MADISON, Wis. & ORLANDO, Fla.--Esker, the leader in document process automation solutions and an SAP® software solution partner, today announced its participation as a Diamond level exhibitor at the 2008 ASUG Annual Conference being held in conjunction with the SAPPHIRE® 2008 Orlando conference on May 4-7. Esker will be demonstrating its document order management technology, specifically designed for use with SAP applications, at booth 1672.

In addition, at the conference, Esker customer Kimball International (Kimball) will be presenting a case study during ASUG’s Order Management program. The session entitled, “Kimball International: Automating Sales Order Processing to Support Growth” will detail how Kimball implemented Esker DeliveryWare to speed its order processing into its SAP application and highlight the benefits it has received as a result, including a consistently high level of order accuracy and the ability to identify and prioritize urgent and higher volume customer orders. The session will be held on Tuesday, May 6 at 4:00 p.m.

Esker offers end-to-end document process automation software solutions and web services that enable organizations to receive and send business-critical documents, regardless of source or format, directly into and out of enterprise applications, such as those from SAP AG.

Esker DeliveryWare 4.0 – Esker’s Document Process Automation solution – recently achieved SAP Certified Integration for SAP’s new enterprise service-oriented architecture-based (enterprise SOA) interface, thus achieving “Powered by SAP NetWeaver®” status. Esker is among the first few vendors to complete certification for this new interface, demonstrating and broadening its support of its Document Process Automation solutions for customers using SAP solutions worldwide.

To achieve “Powered by SAP NetWeaver” status from SAP for Esker DeliveryWare 4.0 FP1, Esker developed Enterprise Services-specific content mappings between the sales order management module of the SAP ERP 6.0 application and the Esker DeliveryWare engine. Integrating the Esker DeliveryWare sales order module with SAP NetWeaver-based applications provides key benefits to customers including:

• Accelerated order process time by up to 65%
• Improved order entry accuracy by limitation of human errors
• Lowered order process cost
• Increased operational productivity by up to 70%

“Each year, SAP puts together a week of exciting activities for customer interactions and training sessions, and this year is no exception,” said Renee Thomas, Director of Field Marketing, Esker. “We see more and more companies, not only in big enterprises, but also in SMBs, counting on SAP solutions increasingly for their core business processes. With that in mind, we believe that Esker’s longstanding and close relationship with SAP has put us in the position to be the document delivery solution of choice for companies of all sizes.”
