E-Invoices.ae is a blog dedicated to e-invoicing in the UAE. My name is Markos Brotzakis and I have been working on EDI and e-invoicing projects since 1992. More about myself you can find in About Myself.
The aim of this blog is to share my experience gained from a number of Peppol and non-Peppol e-invoicing projects in Europe, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.
Here you can find what is e-invoicing, what is the legal framework, what are the implementation dates, how to setup your project and align your organisation, how to select an Accredited Service Provider, how to implement e-invoicing and how to mitigate risks.
Have a look inside and if you have questions, feel free to contact me.
It is FREE.
