ERP integration and IT review are where too many AP automation projects lose momentum. Not because the business case is weak, but because key questions around data access, ownership, security, testing, and change control are raised too late. If you are evaluating AP automation across one or multiple ERPs, this webinar will help you involve IT and InfoSec earlier, avoid unnecessary delays, and move forward with more confidence.
In this practical, non-technical session, Garret and Robert will share what they see repeatedly in the field: why projects stall, what really needs to integrate between AP automation and ERPs, the integration approaches enterprises typically use, and the checklist finance teams can use to prepare for internal review. You will also hear real-world lessons from enterprise implementations and get a one-page ERP & IT Readiness Checklist you can use internally after the session.
