DHX Protocol offers a standardized and simple method for document exchange, benefiting all Estonian public sector organizations and companies with significant document exchange needs. The protocol aims to streamline operations, reduce costs, and ensure reliability. The roadmap includes protocol development, migration planning, and implementation over 2016-2018. Two business cases outline direct and representative modes of DHX usage, catering to different organizational requirements. The transition period involves technical setup, contract signing, and interface development. Further work includes profitability analysis and detailed migration planning.
