Digital finance transformation leader is the
only company recognized for both Invoice to Cash and Record
to Report in 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ study
LOS
ANGELES, May 13, 2024 /CNW/ -- Global technology
research and advisory firm Information Services Group (ISG) has
named BlackLine, Inc. (Nasdaq: BL) a leader in two categories
– Invoice to Cash (I2C) and Record to Report (R2R) – in its latest
Provider Lens™ study that assesses platform providers for their
ability to help businesses transform and manage finance and
accounting (F&A) operations.
The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ Global Finance and Accounting
Platforms report evaluates the capabilities of 22 providers across
two quadrants. BlackLine is the only company identified as a leader
in both:
- Invoice to Cash, covering providers that deliver
platforms encompassing the entire accounts receivable spectrum,
leveraging cutting-edge technology such as AI, machine learning,
and robotic process automation to revolutionize how businesses
approach receivables, enabling decision-making with predictive
analytics, optimizing customer payment behaviors, and ensuring
seamless cash flow management.
- Record to Report, covering providers encompassing the
entire financial recording and reporting process from the initial
recording of transactions and events to delivering financial
insights and reports. More than just tools for financial
recordkeeping and reporting, these platforms are vital instruments
for strategic financial management.
In the report, lead author and ISG analyst Gaurang Pagdi notes,
"The emergence of F&A platforms stands at the forefront of
innovation, indicating a transformation in how businesses manage
their fiscal operations. As organizations grapple with an
increasingly complex financial environment marked by global
economic fluctuations, stringent regulatory demands, and the push
for transparency, such platforms have become indispensable. They
facilitate efficiency and provide strategic insight, enabling
companies to navigate the uncertainties of financial management
with agility and informed foresight."
Pagdi goes on to say, "BlackLine's extended F&A ecosystem
enables the modernization of traditional finance operations by
delivering cohesive solutions that span critical functions. Its
unified I2C platform streamlines invoicing and collections,
enhancing cash flow and customer relations. Concurrently, the
comprehensive R2R processes automate and refine financial
reporting, ensuring accuracy and compliance. This holistic approach
not only elevates operational efficiency but also empowers
businesses with real-time insights for strategic decision-making,
fostering sustainable growth."
