An overall analysis has been completed using research on IBM Europe, Ameriprise Financial, Terasen Pipelines, Shaw’s Supermarkets, CS Stars LLC, IBM, WORKSource Inc., and Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc.

Although there is a lot of third-party online billing/invoicing solutions available in the market these days, none of these can be entirely tailored to any one organization’s needs. For this reason, it must be worth spending a little time looking at whether a billing solution can be developed or built with internal accounting staff and IT people. This would mean that an exact specification could be put forward and, if it was executed to plan, this could be integrated with other internal systems. Once the system was up and running, customers would “flock” to it and the cost of sending out paper bills in the mail would reduce considerably. This would all have the potential to save a lot of money-wouldn’t it? In this article, we will look at the six major issues that need to be considered before choosing to go down this path.
