IPS, a global leader in accounts payable automation, announced a partnership with Mediaocean, the mission-critical platform for omnichannel advertising. The partnership formalizes the longstanding relationship between IPS and Mediaocean. It also builds on IPS’ position as the global leader in media payables. Eight of the nine largest advertising agency holding companies in the world use IPS to process the invoices they receive from suppliers.
“Mediaocean is excited to formalize its relationship with IPS,” commented Mediaocean Senior Vice President of Business Development Fraser Woollard. “The IPS AP Automation Solution addresses a major gap in today’s media finance departments by automating invoice processing tasks and reducing the friction caused by invoice discrepancies. The efficiencies provided by IPS and Mediaocean ease the burden on media finance departments to find skilled people to perform this work.”
Tightly integrating the IPS AP Automation Solution with Mediaocean’s buyer workflow (Prisma) makes it easy for advertising agencies to automate their media payables from end-to-end, across all channels, while laying the groundwork for further improvements in media payables.
