PredictAP is the perfect solution for our instance of yardi. We perform 3rd party management for clients with their own accounting software and unless they integrate with PredictAP it is not a solution.

• It consolidates the budget after invoicing in a summary.
• All your receipts and invoices are managed on one platform.
• It is also a single platform to see all your P50's, P2P and order in one place (statement of work)
• It a good tool for managing projects.

• Reduces our payable process from days to minutes
• readily available historical records and vendor history
• turns our AP process from an administrative function to a review function

• The only thing I would like to see is that is can hold mutiple attachments under the language tab.
• I would like to see a function that allows all credentialing materials to be attached to Emptoris and sent to the next step as one complete package.

• Daily digest of emails submitted by a user. There is currently one for the whole organization, but users just want to see their own broken out.
• When invoices go into Yardi, the "created by" field should be the user's name who submitted, rather than "PredictAP". Would make searching in Yardi easier.

There are a lot of new, exciting products coming out in every field and I believe that there is always something better right over the horizon. If it was my choice, I would review my usage of Emptoris and other software periodically to make sure I'm using the most efficient software possible.

We eventually selected Apttus because of its close ties to Salesforce and quick implementation process. We were able to get the application installed and live in just a few weeks. For our purposes, it was a much better fit for us to generate and store contracts for our company without having to force a link to procurement.

This isn't really all that similar to PredictAP, as it is not a technology solution (yet). It's just an outsourcing of labor to a cheaper third-party supply. We like PredictAP because it is a technology solution where the AI capabilities grow with us over time.

• We won the 2005 Baseline Magazine Award for best ROI related to a technology implementation with an ROI 5544% (see 2005 Baseline ROI Awards, GlaxoSmithkline).
• We always felt we could do "two times the work, with half the people and deliver double the savings".

• Our focus was on time-saving on the AP input side and we have experienced that savings.
