11:15 AM E-Invoicing in 2026: Why Local Fixes Create Global Problems

Global e-invoicing mandates are gaining speed in 2026 - but how companies will respond varies wildly. While local rollouts might seem easier to manage, they often introduce hidden costs: duplicated work, inconsistent data, and endless IT rework.

This session unpacks why local-first strategies slow you down, how they impact core systems like ERP and billing, and what global leaders are doing differently. If your e-invoicing rollout plan looks more like a checklist than a business strategy, it might be time to rethink.

What you’ll learn:

- Which countries to watch in 2026 - and what makes them tricky

- How local implementations create data and process sprawl

- Why choose scalable templates over tactical fixes

- Where global strategies save cost (and headaches) long term

- What smart integration looks like across O2C and P2P
