ePlus 2008 Seminar
NAPP Pre-Conference Seminar I
Sunday, February 10, 2008 - 2:00-4:00 PM - Malibu Room
Hands Up If You’d Like To Have A Smoother
Procurement And Invoicing Process!
Presented by:
Jeff Pinkerton, VP of Product Strategy and Marketing
and Rick Hunsinger, Senior Consultant
ePlus, Inc.
Everyone’s heard of GIGO – garbage in, garbage out. But in
accounts payable, most of the day-to-day operational problems come from
exactly that – bad data coming into the invoicing process, which someone has
to clean up. Where does it come from?
Usually, it’s not from purchasing. In fact, it starts right
at the beginning of the procurement process – requisitions, and the supplier
catalogs they are based on.
This session will show how bad product data leads to trouble
throughout the procurement process, from req to check, and what can be done
about it. Using real world examples, you will see how supplier enablement,
content cleansing and catalog management are the necessary first steps to a
good foundation for a smooth procurement and invoicing process.

Bottomline Technologies 2008 Seminar
NAPP Pre-Conference Seminar II
Sunday, February 10, 2008 - 2:00-4:00 PM – Santa Monica Room
The Missing Link to E-Invoicing Success
Presented by:
Anne Marie Gramling, VP, Professional Services
and Ethan Williams, Manager, AP Automation Solutions
Bottomline Technologies
With all the buzz surrounding AP automation, it can be easy
to view the solution to all your company’s AP challenges merely in
technology terms. However, if your suppliers won’t adopt the solution you’ve
deployed, your goals for e-invoicing will never be achieved.
For organizations pursuing, or considering an AP automation
initiative, success will be intricately tied to two factors: the ability to
balance the co-existence of paper and electronic invoices; and the creation
of a compelling business proposition that entices suppliers to adopt
electronic invoicing quickly. Based on real-world examples and broad
industry expertise, this informative session will provide attendees with:
-
Best practices for evaluating, implementing and
leveraging AP automation solutions;
-
Methodologies for establishing supplier activation and
enablement services, and
-
A blueprint for creating a collaborative supplier portal
