Challenge

The health system established aggressive AP transformation goals.

A HIPAA-compliant apexportal® now provides touchless registration and data validation, e-invoicing, early pay discounting, self-service inquiry and supplier collaboration tools. The portal’s flexible business rules support a fully automated, custom compliance process that aligns with complex federal healthcare regulations. In addition, apexanalytix smartvm® predictive analytics were used to clean and enrich 22 million existing supplier records. apexanalytix specialists also conducted an accounts payable audit—quickly recovering enough funds to pay for the portal implementation.
