From Jim Mandt: Five Questions About Accounts-Payable Tech Implementation That Every Organization Should Ask
With more than 20 years' experience implementing AP document management technology, Jim Mandt knows just how impactful AP technology investment can be to organizations in every industry. Beyond the expense, the technology that organizations select will touch every internal and external player in the procure-to-pay process.
In a recent blog post on The Accounts Payable Channel, Jim shared five simple, yet critical, questions that organizations should ask their technology provider to help them avoid the all-too-common pitfalls of choosing AP technology "flash" over substance:
- PROCESS: How in-depth will your evaluation of my organization's P2P process be before implementation of AP document management technology?
- CUSTOMIZATION: How will your solution adapt to my organization's particular operating environment and supplier ecosystem?
- WORKFLOW CAPABILITIES: How will your solution move my organization beyond only eliminating paper to also addressing the workflow behind it?
- ERP INTEGRATION: How will your technology integrate with my ERP solution to boost my organization's return on investment?
- SERVICE AND SUPPORT: How will you ensure that your solution continues to deliver value long after the sale?
By asking these and other tough questions, organizations can make sure their AP technology choice reflects a long-term, value-driven commitment to true automation across the P2P spectrum.
