From one way reporting to two-way communication

Electronic PO box for post and messages from public authorities to businesses and private citizens

In June 2005 all private citizens and every Norwegian company were given their own electronic PO box in Altinn.

The functionality for electronic dialogue was the most significant development in Altinn last year. However –the great increase in dialogue transactions is predicted for this year…

– Jeg er strålende fornøyd med Altinn. Nå har jeg mye mer tid til å tenke butikk fremfor å fylle ut skjemaer.

– Uten Altinn ville alternativet vært å engasjere et regnskapsbyrå, eller kanskje til og med ansette en ekstra person. Uansett; begge alternativene ville spist grovt av bunnlinjen.

– Jeg mener Altinn bidrar til at små bedrifter øker sjansen til å greie seg. Ikke minst i oppstartsfasen hvor all tid bør gå til å få butikken i gang.

Daglig leder Willy Johannessen, QBADaglig leder Willy Johannessen, QBA

– ”I am very pleased with Altinn. Now I can focus on running my business rather than filling in forms.”

– ”Without Altinn I would probably have to hire an accountant, or even an extra employee. Anyway; either alternative would have become a large expense item in my accounts.”

– ”I believe that Altinn is a contributor to make small businesses a success. Especially in the early phase when most of the energy has to be directed to the actual running of the business.”
