Today, however, not using technology to streamline corporate spend actually increases costs and decreases control. The right software can increase efficiency and visibility into how money is spent, provide always-vigilant automated supervision, and enforce process conformity. Increasingly, artificial intelligence is providing finance and accounting with the means to improve spend-related processes.

Solace Event-Driven Architecture Enables Hybrid Cloud Computing

Posted by Ventana Research on Oct 21, 2021 5:00:00 AM
