Basware Bespoke took place at the end of April and marked the launch of our latest innovation, AP Protect. Aside from that, during the event, we provided updates on the Basware community, our evolving compliance offering, and what success planning looks like in practice. Read more and watch the highlights below.
Business Update: Basware Outlook for 2024
To kick off our event, our CEO, Jason Kurtz, and CFO, Mara Nurminen, updated us on Basware’s recent developments and the strategic direction for the upcoming months. Not to bury the lead, the focus remains unwavering on enhancing customer value and helping you achieve 100% touchless invoice processing.
To that end, we continue to invest heavily in AI through our solutions, people, and partnerships. 2024 has marked the release of some amazing Basware AI-powered capabilities, but the best is yet to come. We are also investing in the Basware Customer Community and announced our first large-scale customer event since the pandemic: The Basware Premier Customer Event.
Product Innovation: Launch of AP Protect
Next, Perttu Nihit, Basware's Chief Product Officer, launched AP Protect, our latest innovation for protecting organizations against financial losses. The underlying technology behind AP Protect is a tried-and-tested suite of tools that have proven their value to hundreds of organizations and protected over $1.6 trillion in spending.
During the launch, Dea Sozokol-Humay from Roche joined us to explain how AP Protect bolstered the Roche organization since its implementation almost seven years ago.
Thought Leadership: Compliance 2024 and Beyond
Next, Jason and our VP of Global Compliance, Marcus Hornberg, had a wide-ranging conversation about the evolving compliance landscape. They discussed adapting to new government regulations, the strategic importance of proactive compliance measures, and, most importantly, why a holistic perspective is required when tackling this topic rather than a tactical market-by-market approach.
Success Planning: Customer Interview with Cytiva
The final segment of Bespoke focused on the importance of strategic value success planning. It featured an interview with Michal Bobyla, Senior Product Manager at Cytiva. Michal discussed Cytiva's successful collaboration with the Basware Customer Success team and how this has significantly enhanced their operational efficiencies and value realization from Basware solutions.
