EESPA re-elects Basware CEO Esa Tihilä as Chair
Tihilä will chair the trade association for a large community of e-invoicing
service providers for the third 2-year term
ESPOO, Finland, 3 December, 2015 - At its recent Annual General Meeting, Esa
Tihilä, CEO of Basware, the leading provider of e-invoicing and purchase-to-pay
solutions, was re-elected as Chair of the European E-Invoicing Service Providers
Association (EESPA). At the same time, Marcus Laube, Managing Director of
crossinx, was elected as Co-Chair.
As a measure to strengthen the association's operational management, Charles
Bryant, formerly Co-Chair, was appointed to the new position of Secretary
General of EESPA.
EESPA acts as a trade association at European level for a large community of e-
invoicing service providers which are its members. EESPA encourages and drives
the adoption of e-invoicing and works to support the vision and implementation
of public policy towards compliant e-invoicing.
"The adoption and awareness towards e-invoicing have increased significantly
over the recent years, and a critical mass of e-invoicing has already been
reached in several countries. This has been well supported by those e-invoicing
service providers, which support an operator-driven model, ease of use of e-
invoicing, performant technologies, as well as the Business to Government (B2G)
e-commerce initiatives that are being increasingly encouraged and mandated
across the world," said Esa Tihilä, CEO of Basware.
"Interoperability, harmonization of standards and e-invoicing 'go-to-market'
approaches continue to be the focus areas for EESPA. EESPA has made considerable
progress over the past years in terms of building both membership and
governance. We will need to continue to influence policy makers, industry
analysts and influencers, provide an accurate picture of our industry
capabilities, and increase awareness to accelerate the adoption of e-invoicing,"
added Marcus Laube, Managing Director of crossinx.
EESPA was formed in 2011 as an international not-for-profit association to be a
strategic asset for its members delivering industry leadership, influence and a
framework of support. It acts as a trade association at a European level for a
large and dynamic community of e-invoicing service providers, drawn from
organisations that provide network, business outsourcing, financial, technology,
and EDI (electronic data interchange) services. With its current over 60 full
and associate members, EESPA focuses on public policy issues, the creation of an
interoperable eco-system and championing the widespread adoption of e-invoicing
for the benefit of economic efficiency and growth. Based on a recent membership
survey, participating members processed around 1 billion electronic invoices in
2014.
