The average company is often forced to look within to drive additional value to their overall operations. Functions that were not considered strategic in years past, such as account payable (AP), fall clearly within this notion. Today’s AP functions are well-positioned to be effective “hubs” of cash management, spend visibility and overall corporate intelligence.
Within the dynamic environment of AP, there are several critical trends that have emerged, which is why Ardent has partnered with Concur to offer a complimentary webinar—“Accounts Payable: Top Trends for 2015”—on April 16, 2015 at 2 pm U.S. Eastern Time. Ardent’s Chief Research Officer, Andrew Bartolini, and Research Director Christopher Dwyer will expound on the top trends in AP for the year ahead, as well as offer recommendations to help enterprises take advantage of these changes.

Webinar Description:
Finance and procurement executives often struggle with controlling enterprise spend and enhancing the greater organization’s cost reductions efforts. In an age when companies are typically forced to blend a mix of internal efficiencies and approaches with external solutions, the accounts payable (AP) function has risen to new ground as a formidable outlet of true strategic value.
Join Ardent Partners’ Chief Research Officer, Andrew Bartolini, and Christopher J. Dwyer, Research Director, as they unveil the top trends within the AP function for 2015 and utilize this discussion to help organizations transform their AP operations into value-added programs. The webinar, sponsored by Concur, will address a range of evolutionary attributes within the AP industry, including:
- The top market trends that will shape how AP is viewed in 2015 and beyond.
- The growing role of business networks in driving financial (and spend) management value.
- The criticality of payment processes and technology within the spectrum of Ardent’s ePayables Framework, and;
- The best means for linking procure-to-pay processes and ensuring that greater spend management programs can provide true financial intelligence for long-term planning, budgeting and forecasting.
