As part of its Digital Transformation journey to more than 1,500 employees across seven offices , GBM reviewed all its legacy systems and one of the important areas for improvement was the company ’ s invoice and expense management system .
“ With over 30 years of experience , GBM required a partner that could help enhance the overall employee experience , and who could provide cloud capabilities and real-time analytics to empower us to become more cost-effective ,” said Feras Al Majed , VP Human Resources and Communications , GBM .
