Benchmarks at every level of the
organization ? whether
enterprise, function or process ? identify
opportunities for both reducing needless expenses
and making the highest-impact investment decisions.

Kevin Ondracek
DuCharme, McMillen, &
Associates
Creating the cost
justification and Return on Investment (ROI) to
devote resources to bridge gaps is frequently a
challenging process. During this session, we will
explore how benchmarking can help to document a
company's
"as-is" process, help to identify current
operational strengths, and reveal potential
areas of improvement. Concepts and real-life
experiences will be shared to help quantify these
issues.

Katie McDonald
Per-Se' Technologies
This
session will examine the best practices used by
Per-Se' Technologies to maximize operational
efficiencies. Katie will talk about the contract and
billing processes that she has developed
utilizing Taxware's calculation and compliance
solutions to handle taxation on invoices. Learn how
Per-Se' Technologies was able to mitigate
non-compliance risk and gain control over their
business by vastly improving the accuracy of their
tax calculations and reporting.

A Case Study: Learn how TXU Energy,
one of the
nation's largest electric utilities with over $9
