Even as other enterprise functions begin to adopt digital transformation strategies, the average accounts payable (AP) unit still faces a more traditional challenge: continuing to automate specific facets of invoice- and payment-processing while breaking free from the back office. But, AP executives must also keep an eye towards the future and plan for the next generation of AP programs.

Every year, Ardent Partners conducts one AP-themed market research report. This 13th annual State of ePayables report will identify current trends within the AP, P2P, and finance realm and present definitive guidance on how today’s AP functions can not only succeed in the short-term, but also plan for an intelligent and digital future.

As in year’s past, this latest iteration of Ardent’s annual ePayables survey (click here to participate) aims to present a state of the accounts payable market, including P2P technology usage and the key tools, processes, and strategies that enterprises of all sizes can use as baselines to judge their own P2P and AP performance. We also ask questions to gain an understanding of your recent performance and overall focus for the year ahead.

By taking this ~15-minute survey, you have an opportunity to help advance the collective knowledge of the entire AP profession AND get a full view into the current “State of Accounts Payable” when the report publishes. If you are a practitioner, please click here to take the State of ePayables 2018 survey. As a ‘thank you,’ Ardent will send you the completed report (a $499 value) completely free and without registration once it publishes in May, 2018. Thank you for your participation!
