Written by Basware Representative | Aug 11, 2025 1:06:11 PM

Your SAP Cloud ERP migration is also your best opportunity to modernize AP – and you don't have to wait for go-live to start seeing returns.

This strategic guide shows finance and IT leaders how to keep SAP's clean core intact while running intelligent AP automation across the entire enterprise – including entities not yet on SAP Cloud ERP.

In this guide you'll learn:

  • Why the architectural decision to externalize AP is easiest and cheapest to make while the ERP blueprint is still open.
  • How customers like Heidelberg Materials, KION Group, and Imerys accelerated SAP rollouts by moving AP complexity outside the core.
  • What to look for in an invoice lifecycle management (ILM) platform – and the questions to ask in a proof of concept.
  • How to build the business case across IT and finance, with a migration timing worksheet to align both teams.
