I am excited to announce the publication of Ardent Partners’ 14th annual State of ePayables research report. The theme of this year’s report is “Driving Value in the Age of Intelligence”. This report presents a comprehensive, industry-wide view into what is happening in the world of accounts payable today, by drawing on the experience, performance, and perspective of AP and finance executives.
The speed of innovation within the world of finance is accelerating and new technologies and strategies are emerging that will make a big impact on the Accounts Payable industry. Today, businesses and consumers are now fully-engulfed by technology and the data it both creates and captures. The result is a world that has become increasingly data-driven, and businesses around the globe have an extraordinary opportunity to capitalize on it.
This report is a must-read for anyone in, or working with, Accounts Payable. It contains a wealth of critical information on the ‘The State of ePayables in 2019’ including:
- The Current ‘State of Accounts Payable’
- Best-in-Class AP Performance
- Key Industry Trends and Benchmarks
- Strategies for Success
The AP function has risen in stature, prominence, and impact within the enterprise over the past few years, but the larger opportunities for value creation still lay ahead for most groups. Transforming an AP operation takes a commitment of time, energy, and resources, and Ardent Partners research shows that, if done well, it is a worthwhile investment that can deliver long-term advantages. The initial gains from an AP transformation can be significant but, once process efficiencies have been achieved, AP leaders must continue to find new ways to generate value. The “Age of Intelligence” has the potential to become the next major force and catalyst to drive value for AP and finance leaders. Over the next few months, this site will feature articles highlighting the key discussion points from the report so make sure to check back often. Download your copy now!
