Four years following its introduction, BlackLine, Inc.'s Modern Accounting Playbook (MAP) marked its 1,000th customer.
The bundled software and services offerings are designed to help companies get up and running quickly and realise immediate value on BlackLine’s market-leading financial close and invoice-to-cash solutions.
The playbook's processes and practices enable organisations to streamline, control, and modernise their accounting operations and be up and running in as little as five days.
By applying a combination of native cloud technology, a vast library of pre-configured leading-practices templates, and a highly optimized delivery model, BlackLine MAP can drastically reduce implementation time and accelerate time-to-value.
“We’ve created a playbook for rapid success, based on our extensive experience working with thousands of leading companies over the past 20 years," says Owen Ryan, BlackLine Co-CEO. "BlackLine MAP’s continuing rise in popularity is a testament to its unique methodology and approach making it among the quickest ways to shave time off the close and free working capital, slashing workloads and bolstering financial statement integrity.”
“When a customer needs to automate more financial close or invoice-to-cash processes as business volume and complexity increases or prepare for significant milestones like an IPO or acquisition, with MAP, they have the foundation in place to tackle any growth milestone they may encounter.”
The MAP solution offerings bundle BlackLine’s award-winning products, leading practices, and implementation services with comprehensive knowledge around ERP integration, data extraction, task checklists, ready-to-go process templates, rules-based automation, reports, dashboards, and approval flows to modernise and enhance accounting processes.
BlackLine MAP also initiates and accelerates the customer's accounting modernisation journey and scales with optimisation efforts for expansive growth and continuous enhancement.
Since first releasing MAP for Financial Close, BlackLine has added MAP for Cash Application to enable customers to rapidly optimise their invoice-to-cash processes and introduced the 5-Day Fast Track, the industry’s first and only five-day implementation so organizations can be up and running on BlackLine in time for their next month-end close.
