At the recent North American Basware Connect conference, both Spend Matters and IDC took note of the importance of this year’s theme “Visible Commerce.” Here’s what they had to say.
Basware Connect conferences are annual events designed specifically for Procurement, Finance, and Accounts Payable professionals to come together and learn about the latest trends in their fields.
Visible Commerce
This year, Basware Connect North America focused on the idea of “Visible Commerce,” an idea that promotes the collaboration of technology and data to make better businesses and better people.
