EBG | Webinar: Finance and procurement – a fine romance or the best of enemies?

How to Leverage Automation to Build a Bridge between Both

Traditionally, in most organizations, the relationship between finance and procurement has been ad-hoc, and not strategic. Even though the two functions are closely linked together and have mutual goals of savings, control and visibility, oftentimes there is tension between the two departments due to historical differences in their duties and solutions that functioned independently. But all that is changing thanks to automation.

In this webinar, Tuula Tuonen, Sushmitha Koka and Jason Vincelette at Basware will discuss the benefits and potential conflicts of working with an end-to end purchase to pay (P2P) process, and how your organization can take steps towards maximizing process efficiency. We will also look at P2P automation and how it can be the factor that aligns procurement and finance departments together.

The webinar will also cover:

  • Challenges of having a disjointed process. There are typically tree areas where disjoint processes are common; spend control, compliance and supplier relationships
  • Trend toward cross-functional collaboration by use of automation and digitalization
  • Steps to bringing finance and procurement closer together by means of platforms, processes and people.

As Customer Insights Director at Basware, Tuula Tuononen works closely with Basware’s customers gathering input and ideas, including market intelligence and emerging trends to develop Basware’s strategy and product portfolio. She has also worked as a global business advisor at Basware, consulting Basware’s customers on Source-to-Pay best practices and processes. Before joining Basware, she used to be a procurement practitioner in different industries.
