By the way, it's worth noting that EQT and Thama Bravo are quite comparable, although Thama Bravo has a stronger emphasis on enterprise software compared to EQT. While EQT also operates in the enterprise software domain, they have a more diverse portfolio, including e-commerce and payment services, such as Klarna. Thama Bravo, on the other hand, is more narrowly focused on enterprise software. Despite their similarities, there's still competition between these private equity firms.

The Future of Invoicing in Europe: A Step Towards Efficiency As Europe moves forward with digital transformation, the adoption of eInvoices is gaining traction. Countries like Italy have already implemented this system, which not only conserves resources but also saves companies significant costs traditionally associated with manual invoice creation. This shift represents a critical step towards efficiency in business operations. I’ve already had conversations with a variety of companies on this topic, but many remain hesitant due to the legal obligations tied to eInvoice mandates. However, the ROI is evident – and can be realized quickly, even before the mandatory deadline for adopting the system. A small but promising player in this space is Anybill, a Germany-based company that offers a similar solution for B2C transactions. With such innovations, we are seeing a glimpse of how digital tools can streamline processes and enhance both business and customer experiences. #eInvoice #DigitalTransformation #B2C #CostSavings #Innovation #Europe #ROI #finance #banking #retail #anybill I’d love to hear your thoughts and plans on this topic.
