Contrary to early excitement, Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment (EIPP) failed to meet its initial predictions. PayStream’s market study has uncovered a renaissance of interest in Web Invoicing & Electronic Payments solutions – especially applications that have been enhanced by Purchasing Card (P-Card) and approval workflow technologies. As organizations are seeking improved tools to solve their efficiency, regulatory and compliance issues, they are increasingly turning to invoicing automation to address these issues. “The number of invoices delivered through Web Invoicing solutions will exceed 6 billion over the next five years, translating to an impressive 31 percent compounded annual growth rate.” according to Sush Koka, Senior Research Analyst at PayStream. “We believe that Web Invoicing & Electronic payments solutions are gaining notable market traction driven by impressive Return on Investment metrics.” As companies continue to comprehend the benefits of Web Invoicing and Electronic Supplier Payment Automation, demand for these solutions is expanding considerably.
