Reduced time and money spent chasing paper, improved productivity and shortened reconciliation and payment cycles have all been major drivers in the push for AP automation.

Definition:
• The Cloud is a general term for
anything that involves
delivering hosted services over
the Internet.
• May also be referred to as:
• “SaaS” which is Software
as a Service
• “On-Demand”.
Characteristics:
• It is sold on demand
• typically the user pays for access
to the platform and for the “traffic”
that is generated by their
organization
• it is elastic -- a user can have as
much or as little of a service as
they want at any given time; and
the service is fully managed by
the provider

What can the cloud do for you?
Customers we work with have reported successes
including:
 Staff having 45% more time to focus on value added tasks
 Vendor calls having been reduced by 50% and can now be
resolved in a single call (which reduces the time to resolution
significantly)
 Invoice approvals which can occur in a fraction of the time in
comparison to the old method of manually routing and/or manually
scanning and emailing
 Increased visibility, you cannot actively manage what you are not
actually measuring.
