Esker Signs $252,000 Agreement with Global Financial Services Firm for Accounts Payable Automation in an SAP® Environment

MADISON, Wis.--()--Esker, a worldwide leader in document process automation solutions and SAP® software solution and technology partner, announced today that it has reached an agreement with a global investment management firm. The company has selected Esker’s Accounts Payable solution to integrate with its existing SAP system in order to fully automate vendor invoice workflow.

As a global provider of financial services with billions in assets, quality and efficiency are critical to the company’s daily accounts payable (AP) operations. A recent re-implementation of SAP to reduce costs and complexities in the process prompted the firm to look for an automated solution that could integrate with its SAP system to streamline each phase of AP — from invoice capture and review to coding and approval — without building and maintaining the workflow within SAP. In addition to citing Esker’s favorable pricing as a key factor, the company also made their selection based on how closely the Esker solution’s core functionalities matched its own SAP system requirements.

“Companies running SAP already have a proven application in place for more efficient AP — our solution takes it a step further by integrating end-to-end capabilities within SAP to automate virtually every phase of workflow,” said Steve Smith, U.S. Chief Operating Officer at Esker. “Manual data entry, manual paper routing, and lack of control and visibility are still prevalent problems within AP departments of businesses large and small. Esker is proud to be an industry leader in helping these companies not only find a paper-free alternative to traditional vendor invoice processing, but leverage a solution that can easily adapt to their unique needs.”
