Interoperability between service providers helps invoice senders and receivers who employ the services of different service providers, by facilitating the exchange of invoices through a network of interconnected parties. The MIA provides for a standardized bilateral agreement for use by service providers with their chosen service provider partners. It supports a number of legal compliance frameworks such as digital signatures, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and business controls, and creates a harmonized environment based on standards.
The European E-invoicing Service Providers Association (EESPA) was established on 6 November 2011 and its key objectives include promoting interoperability and the creation of an interoperable eco-system, advocating and supporting the wide adoption of e-invoicing, representing the industry, engaging in public policy debate and recommending best practice within appropriate European forums, as well as providing services to its members. As a trade association for the e-Invoicing industry, EESPA acts as a platform for industry cooperation on non-competitive issues.
