Chicago, United States - February 26, 2020 /PressCable/ —

Palette and Project Hosts have published a whitepaper outlining the 16 operating procedures and best practices every bank requires for offering secure AP Automation and Purchase to Pay SaaS services.

New technologies are driving innovation and disrupting financial services faster than ever before. In the face of FinTech start-ups encroaching upon established markets, executives are demanding more from their IT departments.

Many financial services organizations are digitally transforming their operations by deploying state-of-the-art technologies for fraud prevention, business processes improvement, regulatory compliance, and spend management. One target of FinTech is the elimination of paper processes and lengthy approval cycles with accounts payable automation.

As well, Purchase to Pay platforms allow companies to control, regulate, and automate their indirect purchasing policies.

“Financial services institutions are uniquely positioned to take advantage of client demand for integrated invoicing and payment services,” said Michael Cichy, Palette Software, “Providing AP automation and Purchase to Pay automation gives banks access to a new and exciting range of services to attract new clients, increase retention, and maintain a competitive edge.”

Palette and Project Hosts have made available SecureCloud P2P, an ultra-secure white label AP Automation and Purchase to Pay cloud service for banks and financial institutions. The two companies came together to design and deploy both private and public cloud environments offering unparalleled uptime, infrastructure, security, compliance, and support.

Following a risk-based approach with multiple layers of security and best practices, SecureCloud P2P’s host environment encompasses a set of 16 necessary operating procedures and practices that continuously evolve according to industry trends and regulatory policies.
