Course Description
Every finance team believes their ERP workflows are “pretty efficient” — until they see the data.
We analyzed hundreds of ERP and NetSuite users across finance, manufacturing, wholesale, and software. The results were consistent — and alarming. The average finance professional loses 19 workdays a year just managing documents and emails inside their ERP.
In this interactive LIVE benchmarking session, you’ll compare your own finance workflows against real-world data, uncover where your team is losing ROI, and learn how leading organizations are closing the gap.
We’ll explore the top time and compliance drains in financial document management — from manual approvals to missing audit trails — and show how integrated, intelligent document management systems can reclaim productivity, reduce risk, and strengthen governance.
This session includes a live quiz and benchmarking exercise so you can see exactly where your organization stands — and the steps to improve immediately.
Learning Objectives
After attending this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify the most common workflow inefficiencies in finance operations, including document handling, version control, approvals, and audit readiness.
- Quantify the hidden productivity and financial costs of unstructured document workflows — and understand how they lead to compliance risk.
- Compare their organization’s document and email management processes against benchmark data from hundreds of ERP-enabled finance teams.
- Evaluate how integrated document management inside an ERP (such as NetSuite) improves data accuracy, reduces manual workload, and enhances audit confidence.
- Outline practical next steps to reclaim up to 19 workdays per employee annually through workflow automation and centralized, contextual data.
