They look at the state and priorities of AP, where it’s likely headed and what are the paths that will get there. Security, especially data security, will be a focus in 2023, as will the increasing importance of e-invoicing and electronic documents in general, along with the growing influence of AI on AP processes.

The discussion covers:

• What are the most common priorities for AP teams now
• The current state of AP and what the focus challenges are
• What the changing metrics are for assessing AP
• The potential for increased investment in the AP function

Corcentric Conversations | Be in the Know about Tech-enabled Managed Services
Visit the website: https://www.corcentric.com/resources/pc-be-in-the-know-about-tech-enabled-managed-services/

Many organizations invest a great deal of time and money in the implementation of new S2P technology to benefit the Finance and Procurement functions. Yet, once they go live, they find themselves in a DIY situation, unable to leverage the new technology to get the optimal results.

In this Corcentric Conversations: Be in the Know about Tech-enabled Managed Services, Claire Sexton discusses how this approach fills the gaps that still exist after an organization goes live by executing and supporting back-office functions, driving adoption, and providing continuous improvement.

She explains the major benefits of Tech-enabled Managed Services, including:

• Accelerated time to value – Organizations get to their targeted outcomes faster with a provider taking on the day-to-day tasks and administrative burdens that can be barriers to optimization.
• Ability to augment in-house talent – Leveraging the provider’s expertise, organizations can achieve desired outcomes without having to invest in hiring new people.
• Greater focus on strategy – With the need to address administrative and other tactical burdens diminished, Finance and Procurement teams can focus on their strategic roles to achieve the organization’s goals.
