ABOUT THE CONTENT
The rise of technology in finance and procurement is enabling organizations to more effectively drive margins and mitigate spend risk through automation. To most efficiently purchase and pay for goods and services, finance and procurement leaders are moving toward utilizing centralized data systems with machine learning to maximize enterprise spend control.

We will focus on sharing best practices and lessons learned on these topics:

• Current state of purchasing and payment technology
• How SaaS solutions are impacting buying and paying behavior
• Optimizing cost and profit through AP automation
• Visualizing your spend through advanced analytics
• What do you do today to take advantage of AI in the future?
