Dear Colleague,

Just under 100 people deeply entrenched in their organisations' P2P process met in London last month at 'Toning Up Purchase to Pay to Attain Touchless Processing' to find out who was doing what well, and how. The beauty of meetings like this is that many delegates enter the room feeling isolated and misunderstood - there is a general perception that they really are alone in their problems. Two days later they leave with an air of confidence, a lift in their step, and smiles on their faces, relieved and empowered by the knowledge that THEY ARE NOT ALONE.

If you did not manage to make it to the event in London, please look out for our P2P event in both Chicago and mainland Europe later this year. The features that struck the delegates were the excellent benchmarking round tables, and how networking was actively promoted. Did you think you were the only company experiencing 20% capture rates with OCR? Our OCR Round Table soon flushed out that 20% was not uncommon. We have taken some of the highlights of  'Toning Up Purchase to Pay to Attain Touchless Processing' and present them to you in this month's feature. Furthermore, please take a look at the free presentation by Julie Ayres Smith from KELLOGG's on Talent Management. We really appreciate that you forward this on to your contacts, so thank you.
