Fortunately, there are ample signs to think that this is now a transitional situation, pending full dematerialization. To remain competitive in the market, however, companies must be able to manage their documents more and more efficiently by orchestrating all sources, which have become as heterogeneous as possible. SAP VIM (Vendor Invoice Management) can help companies optimize document management<\/strong> and offers numerous benefits when integrated with the rest of the SAP ecosystem. <\/p>\n
