29th May 2006 Version One the document management and imaging software house and INFOR, the enterprise software provider specialising in the manufacturing and distribution sector are to partner in response to demand from Infor customers for 'paperless office' technology. Version One's document management and imaging software is now tightly integrated into Infor's Distribution Essentials product suite, enabling users to electronically design, store, retrieve, deliver, manage and authorise incoming and outgoing business documents directly from their ERP systems.
Version One says that Infor's customers will be able to save time and money by automating document management processes, including the ability to eliminate manual processes such as photocopying, manually filing, and posting paper documents such as invoices and dispatch notes.
"As a leading provider of distribution software, we are always looking for opportunities to increase the value we provide to our customers," said Trevor Smith, Infor's Vice President & Managing Director UK and Ireland . "Our partnership with Version One is a direct result of customer demand for tightly integrated document management and imaging software. Infor's customers can now enjoy a multitude of benefits from using Version One's technology, including a swift payback, improved business efficiency, and savings in time, money and storage space."
A number of Infor's customers have already signed up for Version One's 'paperless office' technology, including T. I. Midwood & Co Ltd and R & B Star Ltd.
"Manual, paper-based processes such as filing and photocopying no longer make good business sense; they are time-consuming, costly, inefficient and prone to error," said Tony Bray, Director of Version One. "This strategic partnership will give thousands of Infor customers worldwide access to Version One software, allowing them to streamline business processes, improve compliance and enhance document security."
