Introducing New Patent Pending Technologies From Esker

Two New Esker Technologies Improve User Productivity and Document Recognition Accuracy of On-Demand Document Automation Suites

DERBY, England, June 17, 2010 - Esker, the leader in document process automation solutions, announced
today it has two patents pending with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office for
the development of technologies to improve the speed and efficiency of
implementing inbound document automation solutions and increase user
productivity.

Accurately recognising the content of unstructured business documents
such as supplier invoices, sales orders and order confirmations represents a
real challenge to the automation of inbound document processes. Typical
automation technologies involve document layout analysis and dedicated
complex business rules designed by administrators in order to properly
identify data in each document.

The first Esker technology allows organisations to analyse document
structure and identify variable data within a specific document - without
relying on human intervention. This technology analyses each inbound document
creating a map of variable vs. invariable data. Using the example of a
scanned invoice, all variable data such as due date, invoice number, vendor
ID, etc… is detected automatically and made available as an electronic file
for management in the accounts payable workflow.

"Defining new technologies demonstrates Esker's unique ability and
expertise at inventing and improving document process solutions to allow
organisations to become more streamlined and efficient. More specifically,
this technology eliminate hours spent on customisation dramatically reducing
project implementation time" said Jean-Michel Bérard, President of Esker.

The second technology created by Esker allows business users to
manipulate data involved in reconciling business documents such as matching
invoices to purchase orders or bill of ladings. Reconciliation of a scanned
image with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) extracted data and ERP data is
particularly complex to display properly on a computer screen for validation.

This new Esker technology assures faster and more accurate data
validation by displaying all key data sets directly within a single web
browser. An interactive screen displays the scanned image, the OCR extracted
data, and the ERP source data in separated panes accessible in real-time -
allowing users to validate information more accurately, thus eliminating
errors.
