Over the past three years, the digitization of business processes has become an ad hoc project for many SMEs.
The consequences of patchy digitization and how BlackLine's holistic approach to automation is making a difference to corporate finance departments.
Kendox, a specialist in the digitization of office and administration, has acquired DM, a provider of document management systems based in Puchheim near Munich.
