•White Paper: Insourcing, Outsourcing, And Cosourcing — Automating The Procure To Pay Process

Top management is increasingly being pushed to invent new ways to increase performance, productivity, and profitability in today's highly competitive business environment. As these daily pressures grow, executives continually search for solutions that will reduce the expenses of back-office services while also expanding market share — both of which should have a positive effect on a company's bottom line.

Whether to look to an in-house solution or contract with an outside service vendor to help with those strategies is not an easy choice. Company policies, resource availability, working capital and time will all factor into the final decision.

While we believe that financial solutions developed in-house will continue to be popular in the years ahead, we also suggest that forward-thinking companies will increasingly look to third-party "experts" to handle specialized tasks such as transaction and financial processing responsibilities.

Historically, manufacturers were the first to determine that contracting out components to specialized vendors led to lower cost of goods, reduced head count and increased reliability. We feel that a similar shift will take place in back-office operations. Increasingly, "strategically" focused executives will determine which processes can be divested in an effort to refocus internal resource efforts on adding value to the corporation.
