"In the midst of the current global recession, finance and other enterprise executives have intensified their focus on cost containment and the optimization of working capital. The Accounts Payable (A/P) department is uniquely positioned to support these objectives. Unfortunately, the average A/P department lacks the automation, executive focus, and general business alignment needed to effectively do so. In fact, the manual, paper-based processes, in place in a majority of A/P departments, are eroding the bottom-line of large and mid-market enterprises to the order of millions of dollars each year. While A/P automation offers compelling transaction cost savings and other strategic benefits, only one-third of all enterprises have any significant level of automation in place. Opportunities abound."

Kofax Achieves the Highest Score When Evaluated on Market Readiness & Value Delivered to Current Customers
The Aberdeen E-Payables AXIS report is especially relevant to enterprises planning to automate existing manual A/P systems. Kofax (representing the combined capabilities of Kofax and newly acquired 170 Systems) achieved the highest total score (99) in this evaluation of leading systems. As a CHAMPION vendor, Kofax has demonstrated superior proficiency in delivering both real value as well as the ability to serve and support its installed user base.
80% of all invoices are still paper, and manual checks are used for approximately 60% of all payments. As enterprises evaluate their current A/P processes the impact of A/P deficiencies become more apparent. These include:
- Inadequate technology
- Lack of centralization of oversight
- Lack of process visibility.
