Mickey North Rizza is Featured Speaker in Ketera’s Cash Management Webinar

The Untapped Value of Cash Management – October 7th @ 2 PM ET

San Jose, Calif. Sept. 30, 2010 – Ketera Technologies, industry-leading provider of On Demand Spend Management solutions and the online Ketera Network™ business community, announced today that Mickey North Rizza, Research Director, Gartner Research, will be a featured speaker in their upcoming webinar titled The Untapped Value of Cash Management.  The session, jointly led by Leslie Cedar, Ketera Vice President of Business Development, will make the case for proactive cash management through a review of research findings, case studies, and best practice solutions.   

The webinar is scheduled for Thursday, October 7, 2010 at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET, and online registration is currently available.  

“Better cash management can significantly improve critical working capital strength in many organizations,” said North Rizza. “Early payment discounts offer a considerable source of value that is often overlooked by companies affected by poor or disorganized payment and invoice management methods. The powerful combination of financial payments innovations with the efficiencies of modern Sourcing and Procurement solutions is changing the scale of these savings opportunities.” 

The Untapped Value of Cash Management will address the difficulties that many companies face due to slow and inefficient payment processes.  It will review in detail the latest innovations in payment and discount methodology and demonstrate how an improvement in the payment process can help businesses optimize their returns.

We selected the Ketera eRFX tool because it is quick to implement, cost effective and drives efficiencies into the sourcing process.  Its portal design streamlines the communication, document traffic and analysis associated with conducting our RFPs.  The entire Ketera package has allowed us to run more events with fewer resources, leading to increased procurement efficiencies.
