A deficient accounts payable function creates problems for procurement and the CPO. AP departments that lack technology, centralization of oversight, and visibility negatively impact procurement processes and performance. A discussion around these challenges (which are common) and how Best-in-Class enterprises tackle them will be a primary focus for the webinar (free registration) that I will be participating in on Thursday.
In this webinar, I will discuss the ability of ePayables (accounts payable automation solutions) to foster a collaborative work environment between AP and other functions, primarily procurement, treasury, and IT. Here’s the official description of the webinar:
