About 2000 years ago, the Greek philosopher Heraclitus said, “The only thing that is constant is change.” That certainly rings true today, especially when it comes to IT initiatives. Companies are continually implementing, upgrading, and tuning their ERP systems. As a result, we frequently get pushback when it comes to AP automation. “We really want to automate accounts payable, but not until we migrate to the new version of fill-in-the-blank ERP.” This may be a sound strategy when it comes to some systems…but not when it comes to AP automation and especially AP Express.
Most AP automation implementations are based on fragile, file-based integrations. AP Express, however, is natively integrated with your ERP system. It communicates using web services and understands the structure of your ERP system and the required data elements. Moreover, it is maintained by us, eliminating the need for ongoing support from IT. Running on-premise and moving to the cloud? No problem. Native integration insulates you from platform changes. We’ve done the work to ensure that your AP automation initiative runs across all platforms. Migrating from on-premise to the cloud takes no more than a day.
The installation process for AP Express is automated and should take no longer than 4 hours. For questions and technical support, please email support@nivo1.com

There are plenty of sound business reasons not to wait as well.

Outside of work, employees are exposed to digital transformation initiatives every day. They know what is possible…and they expect their company to embrace solutions that will make their jobs more rewarding. Jobs with a high number of repetitive tasks give rise to boredom, poor on-the-job performance, and eventually turnover. AP Express allows employees to focus their efforts on problem solving and more challenging assignments, not rote data entry. Why make your AP suffer another 12 to 24 months while you upgrade your ERP system?
We conducted outreach calls to our customers over the past two weeks, just to check in with them to see how they were doing, and whether AP Express had fulfilled their expectations. Without exception, customers enthusiastically said it had. “It’s so much better now.” “We just love the system.” “We could never go back.” Those are just a few of the quotes we received.
Change is constant, and your business should not have to wait. Still a bit squeamish? Here’s our promise. Should you decide to change or upgrade your ERP system, we will re-implement AP Express on the new version of your ERP system at no charge.
Zero.
Zilch.
