Digitisation & Digital Innovation

• Products & services: integration of ICT in all types of products and services (e.g. connected car, wearables or smart home appliances, etc.)

• Processes: for more productivity and resource efficiency

• Business models: re-shuffling value chains and blurring boundaries between products and services (e.g. co-creation, sharing, etc.)

Full end-to-end e-procurement can generate savings between 5 to 20%

Applying the "once-only" principle in the EU could generate an annual saving of around €5 billion

The digital by default strategy at EU28 level could result in around €10 billion of annual savings

Switching from paper to fully automated invoicing can cut the costs of receiving an invoice from 30-50 euro to 1 euro

E-procedures could reduce costs by yearly EUR 19 million for cross-border

businesses and EUR 810 million for domestic businesses
