Injustice to EIPP/e-invoicing - lack of coverage
Apologies for the lack of recent coverage on eipp/e-invoicing. Thought leadership cannot be provided without undertaking adequate research. Wouldn’t it be great if document/information search time can be reduced. This is one of the reasons why ...
OB10 - A classic mistake!
OB10 is no stranger to making classic mistakes with it’s web strategy. How do you manage expectations of local communities whilst pursuing a global strategy? Perhaps the best example is to learn from HSBC - the world’s local bank. At the ...
ebdex is dead!
ebdex was formed on 25th Nov 2004 with the idea of disrupting the EIPP market dominated by Accountis and OB10. To be fair, OB10 and Accountis had very low market penetration then (and same is true now). But they were the best examples an ambitious st...
OB10 - Get ready for some real global competition
Up to now, the e-invoicing market has been dominated by OB10 due to their global expansion strategy, but this is soon to be threatened by a new M&A deal between two players I have come to respect. I cannot go into detail at present without breach...

Latest to join the e-invoicing startups to be funded by Venture Capitalists is TBiConnect run by Simon Fox. Both OB10 and Burns e-Commerce top the VC funding tables for attracting the most cash to date. Among other funded companies include Accountis ...
Will I ever complete my analyst report on OB10?
I started preparing a detailed analyst report on OB10 in September 07. Unfortunately, very few manhours were spent with the end result being an incomplete report. Perhaps, the best way to achieve the end goal is to break it down to bite sizes, just l...
Review of Bruno’s latest e-invoicing Quarterly…
Without a doubt, Bruno is the master of e-invoicing in Europe if not the world. His e-invoicing Quarterly is a much anticipated update of the e-invoicing market. Whilst I have hoped to do something similar for the UK market, I must admit, I am less o...
The International Problem
I read recently that it take the average British citizen 40 days to get a Visa to the United States. 40 days! England, our time honored ally pretty much since the end of the War of 1812, a country that speaks the same language, has heavier-handed pri...
Next-Generation Financial Tools and the Rise of Expectations
I spent a little while today discussing web-based auto-enrollment payments in the credit and collections industry, as well as what we call the “Payment Tsar” and the “Payment Quotient.” While I was doing so, it occured to me t...

Transcepta #3 - Going from strength to strength - community of 12,500 users
It’s good to hear that Transcepta is going from strength to strength, servicing the needs of more than 12,500 companies in such a short time, proving that there is a real market for a simple product offering on EIPP. It’s a great story,...
OB10 #8 - Ready to be acquired!
According to VentureCast, a production of Library House, one of the most accessed companies recently is none other than OB10. The company profile from VenturePedia (another production of Library House) can be downloaded for ?50 from...
CheckFree #1 - Fiserv to Acquire CheckFree
Over the last year, we noticed two key acquisitions in the EIPP and Payments space, these being purchase of Xign by JP Morgan and purchase of Harbor Payments by American Express. Recently, I had lunch with a US Company looking for an acquisition in...
Abbey’s Supplier Payments #2 - The A Team
Whilst there has been much talk, I believe Abbey is the second company to offer a supply chain finance solution in the UK after GMAC Commercial Finance, which uses Deskom. Between the two propositions, I believe Abbey has the best chance of maki...
OB10 #7 - OB10 teams up with GXS
On 19 July 2007, OB10 and GXS announced a partnership to build an integrated e-invoicing solution. Few years ago, perhaps this would not have happened. XML was going to rule the world - EDI was dead, they said. Today, the level of market penetration...
