Editor’s Note: Join us on Thursday, September 13 at 2pm ET for a complimentary webinar presentation based on our flagship market research report, “The State of ePayables 2018: The Future of AP is Now,” sponsored by Bottomline Technologies (click here to register).
Today, the typical Accounts Payable (“AP”) team continues to work slowly, but surely, to alter the archaic perception of being merely “back office” in nature. In fact, over the past few years, a majority of AP groups have started to successfully leverage new strategies, approaches, and ePayables (or AP automation) solutions as a way to show that their impact can extend well-beyond their traditional bounds. But the discussion of where AP can go in the months and years ahead is deep and complex. There are many avenues AP can take to not only enhance its own operations but also become a true partner in the digitized enterprise of the future. Both strategy-led and innovation-heavy approaches will pave the way for AP’s future over the near- and long-term.
Please join Bob Cohen, Research Director at Ardent Partners, on a complimentary webinar in which he will take an in-depth look at the State of AP in 2018, and the future of the function. The webinar will include benchmarks, recommendations, and analysis that AP leaders can utilize to take their teams to the next level of performance.
Webinar attendees can expect to hear a discussion that covers:
- The current state of AP and AP automation.
- The key strategies used by the Best-in-Class to gain a competitive advantage in the areas of P2P, cash management, and payment processing.
- How B2B payment management has become a strategic business process with a wide-ranging impact on financial performance.
- The evolution of AP and where it goes from here.
