ECP’s Invoice Automation solution, IAConnect is also available as a Software as a Service (Saas). This is ideal for customers who prefer to avoid the investment and the overhead associated with maintaining a premise-based solution.

The SaaS offering can be quickly be implemented for your organization-helping you realize immediate cost savings benefits of 50% and more per invoice transaction. Our pay-per-invoice processed billing methodology eliminates the need for an upfront capital investment in either hardware or software.

Through the outsource model, ECP allows you to have all invoices sent to a secure lockbox from which they would be retrieved several times per day. ECP scans all of your invoices for you and then extract header and line item detail using powerful OCR technology. This data is then processed through IAConnect-resulting in an approved voucher for payment.

Clients are provided with a Web-based administration tool allowing them to manage users, roles, user rights and business rules for routing approvals. As a result, your staff can focus on processing invoices while we worry about the monitoring and management of the servers and data network. All of your data is maintained in a highly secured data center with full redundancy and 24/7 monitoring.
