LONDON, November 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Finance and Accounting Business Process Management Leader Integrates Invoice Automation into its Services
OB10, the e-Invoicing network, today announced a strategic partnership with Infosys BPO, the business process outsourcing subsidiary of Infosys Limited. This partnering of two best-of-breed companies will offer enhanced capabilities to the Finance and Accounting (F&A) business process management and process automation spaces.
The collaboration enables Infosys BPO to extend the next wave of business benefits to its global clients. Invoice processing has traditionally been an area of labour-intensive and high touch point transactional activity within the finance function. OB10's invoice-automation services enable improved productivity, enhanced data quality, payment on time and increased transparency to the purchase-to-pay process.
Anantha Radhakrishnan, Vice President and Unit Head - Global Centers, Business Transformation and Technology Services, Infosys BPO, said, "Our partnership with OB10 will help in further transforming clients' businesses, thus realizing enhanced business value for them. E-Invoicing is a key strategic imperative for clients in the Finance and Accounting space, and this partnership will help deliver higher efficiency and effectiveness to them. This association further validates our position as a trusted transformation partner to our clients."
The combination of best-in-class skills, technology and methodologies from OB10 and Infosys BPO has already had an impact on two large global corporations that are rolling out e-Invoicing to their supplier ecosystems.
"Automation is the natural next step for organisations that have centralised their finance functions," said Luke McKeever, CEO at OB10. "By working closely with Infosys BPO, we are making the transition to electronic invoicing seamless to both customers and their suppliers. Once embedded, their relationships can be strengthened even further with easy access to early payment through dynamic discounting and supply chain finance."
