What do they do?
BEA is the world's leading application infrastructure software company supporting more than 12,500 customers worldwide.

Why did they need our help?
BEA needed help in bringing together the supplier invoicing functions for 16 countries.

How did we help them?
We suggested that BEA use our document management system.

This has delivered direct savings in manpower and has removed the need for geographically diverse accounting functions.  

The ability to operate a near-paperless office with no filing overheads has also displaced more than 15% of operating costs for the existing accounting function.

What do they have to say about us?
“Having worked with the system for a while we have been impressed by the level of automation we can achieve using the software to browse documents held by Bottomline (formerly HMSL) over the internet. It means that we have no filing to do - there's no paper here - it's all dumped on Bottomline for them to deal with on our behalf.

The flexibility of the web-based system means that our accounts staff in the UK - and analysts in Germany, Italy, Sweden etc. can drill down to any specific document they want 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from anywhere in the world."
