Electronic Billing and Back-up Storing
Electronic Billing is not about sending invoices via e-mail (which by the way must be also provided on paper copy). According to Italian law (Feb. 20th 2004 n. 52) a new innovative invoicing scheme has been introduced. This allows the dematerialization the entire lifecycle of an invoice, from its issuing to electronic storage. It must be possible to assess issuing date, origin and content integrity in order to consider it a valid electronic invoice.
Bip. Solutions
Bip. has started an observatory on Electronic Billing and Back-up Storing, aiming at:

  • Assessing the diffusion of commercial cycle integration models and electronic billing and back-up storing models in Italy

  • Estimating potential benefits for the country deriving from the aforementioned models

  • Collecting main evidences in terms of organizational approaches, with specific reference to the management of projects and complexity, both internal and external

  • Running a gap analysis with other countries, analyzing critical success factors at a systemic level which are enablers for electronic billing

  • To monitor the evolution of law frameworks and of the main standardization projects, both in Italy and abroad.

Billing Integrity
For both goods and services firms, the billing cycle is a channel that can significantly impact customer satisfaction. Bip. has over time consolidated its experience in the assessment and removal of the structural causes of mistaken charging/invoicing, in the industries where it operates as a business consultancy firm. In its various projects Bip has demonstrated that it is possible to spot many improvement areas charging and billing processes and systems, focused on invoicing service's quality improvement.
Bip. Solutions
Bip. considers charging and billing as a convergence point for multiple operating business processes, and searches in this very "extended domain" the potential improvement areas. Basic condition for correctness and rapidity of billing is a proper engineering and execution of the activities carried out in such domain, identifying and evaluating potential solutions over three dimensions: architectures, processes and organization.

  • Design of supporting processes

  • Architecture and design of the solutions
