Conference Day Two: May 15th, 2024

9:55 AM Keynote Panel Discussion: Modernising and Digitising AP as the Ultimate Proof for Operational Transformation

Procure to Pay is the most common and therefore probably the most critical processes in shared services and GBS organisation, yet the maturity of AP and P2P has a lot of room for improvement. In a recent SSON R&A and Basware research, just 36% of respondents regard themselves as “expert” or high maturity, and just less than 6% as “highly automated”. How are we leveraging existing technology and drive the maturity level to build more value into the AP process is therefore a huge priority for many organisations. We will bring a group of expert practitioners to share their practical perspectives and real-life experiences:

·       Identifying the ultimate opportunities in AP transformation and digitalisation?

·       What are the most comment challenges preventing us taking full advantage of automation?

·       What are the opportunities and applications for AI?

·       Having an end-to-end view in mind: What does that mean and how to implement it in real life?

·       Sharing operational wisdom and lessons learned for effective AP transformation.
