Basware launched AI agent training to prepare accounts payable (AP) professionals for the future of finance.
“AI is reshaping AP, making the teams driving it more efficient and productive, but it will not replace them,” says Jason Kurtz, CEO, Basware. “Instead, it will free them from the mundane tasks of processing and paying and allow them to focus on strategic work that delivers bottom-line results. To get the most out of AI agents, organizations need to treat them as digital employees, and that means training people not just to use AI, but to manage it. Those who understand AI, know when to trust it and when to override it, and how to make it perform better over time will thrive.”
Key takeaways:
· Designed for AP clerks, invoice controllers, and finance team leaders, the Basware’s AI Certified program takes a supportive, practical, and non-technical approach to helping them learn to effectively manage and work alongside digital teammates integrated in their daily workflows.
· Participants can see first-hand how agents embedded in Basware’s Invoice Lifecycle Management platform handle rule-based tasks like data extraction, coding, and routing, while humans remain firmly in control, applying judgment where it matters most.
· Key learning outcomes include understanding what AI agents can and cannot do; identifying which tasks are automated vs. human-owned; performing day-to-day AP activities with AI assistance; building confidence in AI-driven workflows; and connecting today’s tools to the future of finance.
· Structured across three sections -- understanding AI, applying it in today’s workflows, and preparing for what’s next -- the Basware Certified Invoice AI Agent Professional course helps learners see their role expanding.
