Ardent Partners is excited to announce the publication of its annual eBook, “Ardent Partners’ AP Metrics that Matter in 2020”, which is available for download here. Over the next few weeks, this site will feature articles highlighting the key data points from this eBook. This eBook presents a comprehensive, industry-wide view into what is happening in the world of Accounts Payable (“AP”) today, by drawing on the experience, performance, and perspective of AP and finance executives. The AP Metrics that Matter is a compilation of the industry’s best and most widely-used accounts payable benchmarks captured in Ardent’s most recent state of the market report: The State of ePayables: Driving Value in the Age of Intelligence.
Accounts Payable’s Big Data has the potential to become the next major force and catalyst for the profession. In fact, over the next few years, Ardent Partners predicts that a new type of intelligence will emerge from this data that enables AP teams and their key partners to view their operations differently and by doing so, will force these same groups to develop new strategies and approaches. For the AP leaders everywhere, this is the dawning of the Age of Intelligence. This new age presents those willing to seize it with unprecedented potential to transform not only how AP operates but more importantly, the true value and intelligence it can offer to the business.
Over the past decade, Ardent Partners has conducted more supply management market research studies than any other firm or consultancy in the industry. In that time, Ardent has benchmarked, surveyed and interviewed thousands of distinct organizations across all aspects of their supply management programs including accounts payable, sourcing, procurement, and supply management. If you work in these areas or are a stakeholder vested in their success, you will want to download this eBook today!
