Wouldn't it be great...
Wouldn't it be great if you could receive your phone bill, electricity bill, bank statement, and any other kind of invoice or statement, by email. Wouldn't it be great if once you receive your invoice you could transfer it to your accounting system. Wouldn't it be great if you could send your customers your invoice, and they could pay it electronically once they receive it. I see a future where most paper documentation is replaced by Internet Standard Documents, and we can all send business documents as easily as we do with email today.

With the rise of the Internet email has now become a required part of business. A vast majority of businesses, and a huge number of consumers have access to email and the Internet. What is surprising is that despite this revolution in communication a vast majority of companies still send physical invoices and bills to each other and to their customers.

This projects primary goal is to introduce a method of transmitting business documents between different organizations without a requirement to coordinate the format of documents prior to transmission. In other words, you can send an invoice without the worry of the receipient not being able to import the invoice.
