In today’s fast‑moving environment, finance teams face mounting pressure to keep payments secure, efficient, and compliant - while contending with fragmentation, digital disruption, and rising expectations. Yet despite advances in technology, automation remains limited. According to Overcoming Operational Hurdles: The Role of Technology in Finance Management by National Technology News, only 11% of organisations have automated more than 90% of their finance processes, leaving substantial gaps in control and efficiency.

To stay ahead, organisations must take deliberate command of their payments operations.

Join John Rodgers, Corporate Payments & Cash Management Leader at Bottomline, for a focused session designed for senior finance and payments professionals. He’ll explore how businesses can regain strategic oversight, strengthen resilience, and transform the way they manage payments amid ongoing disruption.
