Accounts Payable (AP) has proven to be extremely effective in a shared services model but efficiencies are largely dependent on upstream supply chain processes. When leading shared services operations look for performance improvements or cost reductions in AP, they are forced to evaluate the entire P2P process to identify savings opportunities. “How P2P Fits Within an Enterprise Supply Chain” is the second topic of a supply chain learning series presented by ScottMadden and Shared Services & Outsourcing Network (SSON). In this session, we focus on the key attributes of a successful P2P transformation and the role technology plays in enabling the capture of the synergies and savings associated with P2P in a shared services delivery model.

Fact or Fiction – You Can Manage All Your Supplier Information, Transactions ...Tradeshift
Five or six years ago this would have been fiction hands down, and for many companies now, it might as well be. Using multiple disconnected systems, or manual methods, to manage suppliers and all their information, including invoices, purchase orders, and supply chain risk has been the norm. Doing things this way created a bevy of challenges and limitations—information silos, exposure to risk and overall lack of visibility into supplier relationships.
What if you could onboard your suppliers once for procure-to-pay transactions, and in the same place manage supplier master data, plus have access to real-time information helping you to mitigate your supply chain risk?
This webinar with Tradeshift and Riskmethods discusses how to:
Connect to all your suppliers and from one place
Consolidate all supplier related processes and information
Protect your organization from supply chain disruptions and risky suppliers
Get transparency into potential risks across your supply chain
Actually achieve high adoption among internal users and suppliers.

Fixing the Broken Promise of eProcurement Tradeshift
For the last 15 years, eProcurement software has done the same things but promised different results. Companies are spending their resources trying (and failing) to enforce top down processes and bring more spend under management. The tools used today are about limitations. We think it’s time to change that and solve the unfulfilled promise of eProcurement.
We believe eProcurement should enable:
- Accurate products and services from ALL your suppliers
- A collaborative and easy buying experience
- The freedom to buy anywhere
- Connected end-to-end processes
- A comprehensive solution for ALL your spend
The future of AP means constant change for you and how invoices will be processed over the next six years. What will the revolutionized AP department look like in 2020? Increasingly companies are not just looking for paperless, but better overall processes brought on by automating invoices, matching, routing and payments. Maybe you have one or two automation efforts going but in the coming years you need to prepare for more, more and more. Henry Ijams, founder of PayStream Advisors, will share his insights into how successful managers are handling this booming change.
You’ll also learn where the AP automation market is heading, the available technologies and how they can work together, the five secrets to planning a successful department of the future, and the key elements in making it a successful revolution.

“The Enterprise Supply Chain View” is the first topic of a supply chain learning series that ScottMadden is presenting along with Shared Services & Outsourcing Network (SSON). In this session, we focus on key characteristics of the enterprise supply chain. A discussion of each area (i.e., planning and forecasting, strategic sourcing, procurement, logistics, materials management, and accounts payable) will include notable characteristics of leading practice supply chains as well as key “pain points” ScottMadden has observed that keep companies from achieving an optimized supply chain.
“The Enterprise Supply Chain View” is the first topic of a supply chain learning series that ScottMadden is presenting along with Shared Services & Outsourcing Network (SSON).
Today’s most forward-thinking IT leaders view outsourcing not as a cost reduction tactic but rather as a strategic vehicle and catalyst for transforming the organization into a digital business. They have learned that taking an approach that drives alignment with business requirements, transforms the state of IT, and changes the “work” that is being done not only produces better service levels but also delivers exponentially greater cost savings. In this new white paper, "IT Outsourcing Is Not About Cost Savings", The Outsourcing Institute and WGroup have teamed up to provide guidance to help you rethink IT outsourcing and how you can deliver increased shareholder value.
"HFS envisions procurement as the ‘ecosystem builder’ for the enterprise, not just a cost-focused, back-office function. As the role of procurement radically transforms, the client expectations from third-party source-to-pay (S2P) services are also rapidly evolving.”
– Saurabh Gupta, Chief Research Officer

Combined cycle plants may have fewer moving parts than coal plants, but that does not mean that their operations are any easier to analyze. Relatively limited operating experience and sparse data allow beliefs to take root—some well-founded and others less so. This report takes a quick look at three such beliefs and offers some tantalizing, although preliminary, observations on these questions:
Do higher capacity factors really result in lower non-fuel costs?
Do older units that start more frequently have higher non-fuel costs?
Do merchant operators do a better job of cost containment compared to rate base operators?

Over the last ten years, the U.S. nuclear industry has seen large demands on its capital project/major modification organizations with the mandate to ensure compliance for a number of concerns. As the nuclear fleet continues to age, projects like these will continue to surface, representing large capital exposure for nuclear power plants. For that reason, successful execution of capital projects has never been more important. ScottMadden believes it is critical to ensure the capital projects organization and its projects are structured and organized with clear roles and responsibilities, disciplined in the execution of policies and procedures, and systematic about informing senior leadership of the likelihood and potential costs of project risks.
Success of your capital program depends on the ability to manage a portfolio of projects well and the ability to execute each project’s required actions on time, on budget, and with quality. ScottMadden’s Capital Program Assessment examines how the capital program is implemented—from top to bottom—with a look at the PMO, a specific project selected by our client, and a review of the performance reporting and tools in place. Our approach analyzes these critical areas to provide a detailed assessment of your capital program with actionable recommendations.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
