Sage has signed a global agreement with Version One, the provider of document management solutions, to jointly introduce Sage ERP X3 EDM (electronic document management). Under the new agreement, Sage ERP X3 users will have the option to integrate Version One’s document management solution into their system. The option is available to existing Sage ERP X3 customers and new customers.
Sage ERP X3 EDM says the company will enable users to seamlessly and securely archive, retrieve and process business documents such as invoices and other external supplier documents directly from the Sage ERP X3 system. This, says Sage, will significantly reduce the circulation, filing, management and processing of physical documents – saving businesses time and reducing the costs and environmental impact of printing and storing paper documents.
Easy to use search criteria within the Sage ERP X3 application user interface will simplify access to important information and help to eliminate the risk of mislaying or incorrectly filing documents. As the documents are stored electronically, copies can be kept at different locations for total security - something not achievable with a traditional paper archiving system.
The OEM agreement is an extension of an already strong alliance between the two companies which has seen Version One’s technology included in Sage’s other software solutions such as Sage ERP AccPac, Sage ERP MAS and Sage 1000. For Version One, the agreement supports its international business expansion plans.
