The skills that accounts payable (“AP”) teams will need to succeed in the months and years ahead are evolving rapidly. Skills that involve more transactional duties are becoming less important in the face of increasing automation and greater levels of business process outsourcing. In light of this titanic shift in the AP field, Ardent Partners has launched its annual ePayables 2016 research survey, which is now available by clicking here.

As in past years, this latest iteration of Ardent’s annual ePayables survey (click here now to participate) aims to present a state of the accounts payable market, including AP’s technology usage and the key performance metrics that enterprises of all sizes can use as baselines to judge their own AP department’s performance.

AP is becoming more strategic, attempting to reach higher ground, but the invoicing process remains in an evolutionary phase. This is despite an increasing recognition in industry that the AP team has the potential to drive significant financial returns to the bottom line. Participating in the 2016 survey will allow Ardent Partners to continue producing the market-leading AP research that it has consistently provided to the marketplace over the years. Ardent encourages its readers to take the survey (click here) and to pass it along to other colleagues in the field.
