We were really focused on solutions that were approved by Workday. Ascend’s user interface really feels like Workday’s to us. It's very natural to go to certain fields and say, ‘Okay, this is what it means in Workday, so this is what it means in Ascend.’ To me, it felt very instinctive.

After a three-company review, we automated our AP process with Ascend. Compared to the other two companies, Ascend was by far the easiest to use.

Ascend feeds into Workday so well, we don’t even have to think about it. If something works so well that it doesn’t even demand your attention, well to me that’s when you have your most success.

The process efficiency and visibility that we get with Ascend is key. Having PO data extracted automatically and the PO image and PDF to match to the invoice is a big gain for us. We used to have piles and piles of invoices and the process has become much, much faster.

In 2016, Ascend embarked on a journey to become the first Certified Solution Partner for Accounts Payable imaging and automation for Workday’s Financial Management platform. Workday software engineers conducted an in-depth analysis of the performance, functionality, and integration of our Accounts Payable automation solutions. SmartTouch AP™ was extensively examined by Workday to ensure it met the same reliability and security standards that customers have come to expect from Workday.
This partnership ensures coordinated product version releases for pre-release testing and fine-tuning – which means you can be confident that updates to Workday or SmartTouch AP™ will not cause any downtime or system interruptions for you and your team.
