NemHandel is a Danish e-invoicing infrastructure, developed by the National IT and Telecom Agency and launched in 2007.[1] NemHandel is based on open standards (including the Universal Business Language, Reliable Asynchronous Secure Profile (RASP),[2] and UDDI), open source components, and digital certificates. It was launched as part of a Danish Government Globalisation initiative in 2005[3] under the auspices of Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
The public sector in Denmark receives more than 15 million electronic invoices every year from approximately 150,000 suppliers. Non-electronic invoices for a public sector institution will be rejected. There are more than 30,000 public sector e-invoicing end points. An end point can be everything from a municipality to a kindergarten or even a department within a public sector institution. End points are addressed via Global Location Numbers or via Company Registration Numbers (called CVR-numbers in Denmark).
History[]
NemHandel was mandated by law in February 2005.[citation needed] The initial version was based on traditional Electronic data interchange (EDI) methods in combination with an early version of Universal Business Language.[citation needed] The current version of NemHandel was launched in 2007 and is based on modern internet technologies.[citation needed]
Architecture[]
NemHandel is an example of the 4-Corner Model for interoperability between service providers. This model is best known from the telephony industry where Telco-operators interoperate by roaming traffic between each other. The advantage of this model is that any party in a transaction can switch provider seamlessly without having to notify the other parties with whom they exchange business documents.[citation needed]
