Why We Use Standards • Fundamental to establishing agreements on business collaboration are standards • Using standards creates certainty… • and certainty enables trust • Using standards promotes interoperability • Sharing information across communities • Using standards promotes effectiveness • Re-use of software • Implement solutions faster • Scalable • ‘open’ standards provide for independent governance • Long term sustainability • Security of investment
Benefits of EIPP Standards • Reduced implementation costs • Both among and within enterprises • Through the reuse of common components • Greater choice of commercial software • Generic, lower cost data input and output tools • A standard target for off-the-shelf business software • Standardized training resulting in many skilled workers • An easier learning curve because implementers need master just one format • Reduced effort of integration • Simplified interfaces to services • Lower cost of entry • Allows adoption by smaller enterprises • Enables critical mass of adoption
What is the EIPP Standards Advisory Board? The Ocean Freight Industry EIPP Standards Advisory Board was established in 2010 and includes executives representing the leading ocean carriers and their customers.

Purpose • Provide an independent, collaborative forum for, and driven by,industry participants • Shape electronic invoicing for the ocean freight industry • Create standards for business process and data exchange Mission Statement “Our mission is to lead the ocean freight industry, as a community, towards greater efficiency in Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment through standardization and automation.”

EIPP SAB Charter • A initial Charter was developed by founding members • This defines the basic constitution of the group • A copy of the Charter is available upon request • Your organization has agreed to this.
Basic Operating Principles • Facilitate discussions to reach decisions that benefit the industry • Fast moving, collaborative environment • Focus on results within bounds of Charter • Publish two to three industry EIPP standards as early as possible • Staff leadership positions with proactive individuals that can dedicate time to the initiatives • Adapt existing standards before designing new • Suggest enhancements to existing standards
Why Participate in an EIPP Standardization Initiative? The cost of doing nothing… • Increasing variation in your processes over time • Increased competence requirements requiring more training and slower on-boarding of staff • Limited reuse of IT components, with resulting sub-optimisation of investments • Slow and inefficient execution on EIPP partnering, as all integrations are new “greenfield projects”
Why Participate in an EIPP Standardization Initiative? Plus… • Industry standards are being jointly developed and adopted by carriers (billers) and their customers (payers) • There is a commitment from members to support the standards developed • Member organizations can chooseto use the standards or not • Your organization can influencestandards used by the industry • Excellent networking opportunities
