61 and inhabitants offer more beneficial conditions of use of e-services compared to traditional ways of receiving services (e.g., reduced service reception time, the lower state fees, etc.), etc. With the development of the ICT options and usage, also geodesy and mapping industries have been developing, creating an entirely new approach and methods of information retrieval, processing and use. This industry-related geospatial information mainly is created in an electronic environment; thus, this information becomes available in the form of e-services. The development geospatial information in the country should be continued in order to provide geospatial information processing, access and utilisation opportunities for the wide range of public which would provide not only greater use of information in information systems and databases, which ensures operation of variety of emergency services, but also in agriculture, providing planning and support payment acquisition and promoting progressive agriculture, in construction, environment protection, faster and more accurate geodetic measurements in different areas – construction, cadastral survey, agriculture, transport, cartography, and other sectors of the economy. Cartographic information has been available digitally relatively long time, but so far the terrain information available in the country is not in compliance with modern requirements. Methods for obtaining terrain information are outdated and resource-intensive methods and accuracy of the information is no longer sufficient for the sufficient use of spatial data (for example, cross-border data analysis, flood modelling). Such public administration functions and tasks, for provision which one of the factors is precise terrain data, are incomplete or not performed at all. For the production of fast and modern requirement compliant precise digital terrain and surface models, laser scanning data are required, which are obtained by aero-laser scanning method. A more detailed review of the geospatial information field development is reflected in the Latvian Geospatial Information Development Concept project (announced on State Secretaries Meeting of 7 March 2013, Minutes No. 9, Paragraph 1). 5.4.5 Automated Issue and Acceptance of Electronic Invoices With the development of electronic transactions and payments, e-invoicing can significantly increase the efficiency of the invoicing process in public administration and outside of it. Einvoicing allows automation of the invoicing process; thus, further increasing the current efficiency of payments (not just saving paper and time, but also benefiting from the process optimisation). E-invoicing is rather widespread in the private sector, noteworthy is proportion of automatically processed invoices (~ 38% of companies are sending or receiving them47), in public administration, however, automated invoice processing is still not widely used. E-invoicing exchange should become the standard in public administration, starting with electronic procurement system, public procurements and governance, as well for received invoices. It is necessary to ensure compliance, and united e-invoicing exchange environment should be developed in collaboration with developers and holders of private sector solutions. 47 Digital Agenda Scoreboard: http://digital-agendadata.eu/index.php?scenario=2&indicators[]=e_inv+ENT_ALL_XFIN+%25_ent&countries[]=EU27&countries[]=L V#chart information_society_development_guidelines_2014_2020.docx; Information Society Development Guidelines 2014-2020
