IT Implementation • Create benefits for IT • Define integration point • Enable display of transactions available to be financed: into a supplier ’ s system (i.e. marketplace environment) into an invoice matching system (i.e. buyer side) into a different system (i.e. BPO compatible) • Standards • Interoperability • Funds reimbursement • BPO opportunity • Integration speed
