AI, Machine Learning, Advanced Analytics and Virtual Assistants: new technologies are developing rapidly, offering new opportunities for the digital transformation of Source to Pay processes. But how can you tell what is ‘just a hype’ and which trends will continue to add value in the future? Which approach suits your situation and how can you keep up with new developments? How do you choose the best technology to support your people and processes in the right way?
These questions will be answered at Linq’24, an innovative and groundbreaking event that focuses on the digital transformation of procurement and accounts payable. You can expect a unique day full of inspiration, knowledge sharing and networking, with people, processes and technology as the common thread throughout the event.
In just one day, you will get a complete overview of the latest product innovations from no fewer than 24 promising providers of Source to Pay technology. But that’s not all!
