What’s happening PEPPOL?

Am I speaking gibberish or just crazy?

No, I’m speaking the language of eInvoicing!

PEPPOL is a global way for accounting systems to avoid the entire email system as we know it and Xero are registering every business unless you opt out by 13th November.

Is this a new closed network that eliminates any invoice and bill paying spam? Yes, pretty much.

I remember teaching people how to use email when it first arrived in our lives in the late 1990’s and it is now the most common way to “authenticate” yourself as a real person.

It is also one of the most common ways to be scammed, spammed and phished!

I first wrote about PEPPOL when the Australian Government announced that they were adoption it – yes, it’s an Australian Government initiative, not a Xero Initiative. PEPPOL is the mechanism whereby you can get your invoice directly into the software of your client and I think it’s great.
