MSDW Podcast: What Dynamics 365 F&O Users Need to Know About Embedded vs External AP Automation

This episode is sponsored by SignUp Software.

For Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain management users, the decision between embedded and external accounts payable (AP) automation solutions can have a lasting impact on the organization. To understand the topic further, we spoke with Rob Ashe, Vice President of North America at SignUp Software, and David Huether, Chief Commercial Officer at Next365 for North America, about their organizations' experiences partnering on Dynamics 365 projects and what they are learning from finance leaders implementing AP automation solutions.

Customers want to invest in AP automation that delivers both greater efficiency and better operating conditions like improved security, integration, and consistency for user experiences.

The partnership between SignUp Software and Next365 is providing unique results in areas like process assessment and optimization, executive-level advisory scenarios, and implementation acceleration. For example, David shared a case study from the energy sector where Next365 helped a client replace an outdated industry-standard system with SignUp's ExFlow, achieving a lower total cost of ownership while improving functionality and reducing vendor lock-in.

Our guests also discuss some of the key market drivers that will propel their partnership forward, specifically around the needs of CFOs building more complex and constrained organizations. They also offer D365 users some ideas for the future around financial performance and how to start making measurable steps forward in modernizing AP.
