Madison, WI (PRWEB) February 3, 2009 -- Esker (http://www.esker.com), the leader in document process automation solutions, today announced its participation in the SAP® EcoHub solution marketplace. This community-enabled solution marketplace makes it easier for customers to discover, evaluate and purchase partner solutions -- such as the Esker DeliveryWare (http://www.esker.com) document process automation solution -- that complement SAP applications.

The SAP EcoHub provides customers access to complementary solutions and offerings that work best for their installation of SAP solutions. It leverages SAP's comprehensive customer-focused ecosystem, where customers and partners can connect for success. The SAP EcoHub integrates community input, user feedback, ratings and partner demos, enabling a more educated selection of solutions.

Esker DeliveryWare is listed at https://ecohub.sdn.sap.com/irj/ecohub/solutions/deliveryware. Resources available for download from the SAP EcoHub site include an Esker DeliveryWare solution summary, an informational white paper and several customer success stories. Also provided are certification details for Esker DeliveryWare and the ability to request a live demo or contact from Esker.

"SAP EcoHub is an online solution marketplace that customers have been looking for to find the right solution and get all the relevant information, so we are excited about being involved and continuing to expand our relationship with SAP," said Steve Smith, U.S. Chief Operating Officer for Esker. "Participation in SAP EcoHub is significant, as it increases visibility for Esker DeliveryWare while strengthening our longstanding commitment to the SAP ecosystem and to SAP customers."

As an established independent software vendor offering solutions in support of SAP offerings, Esker has made serving the needs of customers using SAP solutions a top priority. Most recently, Esker DeliveryWare 4.0 earned SAP-certified integration with the SAP ERP application via enterprise services. Esker was among the first few vendors to complete certification for this new interface, which included development of specific content mappings between the SAP ERP interface and the Esker DeliveryWare engine.

Esker DeliveryWare offers customers a comprehensive platform for end-to-end automation of document processes including sales order processing, accounts payable, e-invoicing and e-purchasing. Examples of results achieved by customers using Esker DeliveryWare in conjunction with SAP solutions include reducing days sales outstanding (DSO) rate by five days, shortening average order processing time from 43 minutes to 11 seconds, cutting paper usage by 15,000 pages per month, and reducing invoice delivery costs by 50 percent.
