Over the last 15 years, Cforia has been keeping track of Working Capital Improvements realized through Order-to-Cash (OTC) Best Practices used by Cforia clients within ten critical areas and will share the findings at the ICTF event. The newest version of the Cforia.connect Collaborative Knowledgebase, which allows Cforia’s global user community to share best practice reports and process workflows via a secured social network.  Cforia.connect is a repository of proven best practice workflows that have delivered significant benefits to their client companies.  Any Cforia customer may now benefit from the collective knowledgebase of the global user community and change OTC processes and priorities in minutes.

Cforia will also provide insights from the recently released white paper published in the Credit Research Foundation (CRF) Business Journal at the ICTF Symposium. The article, written by Caparon, focuses on the huge cost of Deductions in the U.S. today. Using conservative Deductions averages and taking the United States Federal Reserve 2015 Q1 calculation for “Non-Financial Business; Trade Receivables; Assets” of $3.422 Trillion dollars, Deductions represent a $34.4B to $171.1B annual problem, in the U.S. alone.
