Esker Launches Sales Order Automation Solution as a Service

New SaaS Solution Provides an Innovative Response to the Need for Automated Sales Order Processing

DERBY, England, April 21, 2010 - Esker, the leader in document process automation solutions, today
announced the release of a new SaaS (software as a service) solution to
automate sales order processing. This new solution from Esker offers
companies a real alternative to traditional software for cost reduction and
productivity improvement - via a simple Internet connection.

Despite the arrival and maturity of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) and
other business data exchange formats, a majority of companies are still
receiving sales orders by fax or email. Given the multitude of media delivery
methods available today (fax, email, postal mail, EDI, etc.) processing sales
orders continues to be increasingly complex and still constitutes a critical
process in terms of respecting customer commitments, boosting sales revenue
and creating competitive advantages.

"Many companies, such as Whirlpool, the BASF Group and MEDRAD (Bayer
Group), have already automated their sales order processing using our
solution. Our expertise, and a proven track record in the SaaS market, allows
us to offer this new on-demand solution and address all companies regardless
of size," said Jean-Michel Bérard, CEO of Esker.

Targeting customer management groups e.g. Accounting, Operations, Sales
Administration, Customer Service, etc this new on-demand solution offers
end-to-end process automation including: automatic sales order reception,
automatic data extraction, automatic order routing, workflow validation and
processing, tracking and reporting and archiving.

By eliminating manual order entry companies are able to: Lower
order-to-cash process costs by up to 70%, Improve cash flow and lower Days
Sales Outstanding, Increase data entry accuracy by as much as 99%, Reduce
order errors and fulfillment delays etc
