ERP Systems Are Missing a Critical Piece

By Leslie Conduitt Many businesses have made significant investments in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, which is used to collect, store, manage and interpret data. However, these companies have underestimated the human and financial resources  typically required to integrate the new system with their other processes –  such as document-based transactions – which allow businesses to operate outside of their walls.  Most ERP systems do not include a document design tool capable of handling the complex requirements of a transactional document such as variable headers and footers, custom backers, optional section handling, custom comments within detail lines, etc.  As a result, developers spend a lot of time trying to make custom modifications to the data and document to make up for the tools’ shortcomings. A Missing Piece  Many companies implementing an ERP system overlook one of the most important roles of the system –  the ability to collect and present information.  The bulk of the information collected or presented is done via forms and documents. These documents need to be presented on smart devices, computer screens and paper.   Yet, ERP system vendors and implementers do not put enough emphasis on the importance of this information being presented and delivered in the way your customers, vendors, partners and employees expect today. DocOrigin is the Best-in-Class DocOrigin encompasses all of the core components with the best-in-class features to make it the only choice for any company.  It has the flexibility to support any input data from any business software, merge it into any document, and output to any presentation for multi-channel delivery.  DocOrigin is fueled by data, letting the content define what it lays down and where it goes. Advanced Features For robust documents, DocOrigin can quickly be customized to include top-of-the-line features such as QR barcodes, vector pie and bar charts, content-driven custom ads and eye-catching colors to draw the audience to the right information quickly and easily.  Its powerful engine runs at top speeds unmatched by its competitors. Its destination can be defined for HTML, PDF, high-speed printer, email or a combination of all of them. Unparalleled Output Speeds Test results prove the throughput of DocOrigin’s document production is second to none, surpassing its competitors – including LiveCycle. DocOrigin was 300% faster, using 25% of the cores and only 20% of the memory.  DocOrigin speeds have been recorded as high as 20,000 pages per minute.  DocOrigin license fees are about the same as LiveCycle Output’s annual maintenance and support costs. Industry-Leading  The successful execution of a business document solution is dependent upon the effectiveness of the team and tools used for its creation.  Eclipse Corporation has the industry experience and product knowledge to deliver an unparalleled solution for your business – using your existing data.  DocOrigin was developed by the founders of the eForms industry.  It has all of the necessary components for the ideal scenario – a single transactional data stream executes all of the necessary tasks efficiently and effectively.  Now you can utilize the best tools and services available in the industry today.  Choosing DocOrigin as a dynamic document solution will equate to choosing a round peg for the round hole – a perfect fit.

Making the Most of Each “Customer Appointment”

Marketing today is all about engaging customers and building brand loyalty. You’ve got to keep customers coming back for more. But it’s not easy to reach your customers when they are bombarded with thousands of marketing messages each day through TV, radio, social media, and so forth. Most of us tune out the hype and clutter. How can you rise above the din of competitive messages to be heard? One way is by making the most of routine transactional documents like invoices, statements, confirmations and account notices. These communications provide a very important ‘customer appointment’ that is often overlooked as a marketing tool. Research tells us that more than 90% of customers open their bills and statements – and most spend one to three seconds reviewing the content.

What is the State of your Statements? 

Customer account statements are not often thought of as important tools for marketing, but they should be. Companies issue thousands of statements every month, and each one is a trusted appointment with every customer. Unlike most junk-mail, customer statements get noticed, they get read, and they rarely wind up in the recycle bin. Indeed, companies that overlook the promotional and relation-building power of customer statements overlook a tremendous opportunity to communicate, cross-sell and reinforce brand experience.
