Eliminate Data Entry in A/P Dept's with SimpleCapture & SharePoint Webinar

Manually processing forms and documents like invoices, PO's, way bills and other complex documents often means lot’s of data entry, typo's and piles of work everyday. When every document is a One-Off, keying the information manually is counter productive! Most capture software requires building a unique template for each vendor or document type - that is time consuming, costly, highly technical - and automated volume based capture systems can't cut it with One-Off's.

Watch as SimpleCapture can easily capture and process fields of data from invoices, PO's, resumes, way bills and other complex documents including line item detail and export images and data into Microsoft SharePoint during this live presentation.

Increase Revenue & Cash Flow, Reduce Costs & Ensuring Compliance - Capture, Archive, Workflow &  Fax Solutions  Seminar

CIO's top expectations of how IT should Impact the Enterprise
# 1 - Enable business innovation 64%
# 2 - Improve External Customer Satisfaction 50%
# 3 - Reduce Business Costs 47%

Boost Productivity, Eliminate Manual Data Entry, Meet Compliance Regulations & Reduce Costs in paper intensive departments like A/P, H/R & others and integrate the information with any content repository like Open Text Document Server, Alchemy Edition or Microsoft SharePoint.

Attend & Learn how to reduce costs and streamline the processes. We'll illustrate the automation benefits and cost savings in a paper intensive Accounts Payable department (but any high volume document driven business would benefit). A/P is a high-demand application. PO's, bills and invoices are documents that all industries send and receive frequently - at a significant cost. According to a IOMA (Institute of Management & Administration) industry survey, 65% of all companies report they process over 10,000 invoices a year and process on average 20-200 A/P documents weekly. Organizations with similar volumes can both benefit and justify an investment in automating these processes and forms.

A/P DEPT. EXAMPLE:
A/P departments can be the catalyst to DRIVE COMPANY PROFITS simply by managing paper flow. 90% of accounts payable processes are paper-reliant - how can you efficiently manage it all? Consider what it takes to process invoices in a busy A/P department. Data entry, 2-way and 3-way matching of Invoices, PO's and Shipping slips are error prone and time consuming. Would we interest you if we could make the data entry dramatically reduced? How about document matching electronically, or ensuring your approval process didn't get side stepped, or retrieving your key documents electronically. You might not go to the filing cabinet again. Even productive departments will benefit from automation, given how information is gathered, shared, updated, stored and retrieved in most companies.
We'll demonstrate the huge upside potential of fewer errors, better customer / vendor service and a managed process that's reliable.
We'll demonstrate automation that'll help you manage the increasing amount of paper you're process daily with room for growth.
