ReadSoft Rolls Out Its Proven Cloud Solution For Invoice Processing To North American Market

ReadSoft, a leading global provider of document process automation solutions, today announced the immediate availability of ReadSoft Online in the United States and Canada. As a cloud-based service that automatically captures data from financial documents through any computer with an Internet connection, the solution allows all businesses, including those without a solid IT infrastructure and those with highly decentralized accounts payable processes, to significantly improve process efficiency and achieve considerable cost-savings.

“ReadSoft Online represents the latest technology in the most exciting area of our industry,” said Bob Fresneda, President of ReadSoft North America. “Businesses both large and small now have access to the high quality and user-friendly technology that ReadSoft is known for, but with all the advantages of operating in the cloud.”

ReadSoft Online functions as the entry part of an automated accounts payable process where the invoices are digitized and interpreted. The software automatically extracts the relevant data, verifies the information over the web and then transfers it either to an organization’s workflow and/or financial system, such as SAP or Oracle. Operating as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application built on Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform, ReadSoft Online is secure, quick to implement and offers users a low cost of ownership since it lacks hardware to buy and maintain and software to install and upgrade.

“For many companies, the biggest hurdle to implementing document automation is the investment of a large IT project,” according to Bob Fresneda, President of ReadSoft North America. “By moving it to the cloud, the initial investment is no longer an issue and document automation is now within easy reach for these firms.” The cloud solution is also highly scalable, in that end-users only pay for the service as it is needed.

The North American solution launch is in direct response to the product’s successful reception from businesses and partners in the Nordic European countries where ReadSoft Online was first introduced in 2011. The solution was subsequently released in the United Kingdom in January 2012, again with positive response, and today ReadSoft expands its cloud-based offering to include North America. ReadSoft Online is expected to complement ReadSoft’s newly-attained offerings from its acquisition of foxray in February, which supports organizations with high volume document production sites.

ReadSoft Online is available to businesses and partners throughout North America effective immediately. For more information, visit www.readsoft.com.
