Andrew Dey, from Barclays, which is a UK-based, Global Fortune 100 financial services company, will speak about the e-billing implementation challenges facing companies "across the pond," including working within the regulatory constraints of the EU E-billing Directive and best practices around change management to ensure adoption by law firms and internal users.
