Anacomp(R) and Swiss-Based Migros Sign Online Document-Management
Outsource Services Agreement
Premier Swiss Supermarket Chain Chooses Industry-Leading Service
For Online Document Management
SAN DIEGO, April 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Anacomp, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANCO), a
leading global provider of document-management solutions, announced today that
it has signed a service agreement with Migros, the largest food and non-food
distribution chain in Switzerland, for online delivery and storage of
financial and inventory documents.
Migros needed to simplify the handling of its paper and electronic
documents and to standardize the archived databases in its different
cooperatives. After evaluating several vendors, Migros chose Anacomp to
provide a complete outsource solution. Under the agreement, Anacomp will
capture, index, and transform financial reports, invoices, and other documents
related to Migros's inventory and deliver the electronic images to Migros's
personnel. On a daily basis, Migros transfers output files via a dedicated
communication line to Anacomp's location in Zurich, Switzerland. The
documents are processed and then stored on secure optical disk.
Anacomp's document-management outsource solution delivers several benefits
to Migros. The online service requires no capital investment, will be rapidly
implemented with no interruption in daily operations, and gives Migros access
to state-of-the-art technology that provides immediate, company-wide access to
archived documents. As the document-management outsource service provider,
Anacomp provides, for a set monthly fee, all system administration and
upgrades.
"Developing online document-delivery capabilities is very important for
Migros," said Beat Halter, head of IT and Finance for Migros. "By working
with Anacomp, we operate more efficiently, have instant access to documents
when we need them, and provide better service to our business partners and
customers."
"We are pleased to be working with Migros to assist them in improving
their document-management processes," said Peter Williams, executive vice
president of Anacomp. "By placing these critical documents online, Migros
employees in all of their locations can access information immediately,
resulting in increased productivity and enhanced customer service." |
