AI and automation are no longer optional, they’re essential. But for many businesses, the biggest challenge isn't whether to invest in AI, it's figuring out how to start the journey.
If you're stuck at the strategy stage, you're not alone. We speak to business leaders every day who are excited by the potential of AI but feel unsure how to approach it. Should you focus on quick wins? Go all-in on digital transformation? How do you build a business case that unites stakeholders across finance, procurement, and operations?
That’s where Esker comes in and why it should be on your radar right now.

Start Smart: Why strategy is the critical first step

AI done right can drive game-changing results, accelerated cash flow, streamlined procurement, better supplier and customer experiences. But many organisations stumble because they treat AI as a plug-and-play solution, not a strategic shift.
Our AI For Business Ltd onsite workshops are specifically designed to support companies in this early phase. We help you:

• Build strong boardroom governance
• Assess your organisational readiness
• Develop a realistic roadmap aligned to business goals
• Identify priority use cases across Source-to-Pay and Order-to-Cash
• Bring cross-functional teams on the transformation journey

This strategic groundwork ensures that when you move to implementation, you’re set up for real, measurable success.

End-to-End Coverage: A Unique Advantage
