Archive Systems Offers New Webinar on Streamlining the Purchase to Pay Process

    FAIRFIELD, NJ, May 13, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Archive Systems, a leading provider of accounts payable automation, today announced that the company will be presenting a free Webinar on using technology to streamline the purchase to pay process with automated three way matching and a vendor portal. The 45 minute Webinar will be held on May 21st at 1:00PM EDT.

The presenter will be Rob DeVincent, Archive Systems' Vice President of Product Marketing. The Webinar is based on a very successful session at IAPP University. DeVincent will explore how to do more work with better efficiency and less AP processor involvement by implementing technology. Participants will also learn about the two key areas that seem to have automation gaps in the P2P process - the three way matching function and vendor customer service on invoice payment inquiries.

Implementing new ERP systems has allowed AP departments to become more automated in matching the purchasing and receiving functions. The Webinar will cover the elusive part, which has always been the invoice component of the three way match. This is because the paper invoice needs to be converted to electronic data to truly automate the match. Additionally once these invoices are paid, handling vendor inquiries about payment status can take up a lot of a processor's valuable time. DeVincent will also explain how a Vendor Portal can be used to free up that time to focus on processing invoices.

"We received such positive feedback from our session at IAPP University that we wanted to offer it to more people. Attendees told us how they are trying to find new ways to cut costs and we clearly demonstrated how to accomplish this in the Accounts Payable department. Best of all, we accomplish these cost savings while increasing productivity," added DeVincent.

The Webinar will discuss the problems with ERP matching approaches, key elements of a strategic three way matching approach, the benefits of Straight Through Processing, and best practices in matching exceptions.
