Modernizing Global e-Invoicing Compliance with IBM B2B Integration SaaS 

A Secure, Automated Future for Compliance-Driven Enterprises 
 

The New Era of Digital Invoicing 

As global tax regulations tighten and digital transformation accelerates, enterprises are under increasing pressure to modernize how they exchange and manage invoices. Traditional EDI systems, while foundational, often fall short in agility, automation, and regulatory adaptability. 

IBM Sterling B2B Integration SaaS with e-Invoicing provides a cloud-native, enterprise-grade solution that seamlessly integrates automation, security, and global compliance into a single, powerful, and scalable platform. 

From Paper to Protocols: The Evolution of e-Invoicing 

 
IBM Sterling e-Invoicing supports both B2B and B2G invoicing, including formats like Peppol, Facturae, FatturaPA, and India’s IRP, helping enterprises stay compliant in over 60 countries.

IBM Sterling e-Invoicing is designed for zero-trust architecture and industry-grade security: 

  • TLS 1.2+ encryption

  • Country-specific modules (e.g., SDI, IRP, NFe, CFDI) 

This means maximum protection with minimal risk, even in highly regulated industries.

  • B2B protocols and APIs for real-time automation 

The result: 

  • Fewer invoice disputes 

  • Shorter DSO (Days Sales Outstanding) 

  • Faster partner onboarding 

  • End-to-end visibility 

 

Real-World Success: Retailer Solves EU + LATAM Compliance

  • Comply with FatturaPA, NFe, and Factura Electrónica 

  • Integrate SAP and Oracle invoices across regions 

  • Automate submission and acknowledgment flows 

  • Centralize compliance monitoring 

Results:

IBM’s e-Invoicing services offer unmatched scale:

This ensures global growth without local regulatory compromise.
