Over the past few years hundreds of Shared Services Centres globally have been singing the same tune. ‘Are we the only AP organisation trying to attain touchless? Who has really done it? And why can’t we seem to get there?’ This report has been compiled for a number of reasons, but the sole intention is so it can be used as an aid to help professionals in Finance make significant gains in the P2P clean-up operation.

Most companies reading this report have done Shared Services. Shared Services in itself is such a massive project and, let’s face it, quite exhausting. Companies generally spent tens of millions investing in Oracle or SAP, moving to a Greenfield site, employing consultants, and getting the rest of the business excited about the change. The fact is with shared service, evolution doesn’t stop. Once an SSO is live and stable and all countries are in, many companies sigh a deep breath and think the hard bit is over. The reality is, if you are intent on reducing your cost of AP, the really challenging part starts now – in the Continuous Improvement phase. This report is written for Shared Services Directors who realise that, if they are going to eliminate the invoice through electronic invoicing, they need to ensure each invoice is perfect, which means ensuring Procurement are good at raising Purchase Orders.
