All NHS Trusts experience problems in exchanging financial documents such as purchase orders and
invoices with suppliers. Automating the Accounts Payable (AP) function by introducing an Electronic
Invoicing Presentment and Payment (EIPP) solution can eradicate many of these problems by eliminating
paper, reducing manual input and speeding up slow processes.

As experienced providers of EIPP solutions to healthcare organisations, Accountis is well aware of the
issues facing departments in the NHS today. Based on our experience we have selected four key
issues that project managers will need to address when writing a business case for EIPP. By discussing
each issue in turn we hope to illustrate how the Accountis EIPP system can help NHS Trusts to improve
efficiencies and enjoy a successful EIPP implementation.
