Esker Software, worldwide provider of solutions to automate delivery of business documents, and ReadSoft, global market leader in automated data and document capture, have formed a worldwide alliance.
The partners will provide users of SAP solutions and other enterprise systems with total solutions for automating key business processes and improving profitability. Esker and ReadSoft are members of the SAP Software Partner programme.
Many providers of goods and services continue to depend on the manual processing and physical transport of paper business documents. Paper-based information exchange impacts any process-procurement of materials, production of goods for sale, invoicing and collection of payment. Productivity and efficiency decline, costs rise, and most significant, the cash conversion cycle - the gap between expenditures for purchases made and receipt of payment for products sold-widens dramatically, swallowing profitability.
Esker and ReadSoft together offer Esker DeliveryWare Platform and ReadSoft INVOICES - both SAP integration-certified - as a total solution to automate these processes and renew productivity, reduce costs, and accelerate cash conversion. Esker DeliveryWare Platform 3.0 is certified on BC-CON (SAPconnect-communication, fax and e-mail software interface) and valid for SAP R/3Release 3.1 to 4.6. ReadSoft Eyes & Hands INVOICES 1.0 is certified to R/3 Release 4.6.
ReadSoft INVOICES captures and perfects data from incoming documents - paper or electronic - and directs them to SAP R/3 or other enterprise applications, eliminating manual data entry and reducing account processing time by as much as 75%. Esker DeliveryWare Platform delivers outbound documents-RFQs, POs, invoices, etc - to trading partners and customers in any required format - e-mail, XML, fax, Web, mail-on-demand, and more.
"Bringing together Esker`s industry-leading output management and ReadSoft`s award-winning input management technology, our partnership dramatically improves the way organizations exchange and manage their most critical business documents. The result is they see lower costs, higher productivity, and a stronger bottom line," says Bob Fresneda, president of ReadSoft.
Adds Steve Broadway, VP of business development at Esker: "Our joint solution gives enterprises a unique opportunity to re-examine and optimise those business processes that most immediately impact profitability-the procurement and fulfilment processes that generate hard cash. Organisations implementing Esker-ReadSoft solutions typically see payback in less than a year and a high return on investment for years to come."
