content strategy
- Before venturing into social media: Have a plan for how to deal with people making negative comments about you, company, or organization so everyone knows who will respond and what actions to take (and not take). Be ready, be quick to respond, and be genuine but recognize there will always be people that will never be happy no matter what you do. Deal with the “haters” respectfully but focus on those who are positive in order to establish and build a following. Train employees taking part on behalf of company on how to use tools (Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, blogs, etc.) and guidelines for type of content to share and how to interact with prospects, customers, partners, and others
- When providing content to several different communities, offer exclusive access to some content to one community for a limited time, and exclusive access to other content to another community for a limited time, in order to achieve higher perceived value and keep people engaged long-term
- “Happy accidents” are common when experimenting with social media, don’t be afraid to try and test new ideas.
“The digital world is all about 0′s and 1′s. You are either ARE or you ARE NOT. And in my opinion, it is better to be than not to be.” Anssi Vanjoki EVP Nokia Markets in Conversation is the New Conversion.
