PRESS RELEASE - 20 June 2002Turn paper to e-paper with TIMeSpecialist IT solutions provider Advanta Software today announced the release of their TIMe suite of solutions to gradually transform a business from paper to e-paper. “The change to electronic information flow or “e-paper” has only just begun in earnest among the general business community,” said Robert Kery, Advanta Software’s Managing Director, “and the challenge is for business to make this transformation quickly, efficiently and without major disruption to core activities. That’s why we developed TIMe, a suite of solutions that work together to gradually transform a business to e-paper”. TIMe – short for Total Information Management electronically – addresses all modern input and output demands on an organisation’s core Business Applications, including Forms Data Capture, Reporting and Analytics and Web Access. It provides all the components required to fully manage each of these using electronic processes.
TIMe comprises a selection of best-of-breed software tools that provide specific e-transformation components such as form design, report re-formatting, e-mail and web output and analytics. Complementing these software tools, Advanta Software has developed templates and industry-specific solutions to reduce the risk and cost of software integration. Advanta professionals provide a comprehensive range of professional services to integrate these components with existing infrastructure and systems and deliver a complete solution. There are substantial benefits from changing to e-paper. Robert noted that “Organisations that embrace the new technology slash administration costs and more importantly accelerate the rate at which business can be conducted. Most projects provide paybacks of less than 6 months. This can be in the form of labour or materials cost savings or extra revenue. For example, when eForms is introduced, data entry costs can reduce by up to 90%. While an eReports application could see printing and postage costs slashed by the changeover to faxing or emailing documents. Advanta’s eAccess brings web self-service, which could mean extra revenue from orders placed around the clock. With TIMe, Advanta Software can configure and install an existing application template or tailor a solution to meet the specific needs of the organisation, no matter whether they are just starting down the road towards e-paper, or well advanced.
