[Audio] Today, we will be taking a journey through time to witness the birth of a legacy that has shaped commerce as we know it. We will be delving into Act I: The Past – Lord Basware’s Vision, which takes us back to the year 1888 when the very first invoice was sent by Lord Basware through the revolutionary Pantelegraph. This simple transaction had a profound impact, paving the way for the Invoice Lifecycle and changing the course of commerce forever. Today, Basware's Invoice Lifecycle Management continues to embody our commitment to innovation and efficiency. However, as the world evolves, so must our methods of conducting business. In the modern era, invoices have become much more than just pieces of paper; they now serve as gateways to global connectivity and efficiency. As we look towards the future, we must continue to push boundaries and embrace daring innovation. The year 2025 holds exciting possibilities for the future of commerce, and we must not be complacent. So, let us embrace change and make it our ally as we look towards a brighter tomorrow. Thank you for joining us on this journey, and stay tuned as we explore the present and future in the remaining Acts of the Chronicles of Invoice..

[Audio] In this segment, we will discuss Julia's experience in the present with Basware. In the past, Julia spent her days chasing invoices, fixing mistakes, and dealing with exceptions. With the help of Basware, she has entered the era of Autonomous Accounts Payable. No longer burdened by manual tasks, Julia and her team now have the time and resources to analyze and make decisions rather than just processing. Basware's Intelligent Invoice Management (ILM) platform has evolved to provide more than just automation, it now offers autonomy. This has resulted in over $13 million in operational expense savings and an additional $5 million saved from avoiding duplicate payments. In a short span of 6 months, the touchless invoice rate has reached an impressive 70%. Julia's story is not unique, but reflects the journey of many others. It is a collective experience. Together, we can continue to write the next chapter in this story. Managing invoices is no longer a mundane task, but a story of meaningful engagement, personal growth, and working together to create new chapters. Let's continue on this journey and see how Basware can revolutionize your invoice management. Act III will focus on the future of Basware and the possibilities it holds. Thank you..
