2. The 4-Corner Model for E-Invoice Exchange

The term "4-corner model" is bandied about throughout our community and it represents essential network topology concepts in document interchange interoperability. But not everyone has heard or has understood the term before. This roundtable session visually demonstrates for non-technical audiences the important principles of different network topologies and why the 4-corner model works so very well for the exchange of electronic invoices and other documents.
