Why Starting with AP Automation is the Best Way to Structure P2P Deployment

CPOs and CFOs recognize that adopting a procure-to-pay (P2P) system can deliver a variety of benefits to an organization. Typically, businesses implement P2P solutions to gain operational efficiencies, optimize spend by reducing supplier counts, and generate savings by eliminating non-compliant spend.

By realizing the benefits of AP automation, organizations can:

• Analyze valuable spend and supplier data
