Topics • CEN WS/BII • What are we providing? • Usage of CEN/BII solutions • What about the future? • PEPPOL • PEPPOL-BIS ws. BII Profiles • Open PEPPOL • ePrior and Open e-PRIOR • What is UN/CEFACT doing?
The CEN WS/BII objectives • Business Interoperability Interfaces for Public Procurement in Europe – BII • Objectives of the work in BII “to provide a basic framework for interoperability in pan-European electronic transactions, expressed as a set of technical specifications that cross-refer to relevant activities, and in particular are compatible with UN/CEFACT - in order to ensure global interoperability.” • European Interoperability Framework ”the ability of information and communication technology (ICT) systems and of the business processes they support to exchange data and to enable the sharing of information and knowledge” BII European Interoperability Framework, version 2
Currently 25 organizations from 9 different countries directly registered as workshop participants These organizations have so far nominated some 90 experts to contribute to our work. Some key stakeholders: The stakeholders UN/CEFACT SIMPLE, TRANSPARENT AND EFFECTIVE PROCESSES FOR GLOBAL BUSINESS. WS/eInvoicing3 WS/eCAT WS/eBES EBIF
BII implements standards • The focus of BII is on collecting European requirements and to provide guidance for consistent implementation of existing international developments. International development/standard is doing the implementation Requirements Implementation guidelines is providingthe guidance User implementation
Our approach Goal A Profile is a technical specification describing: • the choreography of the business process(es) covered, • the electronic business transactions exchanged as part of the business process, • the information content of the electronic business transactions exchanged, and • the business rules governing the execution of that business process(es), its business collaborations and business transactions, as well as any constraints on information elements used. Requirements Validation Profile Syntax
BII addresses the whole eProcurement process • The specifications provided by BII support the whole procurement process • from publication of the Prior Information Notice through to the final Invoice. • Based on, and supports, relevant EU directives
CWA 16073:2010 • This CEN Workshop Agreement was made publically available in December of 2009. • It is available free of charge, at www.cen.eu/cwa/bii/specs. • The deliverables from BII have already been, or are in the process of being, implemented and tested in several projects and initiatives! • e-PRIOR • PEPPOL • Several national initiatives
Usage of BII • BII specifications can be implemented as is, but are also intended for further customization. Schematron PEPPOL CEN BII UBL 2.0 XML Schema

The future of BII Governance and life cycle management of the BII deliverables is needed – the question is how should it be organized? Tasks Alternatives Continue the existing CEN workshop Establishing a new CEN workshop Establish a CEN Technical Committee Establish a private market driven governance organization Move the work to an international level • Continued development in pre-award • Support and maintenance in post-award • Awareness and dissemination
A shared vision • PEPPOL and BII share the broader vision that any company (incl. SMEs) in the EU can communicate electronically with any EU governmental institution for all procurement processes. v • VCD • eCatalogue • eOrdering • eInvoicing
BII in PEPPOL • ”PEPPOL will deliver … Demonstrator software supporting public procurement processes… Implementing the results of the CEN/ISSS WS “Business Interoperability Interfaces on public procurement in Europe” (CEN BII)”, André Hoddevik, Project Director, PEPPOLat the PEPPOL Conference in Malmø, February 2010 • ”All you need to know is that the BII profiles exists”, Tim McGrath, Deputy WPM WP8
PEPPOL + BII = true • The timelines of PEPPOL and BII are synchronized so that BII will benefit from the lessons learned in PEPPOL before publishing the results from BII2. BII1 BII2 BII profiles Joint work Lesonslearned PEPPOL PoC Test pilot Production pilot Prod.

PEPPOL BIS • A PEPPOL BIS (Business Interoperability Specification) is a customization of a BII profile. • Focus on European cross border public procurement • Addressing some identified issues
From PEPPOL to OpenPEPPOL • The PEPPOL Project will close on August 31, 2012 • As from September 1 2012, the full responsibility for release policy and strategic direction of PEPPOL specifications and artifacts will be handed over from PEPPOL to OpenPEPPOL. • OpenPEPPOL AISBL • Non-profit international association under Belgium law • Long term sustainability through user driven governance • Continuation of legal agreement responsibilities
e-Prior is a software tool developed by the European Commission in order to provide electronic messaging capabilities for the Commission • Curently in roll-out • Open e-Prioris the open source version of e-Prior • Built in support for several BII profiles • Includes a PEPPOL Access Point
In a process of change • A new organizational structure has been implemented • 5 PDAs • Trade & Transport Facilitation • Supply Chain • Regulatory • Sectoral • Methodology & Technology • Bureau Program Support
A new technical framework is beeing shaped • Cohesive, simple, pragmatic and facilitative… and achievable • Foundational libraries • Coordination with ISO (and other SDOs) to provide supporting methodologies and technologies • Strengthening maintenance for UN/EDIFACT
