10:30 AM IDG 2 - Why AP Automation Never Delivered on It's Promise

AP automation spent thirty years automating one side of a two-sided process. The supplier — origin of every invoice, every error, every dispute — was left outside the system that depends on what they send. Nothing was fixed. Bad data, exceptions, and unresolved disputes simply moved faster. This session examines the structural flaw in how the category was designed, what changes when the supplier becomes a participant rather than a data source, and why that shift is a precondition for real-time financial visibility and operational excellence.
