AP Automation isn’t just about selecting and negotiating terms or paying on time and processing invoices. It’s about ensuring that your organisation is working efficiently and matching the negotiated price from sourcing negotiations/contracts, in the price paid and more.Procurement is not just about selecting and negotiating terms, it’s about ensuring that your organisation procures based on those terms and pays accordingly, this is why AP and procurement are brothers in arms. View this webinar to learn how a partnership between AP and Procurement is critical in the aftermath of the pandemic, and if the two work together and become allies, quick wins and savings can be achieved.Presented by Jenny Draper, Global Head of Client Services & General Manager (UK/EU) at Spend Matters, and Dmitri Krasik, Senior Sales Executive (UK&I) at Medius, this is a webinar not to miss.

One successful fraud attempt is all it takes to wipe out years of company earnings. Digitalizing and automating the AP invoices is a great first step but many forget about the last mile of the AP process, the payment itself.  In the last few years, fraudsters are increasingly focusing on social engineering attacks such as phishing to manipulate individuals into initiating a payment, seeking to exploit businesses with vulnerable processes. Malware is also an ever-present threat that puts pressure on your IT department. To mitigate these threats, it’s vital to put checks and controls throughout your entire AP process. For these reasons, Medius has developed two features strengthening the controls on the payment processing side: Risk Scoring of payments and Invoice Preview. In this webinar, Fredrik Rydqvist (strategic sales executive) and Karl-Henrik Sundberg (payments presales) will showcase how Medius Pay can enhance and secure your payment process.

In this webinar, Fredrik and Karl-Henrik will share best practice for payments, and show how you can take your AP payment process from “ok” to “best-in-class” with Medius Pay.

In a world of complex supplier sourcing processes, high demands from internal supplier compliance protocols and an ever-growing mountain of data streaming in from multiple areas of the business, simplicity can mean the difference between a resilient business and imminent failure.

The retail industry is one of the most competitive industries in the business world, and the events of the last year have further complicated already complex demands needed to stay on the leading edge among competitors.

After the disruption of the last two years, it is now clear that the accounts payable process needs to be in scope for a 2022 technology investment. Join this webinar to learn how to leverage a complete, end-to-end solution for immediate benefits that are critical to staying afloat in the ever-changing retail industry. 

Sifting through numbers and metrics can be daunting, but if you focus on the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) directly tied to your business goals and priorities, you've already laid bricks in the path to realizing success. In this webinar, we'll be joined by Ardent Partner's co-founder, Andrew Bartolini, to discuss the findings from the 2021 Ardent Partner's "Metrics that Matter" report. You'll be able to dig into the current state of procurement organizations, what KPIs are other organizations measuring, and where it makes sense to focus your organization's efforts for improvement.

AP KPIs and benchmarks are an excellent instrument for businesses who want to improve their invoice to pay process, regain control of spend and minimize risk. Year after year, we hear from AP and finance professionals that they crave the visibility into and measurability of their invoice efficiency levels, and the challenges of the recent pandemic have amplified that need.In our newly released benchmark report, we’ve gathered aggregate data for the most relevant accounts payable process efficiency KPIs presented with an average score as well as that of best-in-class performers. Join us for this webinar where we’ll summarize the results and key takeaways from the 2021 data.

This webinar was previously run live during the IOFM AP Automation Summit virtual event. In the age of self-driving cars and automation, AP is also experiencing a transformation toward the autonomous with the help of machine learning and big data. When modern technology works the way it should for AP, processes can happen without user intervention - simply and seamlessly - so that you can focus on the bigger picture and strategic initiatives.

In this webinar, we’re joined by Bob Cohen from Ardent Partners to discuss this year’s trends, knowledge and benchmarks needed by MMEs as they work to optimize their accounts payable operations in 2022.

Any of these problems sound familiar? Your supplier put you “on hold” again and is withholding the goods or services your business needs. The AP team is churning headcount faster than HR can keep up with new hires. eInvoice mandates in Italy, with France/Poland on the way, and other compliance requirements are endangering your company's adherence. Bottom line: your business is doing whatever possible to protect revenue and the pressure falls on AP. If you nodded your head with any of the above, you’re not alone. With the burden of processing an average of over 20,000 invoices per full-time team member, these frustrations are pushing finance professionals to a boiling point. Luckily, there’s a solution, and you can take steps now to trade the stress and second-guessing for ease and efficiency.

Coinciding with the imminent release of the '2022 State of ePayables' report from Ardent Partners, Accounts Payable is emerging from the challenges of the last 2+ years as more resilient organizations with tremendous opportunity for growth through digital transformation. Join Medius and Ardent Partners in our webinar as we review the findings of this year's research report. We'll cover just how simple it is to act now by automating and improving your AP, as well as share details from the report about current AP benchmarks and what leaders are doing to meet the challenges of 2022 and beyond.

Finance leaders are looking to the near future for what they can do to perpetuate success early on in the new year as well as prepare for anticipated (as well as unforeseen) challenges yet to come.

If your organisation is big enough to have a procurement function, then it is big enough to warrant an investment in eSourcing technology. The efficiency gains, controls and cost savings potential speak for themselves. Why then are so many procurement functions still bound by manual processes, email tennis, and an Alexandrian library of word documents and spreadsheets? Possibly because we all recognise that signing the subscription agreement is the easiest part of any software implementation, making that software work for you and your business is what really counts… So if you are one of those teams that is still hand cranking your supplier sourcing process - or if you are stuck with old, out-of-date systems and thinking about making a move to a modern cloud solution - this webinar will help answer whatever reservations are still holding you back. Listen to this this 60-minute webinar with Jenny Draper from Spend Matters and Daniel Ball and Jurgita Andrijauskaite from Medius.

The last 15 months have elevated accounts payable into its well-deserved role as a strategic insight center of the business. Yet, Medius' research found that 77% of surveyed Finance professionals say the volume of invoices they manage causes payment delays.

The events and circumstances of the last two years have pushed accounts payable - and it's previous 'status quo' - into the spotlight for reevaluation. There are emerging patterns of what successful organizations are doing right when it comes to accommodating that trend. In a cosponsored report with Medius, analyst firm Ardent Partners are sharing the results of copious amounts of research to pick out the most important trends that will shape the future of AP in the next 10 months.In this webinar, we'll be combing through the report results with you, sharing key takeaways and the important next steps for AP and finance professionals.
