INTRODUCTION

While automated accounts receivable management software is not a new business technology, it has become increasingly popular in recent years as more and more businesses realize the value of an optimized A/R management process. While many see the need for and benefits of process automation, they still have reservations about making the switch from the manual processes they’ve always known to an automated solution.

In the years since we developed Anytime Collect A/R management software, we’ve talked with hundreds of CFOs, credit managers, controllers, collectors, and IT managers about their hesitation to automate, and we’ve found that all businesses typically share the same fears:

• That automation will be too drastic a change.
• That cloud based automation is not secure.
• That automation is too expensive for most businesses.
• That automation takes away control of the process.
• That automation is too difficult to use and implement.

Interestingly enough, we have also found that after getting those fears out in the open and doing a little research, businesses usually realize that there is nothing to fear about automation
at all. We think you’ll feel the same way after reading through this guide.
