About Source 2 Pay Summit

For EBG, Iulia represent competences of the future. Visionary, cross function insights, digitally experienced and seamless movement between different areas of the business.

Source 2 Pay Summit is not a Global Business Services summit – yet all companies joining the summit will have or have a GBS, a SSC and/or have outsourced all or part of their source to pay processes.

Source 2 Pay Summit is not a procurement summit – yet gladly many joining the summit work within sourcing and procurement and understand that much of company revenue start with them. Their ability to fulfill set targets start with gaining end to end visibility and control over sourcing, procurement and finance. They increasingly know they need to collaborate across functions and in-between organizations.

Source 2 Pay Summit is not an e-invoice or accounts payable summit – yet all upstream actions end up in accounts payable or – if fully automated – with an invoice of sorts being paid. Refining upstream sourcing and procurement processes mean better data and more time to feed insights back to the organization.

Source 2 Pay Summit is not a treasury summit – yet the possibilities to work with cash management and working capital in more efficient ways IF you include procurement and supply chain in the mix – are huge. To do so companies will need to communicate and collaborate across functions and in-between organizations.

Source 2 Pay Summit is one of few summits where the people with the joint power to change business outcome meet. Informal yet to the point experience exchange with people bringing different perspectives to the table. Quite simply a unique opportunity to gain insights you may otherwise rarely get. Does it work? EBG believe so since 2020 will be the 10th annual summit!
