Tactical and Practical Steps To Successfully Automate AP

This IOFM Editorial Webinar is a free preview of the new Member-exclusive online workshop: "Tactical and Practical Steps To Successfully Automate AP." Both Members and non-Members are welcome to register for this free sneak peek webinar! 

The entire three-part workshop, including exclusive webinars, workbooks and related Member resources, will be available online and on-demand to IOFM Members at no cost — as a benefit of their IOFM Membership. The workshop will launch on IOFM.com following this live webinar.  

The health risks associated with COVID-19 are leading AP departments to rush to find technological replacements for their manual processes. But the haste comes with a danger of its own: Without addressing underlying process challenges first, automation can make bad worse faster.

Don’t automate for the first time, or optimize your current systems, without first understanding how to objectively evaluate your current processes. To help enable this, our virtual workshop series begins by providing actionable templates to help you visualize your AP and Procure-to-Pay process from multiple perspectives.

In the first of a three-part series by IOFM’s Executive Editor Jess Scheer, you’ll learn how to “see”:

• The scope of your processes
• The inputs and outputs of each step
• The roles and responsibilities of all team members
• The knowledge they need to execute each activity

This short, FREE, 30-minute preview of IOFM’s virtual workshops is a must-view for any manager adjusting their processes. The webinar will be followed by time for Q&A, and additional details on how to access the full Members-only on-demand workshop for the next steps in your automation journey.
