Press release – 16 September 2019

Founded in 1985, Esker works with more than 11,000 companies worldwide, helping financial and customer service departments digitally transform their order-to-cash (O2C) and purchase-to-pay (P2P) cycles. Esker’s solutions incorporate AI technology to drive increased productivity, enhanced visibility, reduce fraud risk and improved collaboration with customers and suppliers.

Sam Townsend, Head of Marketing – Northern Europe at Esker says the company is pleased to be partnering with the largest professional credit management organisation in the world:

“Working with the CICM will enable us to reach credit professionals at the forefront of the industry. We are keen to share our experiences and better understand the requirements of members from every aspect of the credit and collections lifecycle. Our strength lies in the ability to ease the digital transformation of managing credit and collections with minimum disruption to the overall process, and by engaging and listening to our partnership members we can continue to progress and remain a trusted leading advisor in the field.

“In conjunction with the CICM, we will be looking at running some webinars and seminar sessions for members in the coming months focussing on the way in which the latest collections management technologies can help companies embrace digital transformation without replacing their core collections processes by eliminating manual collection pains, accelerating payments and empowering the AR department.

“Through sharing our knowledge and expertise with members that wish to harness these technological advancements, we will help bring benefits to them and their customers.”

Sue Chapple, CICM Director of Strategic Relationships, says: “We are delighted to welcome Esker as a new partner. Its advanced technological knowledge and expertise will provide CICM members with access to digital transformation advice and insight.”
