Things are shifting in the Source-to-Pay (S2P) world and it’s time to address the elephant in the room. S2P ecosystem or S2P single suite for automating your procurement and finance functions? Do you go to one vendor and get access to a multitude of tools and services under one umbrella – or do you seek out different specialists for each segment you want to improve?

Welcome to join us in November!

Date: November 12th 2020
Time: 2:00-3:00 PM CET
Place: Your computer/tablet/phone
Language: English
Cost: Free of charge but requires registration
Organizer: EBG | Network & Basware

During this session we will explore what the difference between an ecosystem and single suite are. What considerations you who want to digitize, take control and automate further should consider choosing what road to walk. How your current IT, organizational and operational landscape can affect your success rate given your choice. 

Join Duncan Jones, Vice President, Principal Analyst at Forrester and Jason Vincelette, Director, Product and Business Management at Basware to learn more about:

  • What is the difference between an S2P ecosystem and S2P single suite?
  • Which are the pro’s and con’s with ecosystem and single suite options?
  • What should you consider when choosing which IT road to take?
  • How do you serve the needs of each function and give stakeholders what they are craving?
  • What role does the current IT, organizational and operational landscape you have play?
  • Are there any risks you should consider given the option you choose?

All who register receive the slide and recording. Learn from peers joining live and ask your questions – we hope to see you live!
