Henry Ijams, founder of PayStream Advisors, will share his Accounts Payable Maturity Framework and the critical steps that companies need to take to ready themselves for the future. Using a four-stage model as a benchmark, participants will take a guided tour of the many alternative AP paths to 2020. Attendees will participate in a live case study to determine which path is best for their unique organizations ... and which paths pose the most risk. The future of the AP automation market, new available technologies and the five best practices for successful future development will also be discussed.
But before we do that…
Did you know that PayStreans conducts a variety of research elements in P2P?
Here’s a quick list of our studies completed in 2012.
All studies are available to IFO members FREE – as a benefit of your membership!
Just go to “resource center” and then ‘thought leadership’ after going to the IFO’s home page – or see direct link on the bottom of this slide.
Two main factors:
1. Small and medium-sized companies are struggling with manual, paper-driven processes and are realizing that automation can alleviate most of the challenges they face in their day-to-day operations.
2.The availability of affordable, easy-to-implement and use technology solutions is driving a renewed interest in AP automation for these smaller organizations.
Our mission is to connect all the companies in the world on one platform.
We think the best way to reach that goal is to provide value to everyone participating in the business-to-business process.
We believe that the future of business software is open, cloud based and connected.
Tradeshift is not your father’s enterprise software. Its 100% cloudbased. Its purpose built, to be easy and useful – when and where you want to use it.
The utility and useability also significantly enhance adoption – both internal to your enterprise but with suppliers as well.
Integration options:
File forwarding to ERP system
Connectors for ERP and accounting packages
API and custom integration (XML, EDIFACT, CSV)
Web application & file uploader
