COVID-19 has forced a reality where everything is changed – except the fact that suppliers still need to be paid, and customers invoiced. Finance executives and their teams have been heads-down reimagining their businesses since the crisis began. A common thread among the many initiatives being touted is an urgent shift to a more contemporary, digitally savvy, and data-driven accounts payable function.
Cash is still king but now it’s a different kind of king. All workflows that impact cash are under review. Optimizing cash now requires digitizing AP, to take advantage of automation and data insights.
Join us for the next iteration of SSON’s AP Automation Digital Summit, as we introduce the journey to a new business era, rich in AI, automation and analytics.
