Almost all spend go through an invoice. An indisputable fact yet still much of the invoice handling process is too scattered and often quite manual. Why? To which extent are procurement and finance teams collaborating in your organization to take control over spend from an end-to-end perspective? On May 6th you who join Source 2 Pay Summit online can join either of the two Theme Discussions hosted by Magnus Bergfors, Global Business Director at Basware.

You can ask the peer group questions and learn from the questions they ask.

An introduction to the Basware hosted Theme Discussions at Source 2 Pay Summit 2021
Theme Discussion | Why is AP and AP data more important today than ever before?
In 2021 many companies still struggle with scattered data and challenges handling end to end spend information in a best possible way. Evaluating what a solid digital platform basis may be for you is key. Do you invest in a broad suite or find best of breed solutions for different areas? Given that you too want to minimize errors and automate the most – what should you consider as you develop ahead?
During this session you will discuss:
- In what ways does a suite, platform and best of breed system differ?
- How do you define what business problem You need to solve and hence what you choose?
- Compare how mature your AP and invoice handling is!
- Why is AP where you should focus more efforts?
- Is accounts payable increasingly becoming a procurement topic?
