Original Press Release:
Anacomp Launches On-Demand BPM Solutions to Accelerate Document-Centric Finance and HR Processes
BPM Services Delivered on Top of docHarbor Infrastructure and Utilize Savvion BPM Platform
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 14 - SHARED INSIGHTS' BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE, HOTEL DEL CORONADO - Anacomp(R) Inc., a leading business process solutions company, today announced the launch of new business process management (BPM) solution offerings built on top of its docHarbor(R) on-demand business platform and targeted to financial and human resource professionals who desire to automate and accelerate their document-centric business processes.
Designed for rapid deployment and production capability, Anacomp's BPM solutions are available on-demand via a web browser and require no server installations, software downloads or additional up-front capital expenditures. By integrating Anacomp's docHarbor software as a service (SaaS) infrastructure for document capture, repository and archive services with the BusinessManager(TM) 7.0 BPM platform provided by Savvion(R), one of the industry's leading BPM software providers, Anacomp's BPM solutions offer comprehensive, pre-built business processes designed for customization by finance and human resource professionals.
For finance and accounting managers, Anacomp's BPM solutions are especially useful to help streamline processes such as capital expenditure approvals, financial reporting processes, and accounts payable (A/P) procedures such as invoice processing. Industry sources agree that such manual, paper-intensive processes continue to be a costly pain point for finance and accounting departments. For example, a survey by the International Accounts Payables Professionals (IAPP) association placed the average cost to process an invoice at nearly $8.00 and that as much as 70% of all invoice processing costs result from manual document handling and data entry processes. By utilizing Anacomp's BPM solutions to automate and accelerate such financial processes, users can increase financial reporting accuracy, reduce errors, eliminate late payments, take advantage of early payment discounts and re-deploy staff to other more productive department functions.
For human resource processionals, Anacomp's BPM solutions are especially useful to help streamline processes such as employee on-boarding and document verification. Anacomp's HR on-boarding BPM solution can be used to manage training and orientation, payroll and benefit enrollments, security and computer access, office and equipment acquisition, and more - all while ensuring company policies and compliance requirements are met and tracked. Such processes usually involve numerous departments - HR, accounting, purchasing, IT, department managers, etc. - and can be complicated by missed coordination of hand-offs, delays, unclear ownership of tasks, and compliance with corporate and regulatory hiring policies. According to a report by the Corporate Executive Board's Recruiting Roundtable, 89% of new hires indicate they did not receive the optimum level of knowledge and tools necessary to begin their jobs. By automating and streamlining new hire on-boarding processes, users can accelerate new hire productivity, improve retention rates, ensure adherence to company policies and reduce demands on internal resources.
"We are offering organizations the many benefits of customized, optimized and hosted process solutions that are built to their specific business needs, as opposed to them having to alter their processes to fit a packaged application," said John Turner, Anacomp's Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. "Our offering of hosted, on-demand business process services represents a natural evolution for Anacomp, as these solutions are built on top of our enterprise-class infrastructure, and empower us to help our customers take the next step in securely and cost-effectively managing their document lifecycles and obtaining the utmost value out of their document-centric workflows."
Anacomp captures and hosts billions of documents while meeting the most stringent security and availability requirements for enterprise and government customers across the globe. The company leverages the information infrastructure of multiple robust, reliable and secure data centers to provide document, data and BPM services and solutions. Anacomp also offers its renowned systems design, deployment, training and support of such solutions.
Anacomp will be demonstrating its new BPM solutions at the Shared Insights BPM Conference, taking place in San Diego the week of November 12. More information about Anacomp's BPM offerings can be found at http://docharbor.com/services/bpm.asp.
