3 The PEPPOL sustainability roadmap

4 Purpose of OpenPEPPOL (I) The purpose of OpenPEPPOL is to enable European businesses to easily deal electronically with any European public sector buyers in their procurement processes, thereby increasing opportunities for greater competition for government contracts and giving better value for tax payers money, to encourage new and innovative ICT services and to simplify access to larger markets for suppliers (especially small or medium sized enterprises). It will do this by: 1. Striving to set widely accepted technology standards and specifications (hereinafter referred to as PEPPOL-specifications ) for dealing electronically with any European public sector buyers in their procurement processes. 2. Providing the authoritative point of reference for networks of interoperable, PEPPOL-compliant infrastructure and the organisations that use it. Page 4

5 Purpose of OpenPEPPOL (II) 3. Ensuring the Long term sustainability of the PEPPOL-infrastructure networks and user communities. 4. Ensuring the Long term sustainability of the PEPPOL-interoperability specifications, building blocks and related artefacts. 5. Promoting and supporting the ever-wider use of the PEPPOL-interoperability specifications, building blocks and related artefacts. Business to business use of the PEPPOL-compliant infrastructure and use of PEPPOL-components in other areas than procurement is also recognised as important and will be encouraged by the Association. Use of these items outside of Europe should also be possible. Page 5
