EU Tax Reporting/E-Invoices
It is mandatory that all Domestic B2B Invoices are uploaded to a secure portal. Governments are choosing XML as the default language for upload and download, for E-Invoices in the EU.
If Laserfiche is to be used for Account Payable going forward in the cloud, this would make Laserfiche an non viable product due to the XML not being supported in the cloud. When this is supported out of the box in On-Prem Workflow.
API Integrations
Although JSON is becoming more accepted as the default choice when it comes to API language choice, it still is not used by the bigger companies for instance SWIFT, and the banking platforms which you would need to integrate into.
