Some of the highlights of our report are included below, along with a downloadable Executive Summary. The race for adoption: EIPP vs. EBPP EIPP will soon attain equal footing with its technological cousin EBPP and potentially surpass it. Currently, only 10% of Fortune 1000 companies have adopted B2B electronic payment and presentment (EIPP) compared with a 13% adoption rate for EBPP. Future growth for EIPP, however, looks bullish. Forty percent (40%) of these same companies plan to investigate or implement this technology in the near future. Only twenty-seven percent (27%) of the companies plan to investigate or implement EBPP during the same time period. Clearly, opportunities exist for both EBPP and EIPP vendors in the future, but B2B payment and presentment may be the best opportunity for the long run. Adopters clearly understand perceived benefits When asked directly about the perceived advantages/benefits of adopting EIPP, companies gave us some interesting responses. Especially interesting was the divergence between managers in Accounts Receivable (AR) departments and those in Accounts Payable (AP). The buyer centric AP group listed the EIPP benefits as cost reduction, eliminating processing errors and improving speed, in that order. The more seller centric AR respondents agreed that speed was a major benefit. In fact, they ranked it first on their list on benefits. They also mentioned reduced errors and the ability to improve cash flow forecasting as additional benefits to be gleaned from EIPP adoption.
