Esker, S.A., the leader in document process automation solutions, today announced its Esker DeliveryWare 4.0 – Esker’s Document Process Automation solution – has achieved SAP® Certified Integration for SAP’s new Enterprise Services-based (enterprise SOA) interface, thus achieving “Powered by SAP NetWeaver®” status. Esker is among the first few vendors to complete certification for this new interface, demonstrating and broadening its support of its Document Process Automation solutions for customers using SAP solutions worldwide.
Enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA) allows companies to gain competitive advantage by facilitating innovation, creating new revenue streams and developing operational efficiencies. With enterprise SOA, companies can link stand-alone and remote applications to quickly automate new end-to-end processes without disrupting productive systems. Existing processes can then be redesigned in real time to allow more rapid changes, adaptation to ever evolving business requirements and increased agility. The new Enterprise Services-based interface allows customers to further leverage their investments in the SAP NetWeaver platform.
“Esker has enthusiastically embraced the promise of enterprise SOA,” says Catherine Dupuy-Holdich, Esker DeliveryWare Product Manager. “As an SAP software solution partner, Esker is committed to helping customers further leverage their investments in SAP solutions by providing Document Process Automation solutions with fast return on investment. Esker DeliveryWare 4.0 was the ideal candidate for this certification. By automating the complete sales order process from data capture, validation and data entry in SAP applications as well as incoming document archiving, the solution brings major benefits to SAP customers,” concludes Catherine Dupuy-Holdich.
Integrating the Esker DeliveryWare sales order module with SAP NetWeaver based applications provides key benefits to customers including: accelerated order process time by up to 65%, improved order entry accuracy by limitation of human errors, lowered order process cost and increased operational productivity by up to 70%. As a result, customers are able to significantly improve cash flow, accelerate cash collection from sales while improving customer satisfaction.
To achieve “Powered by SAP NetWeaver” status from SAP for Esker DeliveryWare 4.0, Esker developed Enterprise Services-specific content mappings between the sales order management module of the SAP ERP 6.0 interface and the Esker DeliveryWare engine.
“Successfully passing the latest SAP interface certification for our flagship solution is a significant milestone for Esker,” says Emmanuel Olivier, Esker Chief Operating Officer. “It demonstrates and strengthens our longstanding commitment to the SAP ecosystem and to SAP customers. It also fits perfectly with our corporate strategy to offer the value of our solutions both as a traditional license and in a Software as a Service (SaaS) on demand model.”
