Organizations across the globe are undertaking digital transformation (DX) journeys to maximize employee productivity, reduce operating expenses, and improve business performance. One of the primary steps taken by organizations on this DX journey is making investments in cloud enterprise applications to automate their business processes. In particular, expense, travel, and invoice management applications are an obvious investment choice to quickly transform business processes by increasing compliance and bringing a large amount of organization spend under management.
