Basware Theme Discussion at Source 2 Pay Summit 2021

Would you agree there is an increased focus towards invoices and accounts payable during 2020? Together with a solid collaboration with procurement and a dialogue with suppliers. When it became crystal clear what may happen when remote work is enforced on global businesses. When the need to have absolute control over cash has never been clearer.

On May 6th you can choose to join the below Theme Discussion hosted by Basware during Source 2 Pay Summit 2021. Theme discussions are limited seats, pre-selected, online, moderator led and on web camera. A really high quality way of connecting with peers and experts also now. Below the topic you can discuss with Magnus Bergfors, Global Business Director at Basware.

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 minimise 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?
