ASPEN 360 AP-Straight Through Edition vs In-house Systems

On the surface, the initial up-front investment in an in-house accounts payable automation system may seem manageable, but the underlying costs of ongoing system upgrades, infrastructure investments and personnel requirements can quickly spiral out of control. In fact, the total expenditure over a three year period is estimated to be six to ten times the initial hardware and software cost.

Accounts Payable Automation and AP Imaging and Workflow Automation Comparison

Archive Systems frees you from the risks, hidden costs, high failure rates, and extended implementation timeframes of in-house accounts payable automation systems. ASPEN 360 AP-Straight Through Edition's (AP-STE) On-Demand model transforms your business, enabling you to start with results, not infrastructure. It can be implemented in a matter of days, in stark contrast to the extended timeframes involved with traditional in-house systems.
