Capture for Accounting


An Opportunity Accounting applications are far from saturated and there is still growth in Accounting that is slightly above capture market growth

.…growth will come from mid-market company adoption of accounts receivable and accounts payable solutions

Buyers with revenue between $500 million and $2 billion are later adopters for P2P suites;

most are greenfield opportunities

No single vendor dominates the ePurchasing market, leaving buyers with many choices among vendors that are hungry for business.

Gartner Magic Quadrant for P2P Suites, 2016We expect to see high-end capture functionality democratized over the coming

years, enabling midmarket customers to reap the benefits from capture that have required large enterprise budgets in the past.

Smaller buyers have less volume to deliver cost savings based on compliance to negotiated contracts, but still

benefit strongly from getting rid of paper and improving P2P process cycle times
