Abstract
SSON’s 2022 AR Pulse Check survey of 103 Shared Services and Outsourcing (SSO), Global Business Services (GBS), and Finance leaders reveals that 50% of the market surveyed has invested in cloud. However, 26% of the surveyed market is currently deliberating while another 23% has no plans to transition.
And yet, whether they’ve invested in cloud solutions or not, it’s clear that AR teams are struggling to reduce manual administration and streamline customer contact. The survey reports approximately 85% of respondents are still manually matching payments with remittance. Another 87% identified phone or email as the primary customer contact method.
The survey reveals that regardless of investment in cloud solutions, there’s a disconnect between customer needs and the business processes set-up to support AR. To bridge the gap, what’s needed is a platform that reduces manual processes to improve cash flow and improves customer collection.
