Ardent Partners research over the past five years has shown that the use of B2B electronic payments (ePayments) is on the rise, having captured the attention of finance and AP leaders around the globe. Paper checks, while still prevalent, are in retreat from ePayment methods such as ACH, payment networks, commercial cards, and wire transfers that can all reduce costs while also improving the level of visibility and accuracy in the vendor payment process.
More enterprises today are targeting their payment processes for effectiveness and efficiency improvements as part of a larger AP or P2P transformation program. And, they are doing so against a backdrop of emerging technologies, platforms, and strategies. This convergence of corporate focus with novel industry and technology advances shows that ePayments are not only rising in usage, they are also rising in prominence and business impact.
Given this malleable environment, it’s easy for enterprises to wonder what’s coming next down the pipe. That’s why Ardent Partners has teamed up with Bottomline Technologies to offer a free webinar, ePayables: Big Trends & Predictions for 2015, on Thursday, February 12 at 2 p.m. US Eastern Time.
Ardent’s own Chief Research Officer, Andrew Bartolini, will outline his ePayments predictions for the year ahead, as well as insights into the current state of play in B2B electronic payments. Bartolini will also offer recommendations on how to acclimate your organization to the new paradigms coming into play in the year ahead and beyond. If you register for the webinar, you’ll also get a complimentary copy of Ardent’s most recent ePayments market report. Register now at the links below:
