Slide 1: Project Task: Service Case #3 - Support for public e-procurement take up Notes : (1) - Business Registers Interoperability Throughout Europe Authors: piero.milani@infocamere.it gvbulow@adobe.com

Slide 2:Brite in eighteen words

BRITE aims at the establishment of a framework for the interoperability of the Business Registration Authorities in Europe. BRITE transforms and harmonises isolated administrative processes into cooperative and coordinated actions.

Slide 3:joining the eProc value-chain

BRITE identifies two primary phases of the eProcurement life cycle where a support action can take place: eTendering: allowing to the Tenderers a quick check of their official position, current status and the conditions necessary to the qualification eEvaluation: giving support to the Procurers during the assessment and evaluation processBRITE identifies two primary phases of the eProcurement life cycle where a support action can take place: eTendering: allowing to the Tenderers a quick check of their official position, current status and the conditions necessary to the qualification eEvaluation: giving support to the Procurers during the assessment and evaluation process

Slide 4:Brite strategy on eProc support

Focus on a Common Business Certificate/Dossier as the qualified informative package about a Business Entity Support the Tenderers to create and check their informative packages Support the Procurers (tendering Pas) to check and acquire data about the tenderers At national level (for �national� companies), with a direct link to the national Business Register and other Certifiers; At the European level (for �foreign� companies), with a link, again, to the national Business Register that �mediates� the interconnection with the �foreign� Business Register using the Brite Platform.

Slide 5:Brite vision of eProc macrosteps

BRITE will improve the �eEvaluation� process by defining a new information package that takes origin from different enquiries into different Certifiers� sites. The resulting reports are combined into a single container.BRITE will improve the �eEvaluation� process by defining a new information package that takes origin from different enquiries into different Certifiers� sites.

Slide 6:Brite support to eProcurement

BRITE Support to the eProcurement is based on a COOPERATIVE process that takes form by different end-points. Database access and information retrieval are just steps and tools for a process that requires active collaboration among different operators. i.e., the affected BRs. End-Users and beneficiaries are both TENDERERS and PROCURERS.BRITE Support to the eProcurement is based on a COOPERATIVE process that takes form by different end-points.

Slide 7:Brite �dossier� structure

CoverPage Section#1 Section#2 Section#3 Key to understanding this slide is the fact that PDF is a generic document container, i.e. much more than just a presentation format (which is a widely held belief). Underlying business data can be either embedded (e.g. in a form, where the data is validated and potentially determines the presentation format) or attached. In both cases, this data can be extracted for further use by automated processes.

Note that as well as certifying the whole package (i.e. the recipient has an assurance that the package has not been tampered with after the signature has been applied), individual components can also be signed by the respective contributing entities (e.g. the Business Register can only certify company registration data and accounts).

Slide 9:Simplified Information handling

Several INPUT formats Different availability date/time for Objects Records collected from the different sites managed by the �Certifiers� will potentially have a non homogeneous shape and format. The first task for the BRITE Dossier is to come to a simple/single format.Records collected from the different sites managed by the �Certifiers� will potentially have a non homogeneous shape and format.

Slide 10: dossier cover page

The �Cover Page� hosts the heading for the complete dossier. The �Composer� of the dossier can describe the process followed, how the information has been collected, the �Terms of Reference� of the agreements with the different �Certifiers�.The �Cover Page� hosts the heading for the complete dossier.

Slide 13: dossier content: section 2a

Section #2 hosts sort of evidences required to show the financial profile of the Tendering Company. In BRITE the primary source for this package section is represented by the filed Annual Accounts. Most of benefits will come from the use of AAs filed in the XBRL format. Section #2 hosts sort of evidences required to show the financial profile of the Tendering Company.

Slide 14: dossier: dynamic content

BRITE dossier takes form and content from the composer action. Non homogeneous input Records will get a normalised representation. XBRL represents the convergence point for every financial statement.

Slide 15: dossier: Tags substitution

XBRL moves into the �composer� tasks some interesting features: The separation from �Presentation Layouts� and the INPUT data. The option to make some TAGS replacement. Perform some VALIDATION over single elements Vs aggregated figures.XBRL moves into the �composer� tasks some interesting features: The separation from �Presentation Layouts� and the INPUT data.
