Watch On Demand: Accounts Payable in the Age of AI

Turn Accounts Payable into a measurable source of capacity, control and efficiency.

In this on-demand session, Shaun Leisegang and Shaun Doherty explored where manual work still sits across Accounts Payable and how AI and agentic automation can improve speed, control and visibility across the invoice lifecycle.

The discussion looked beyond traditional AP automation to the next opportunity: reducing the manual work between invoice capture, validation, approvals, exceptions and ERP posting.
