Today’s article is a brief preview of Ardent’s upcoming “Trendspotting: AP’s Top Trends for 2015” webinar this coming Thursday at 2pm Eastern. The event, sponsored by Concur, will highlight the top trends in the world of accounts payable and what they really mean for both procurement and finance leaders across the globe. Join Ardent analysts Andrew Bartolini and Christopher J. Dwyer, along with Concur’s A.G. Lambert as they dissect the latest accounts payable trends and help attendees build a development plan for financial transformation.
The typical adage linked to accounts payable revolves around a shift from the back-office to more strategic, front-line functional territory. Every finance executive understands that the group that processes the company’s invoices should be driving more value, but the fact remains that it’s often too tough to justify a transformation.
That age must evolve, as tomorrow’s top-performing businesses are the ones that understand the true value-add impact of the AP function and know how to link the capabilities within this area to strategic, forward-thinking initiatives.
This Thursday (at 2pm Eastern), join Ardent Partners’ Chief Research Officer, Andrew Bartolini, and Christopher J. Dwyer, research director, as they highlight the trends in the accounts payable space for the year ahead. The webinar, sponsored by Concur, will also feature exciting discussions of how AP is actively impacting other key areas within the average business.
Other areas of discussion during this Thursday’s webinar will include:
- The role of business networks in today’s fast-moving, evolving financial world.
- How AP can drive a “smarter business” and provide key stakeholders with real-time data and intelligence.
- How the notion of “agility” is actively pushing AP into new and strategic enterprise territory, and;
- The best means for accounts payable transformation in the year ahead.
