Albany Software launches eCONNECT v4.5 - the complete e-document distribution and EDI solution - helping business save thousands on their document distribution costs.

Albany Software, software author and one of the leading authorities in the e-business marketplace, has recently launched the latest version of their eCONNECT solution. This advanced solution enables the production and distribution of a range of business documents, such as purchase orders, remittance advices and invoices, at the touch of a button and at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods.

Teresa Davies, Development Manager, says "eCONNECT version 4.5 is packed with new functionality, making it an even better solution than its predecessor. New features in this current release include EDI (electronic data interchange) capabilities, allowing organisations to streamline their communication processes and link to a wider variety of trading partners."

Ms Davies continues, "Many large organisations now require their suppliers and business partners to communicate with them via EDI and these smaller suppliers are increasingly searching for a cost effective way of implementing the EDI standard. eCONNECT provides exactly this capability, ensuring the organisation receives a value for money solution with an excellent Return on Investment longer term."

Other key functionality includes the ability to produce documents in PDF format, allowing for the safe and secure transmission of documents which cannot be altered by the recipient. Ms Davies explains, "the addition of PDF capability also allows businesses to incorporate their corporate identity into their documents and offers more choice and flexibility in the production of different types of documents".

eCONNECT is an advanced solution that integrates with the majority of accounting and payroll solutions currently available. It works by initially acquiring data extracted from 3^rd party accounts packages and translating this into an electronic document, based on the specified document layout. This document is then routed to the correct recipient and delivered via fax, email, EDI, print or file transfer.

The eCONNECT solution is ideal for organisations which spend thousands of pounds and many hours manually preparing, printing, stuffing, franking and posting their business documents. The costs associated with this are huge - an average organisation sending out 1500 documents per month spends £14,500 per year on document production and distribution. Utilising the fax option of eCONNECT enables organisations to save 94% of this cost and by using the email function, eliminates these costs entirely.
