Bill Dorn, Senior Vice President of Product Operations at Corcentric, provides his insights regarding what the most prevalent trends will be impacting AP in 2023.

What the Podcast covers:

The current state of events — talent shortage, supply chain issues, economic pressures — has really catapulted AP from the back office to front and center in the boardroom, at least in terms of business focus and visibility.

In light of that, Bill Dorn explores the year ahead for AP in a discussion with Kelly Barner in this Corcentric Conversation: Getting Opportunistic With 2023 AP Trends. They look at the state and priorities of AP, where it’s likely headed and what are the paths that will get there. Security, especially data security, will be a focus in 2023, as will the increasing importance of e-invoicing and electronic documents in general, along with the growing influence of AI on AP processes.

The discussion covers:

• What are the most common priorities for AP teams now
• The current state of AP and what the focus challenges are
• What the changing metrics are for assessing AP
• The potential for increased investment in the AP function

Corcentric Conversations | Be in the Know about Tech-enabled Managed Services
Visit the website: https://www.corcentric.com/resources/pc-be-in-the-know-about-tech-enabled-managed-services/

Many organizations invest a great deal of time and money in the implementation of new S2P technology to benefit the Finance and Procurement functions. Yet, once they go live, they find themselves in a DIY situation, unable to leverage the new technology to get the optimal results.

In this Corcentric Conversations: Be in the Know about Tech-enabled Managed Services, Claire Sexton discusses how this approach fills the gaps that still exist after an organization goes live by executing and supporting back-office functions, driving adoption, and providing continuous improvement.

She explains the major benefits of Tech-enabled Managed Services, including:

• Accelerated time to value – Organizations get to their targeted outcomes faster with a provider taking on the day-to-day tasks and administrative burdens that can be barriers to optimization.
• Ability to augment in-house talent – Leveraging the provider’s expertise, organizations can achieve desired outcomes without having to invest in hiring new people.
• Greater focus on strategy – With the need to address administrative and other tactical burdens diminished, Finance and Procurement teams can focus on their strategic roles to achieve the organization’s goals.
