The Future of Source-to-Pay: How AI Is Reshaping Roles, Skills, and Collaboration

About this webinar

Artificial intelligence is beginning to change more than how Source-to-Pay work gets done. As AI takes on more transactional and analytical work, it is also creating an opportunity to rethink the roles within procurement and AP, the skills their teams need, and how these functions work together. For AP, greater automation can create capacity to move beyond traditional invoice processing and exception management and contribute more broadly to compliance, supplier management, fraud prevention, and cash management. For procurement, greater automation can create capacity to move beyond traditional sourcing and transactional activities and expand its role in areas such as supplier strategy, risk management, spend optimization, and broader business decision-making. These changes are also beginning to break down long-standing functional silos. Procurement, AP, finance, and treasury manage different parts of the same supplier and financial lifecycle, yet their processes, data, objectives, and systems have often remained disconnected. AI has the potential to create stronger connections across these teams while changing the skills, responsibilities, and business acumen required of the people who manage Source-to-Pay. Join Ardent Partners and SAP for a forward-looking discussion on the future of Source-to-Pay and what procurement and AP leaders should be considering today as they prepare their organizations, teams, and operating models for an increasingly AI-enabled future. Four key takeaways for all attendees: ** How leaders can capture AI’s productivity dividend and expand AP and procurement’s strategic value. ** The skills and business acumen Source-to-Pay teams will need as AI takes on more work. ** How AI can strengthen collaboration across procurement, AP, finance, and treasury. ** How leaders can balance automation and autonomy with human expertise, governance, and resilience.
