KPS initial strategy

For the instant implementation of travel expense processes, we have developed the Initial Release Strategy. It is based on the KPS Instant Transformation Method and is specifically optimised for the use case. I would like to explain what it is all about and why the process offers business-critical advantages for every company.
CFO Focus

CFO Focus

CFO: Environment and Sustainability

In the past, the CFO has been somewhat distant from the environment and sustainability issues impacting their enterprises. As a result, their level of involvement has been minimal, but that is about to change radically. As businesses move into the post-pandemic phase of their development, CFOs must focus on how sustainability and the environment now impact every aspect of their enterprise’s processes, and directly affect profitability.

Over the past few years, we’ve seen a significant increase in the number of intelligent web-bots that target specific e-commerce websites. At the very least these bots are an annoyance, and at the very worst they can effectively cause a DDoS attack and take a website down.
