THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS IS OPEN
20.000.000 SMALL BUSINESSES IN EUROPE
EXCHANGE 15.000.000.000 INVOICES EACH YEAR
COSTING 64.000.000.000€ IN TIME SPENT ON TYPING AND RETYPING INFORMATION INTO IT-SYSTEMS
BUT IT STILL COSTS
100€ FOR A SMALL BUSINESS TO SEND 100 INVOICES TO A LARGE SUPPLIER USING “ELECTRONIC INVOICING”
HOW CAN ONE ELECTRONIC MESSAGE COST 1€ IN 2010?
80% of suppliers are paper-‐based
(20 million in Europe)
20% Are connected using
EDI or B2B providers like
OB10
Supply chain lock-‐in, top-‐down push = increased cost, low supplier saIsfacIon (but cost reducIon, on paper…)
The long tail of paper
Less than 50.000 companies globally HAVE BEEN
SHAPING WHAT BUSINESS PROCESSES LOOK LIKE FOR MORE THAN 100 MILLION GLOBAL SMALL BUSINESS
Nobody wins Small business remain stuck on
paper
Large business can only cover a fraction of their supply chain using brute force
Software developers cannot build “networked” applications, because of the b2b toll-gates
WE BELIEVE THERE IS A BETTER WAY
80% of suppliers are paper-‐based
(23 million in Europe)
20% Are connected using
EDI or B2B providers like
OB10
BoLom-‐up growth = viral, small business focused, open ecosystem (cost saving for real, loyalty building)
The long tail of paper
LARGE ENTERPRISES WILL INVITE
250.000 SMALL BUSINESS TO START USING, OPEN, COLLABORATIVE AND FREE BUSINESS PROCESSES ON TRADESHIFT IN THE NEXT 10 MONTHS
SO WHERE ARE WE GOING IN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS?
