The Basware partnership will strengthen HCL’s P2P solution to enable customers to substantially reduce invoice processing time and maximise straight-through processing with minimal manual intervention.

Additionally, the flexibility of the Basware solution to support 19 languages and adapt to local variations of customers’ accounts payable process and regulatory environment will enable HCL to implement the solution in multiple geographies.
