Vendor Portals: Self-Service Invoice Delivery [New Corcentric Blog Post]

Corcentric's latest blog post discusses the importance of vendor participation in accounts payable automation solutions.

2013-06-01

MCLEAN, VA, June 01, 2013 (Press-News.org) Corcentric, a leading provider of Accounts Payable automation and electronic invoicing solutions, uses this week's blog to show the advantages in time and money by implementing an e-invoicing solution that includes a vendor portal.

AP managers know how much time their staff spends every month answering vendor phone calls concerning invoice payments. Vendor portals can dramatically reduce that time. Instead of calling your AP staff with questions about invoice status, vendors can use the AP automation solution's vendor portal to access the information they need, 24/7. These portals also afford them the opportunity to submit their invoices electronically, saving them time and money as well. The blog points out the potential barriers to getting vendor participation, as well as detailing what companies should look for when deciding on a SaaS provider vendor portal solution.

The Corcentric blog is a knowledge center for accounts payable professionals to explore automation best practices along with the latest trends and news in financial process automation.

Sleep deprived men over perceive women's sexual interest and intent

2013-05-31

DARIEN, IL – A new study suggests that one night of sleep deprivation leads to an increase in men's perceptions of both women's interest in and intent to have sex. Results show that when they were well-rested, both men and women rated the sexual intent of women as significantly lower than that of men. However, following one night of sleep deprivation, men's rating of women's sexual intent and interest increased significantly, to the extent that women were no longer seen as having lower sexual intent than men. Sleep deprivation had no significant effect on variables related ...

Studies link fatigue and sleep to MLB performance and career longevity

2013-05-31

DARIEN, IL – Two new studies show that fatigue may impair strike-zone judgment during the 162 game Major League Baseball season, and a MLB player's sleepiness can predict his longevity in the league. One study found that MLB players' strike-zone judgment was worse in September than in April in 24 of 30 teams. When averaged across all teams, strike-zone judgment was significantly worse in September compared with April. The statistical model demonstrated strong predictive value through the season. "Plate discipline - as measured by a hitter's tendency to swing at pitches ...

New technique alleviates painful bone metastases

2013-05-31

CHICAGO, IL (May 29, 2013)—A high-dose of ultrasound targeted to painful bone metastases appears to quickly bring patients relief, and with largely tolerable side effects, according to new research presented by Fox Chase Cancer Center scientists at the 49th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology on Monday, June 3. During the procedure, known as MR-guided focused ultrasound, doctors direct a concentrated beam of energy to specific nerve endings that are causing pain in bone metastases. These patients typically have a significant amount of discomfort—half ...

Researchers narrow the search for biomarkers of drug resistance in head and neck cancer patients

2013-05-31

CHICAGO, IL (May 29, 2013)—Researchers from Fox Chase Cancer Center will present data at the 49th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology on Saturday, June 1, which shows the discovery of potential biomarkers that may be used to identify patients with head and neck cancer whose tumors are unlikely to respond to treatment by the targeted therapy cetuximab—a type of monoclonal antibody. The FDA approved the drug, in combination with radiation or as a second-line drug after chemotherapy had failed, in 2006. In 2011, the drug was approved as a first-line ...

Researchers investigate a less toxic radiation treatment for HPV-Positive oropharynx cancer

CHICAGO, IL (May 29, 2013)—Researchers from Fox Chase Cancer Center and other institutions have completed a phase II clinical trial that may help identify those patients with HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer who do not require the full radiation dose given in a standard regimen of Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). Preliminary findings will be presented by Shanthi Marur, first author on the study and an oncologist at the Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, at the 49th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology on Sunday, ...

New therapy is tolerable in lung cancer

2013-05-31

CHICAGO, IL (May 28, 2013)—A promising new therapy for the most common form of lung cancer appears to produce largely manageable side effects, and an ongoing clinical trial is determining whether the compound treats tumors more effectively than what's on the market, according research that scientists at Fox Chase Cancer Center will present at the 49th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology on Saturday, June 1. "We're very excited about this drug," says Hossein Borghaei, DO, chief of thoracic medical oncology at Fox Chase. "I think if we learn how ...

Many solid tumors carry genetic changes targeted by existing compounds

2013-05-31

CHICAGO, IL (May 28, 2013)—Nearly two-thirds of solid tumors carry at least one mutation that may be targeted, or medicated, by an existing compound, according to new findings from researchers Fox Chase Cancer Center that will be presented at the 49th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology on June 3. The results suggest that it may one day become commonplace for doctors to sequence tumors before deciding on a treatment regimen. "Extended sequencing of a patient's tumor is not something that's routinely done now," says study author Patrick Boland, ...

Bright light therapy may improve sleep and promote recovery in patients with mild TBI

2013-05-31

DARIEN, IL – A new study suggests that bright light therapy may improve sleep, cognition, emotion and brain function following mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Results show that six weeks of morning bright light therapy resulted in a marked decrease in subjective daytime sleepiness. This improvement was further associated with improvements in the propensity to fall asleep and nighttime sleep quality. Bright light therapy also affected depressive symptoms. "Our preliminary data suggests that morning bright light therapy might be helpful to reduce subjective daytime ...

No need to battle with cattle

2013-05-31

A new study by the Wildlife Conservation Society's Animal & Human Health for the Environment And Development (AHEAD) Program, World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and regional partners finds that a new approach to beef production in southern Africa could positively transform livelihoods for farmers and pastoralists, while helping to secure a future for wildlife and wildlife-based tourism opportunities. Market access for livestock and livestock products from Africa is constrained by the presence of foot and mouth disease (FMD). Fear of the FMD virus largely precludes large-scale ...
