The environmental benefit is combined with
simplified procedures and reduced costs

Besides the fact that the shift to electronic
invoicing is beneficial for Telenor Norway it is also
an example of how other companies can take
advantage of technological solutions. Electronic
invoicing can reduce the negative impact on the
environment while simplifying the administrative
work on the part of both sender and receiver.
Fewer postal consignments implies that the
sender can save costs related to printing and
postage. Invoice recipients may in turn simplify
their internal handling of invoices, which is often
a time-consuming process.
