NetMoves Integrates Internet Fax And SAP For AGA Gas
EDISON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 16, 1999--
Creates Fully-Customized IDD Solution for SAP-Originated Documents
NetMoves (NASDAQ NM: FAXX), the leader in Internet Document Delivery (IDD) today announced the installation of its first integrated solution for ERP-produced business documents for AGA Gas, one of the world's leading industrial gas companies.
The Unix-based solution combines SAP R/3-created purchase orders, forms management software from JetForm, and NetMoves' Internet Document Delivery network.
"The NetMoves' IDD solution enables AGA to fax large volumes of SAP-generated documents digitally right from the production system every day - bypassing fax servers - saving time, money, and freeing up our human resources," claimed Dennis Shinaberry, Project Leader for AGA Gas.
"We chose an IDD solution over purchasing a production messaging/fax server because it was more cost effective and provided us with an efficient and flexible solution for our business requirements. The NetMoves' team did an excellent job engaging the necessary resources to provide a customized solution in the matter of just a few weeks."
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) addresses the underlying processes that support virtually all companies, including business-critical documents like purchase orders, RFPs, invoices, expense reports, vacation requests, time sheets and payroll processing. International Data Corporation estimates this document-intensive market will experience a compounded annual growth rate of 50% -- from $336 million in 1996, to $1.5 billion in the year 2000.
This ERP solution reflects two important aspects of NetMoves'strategy for quickly penetrating the rapidly evolving IDD market;
1) targeting document-intensive computing environments like SAP with a range of highly efficient and flexible Internet-based solutions and;
2) partnering with software developers to deliver innovative and customized solutions to customers. "We found NetMoves' ServerLink API toolset easily adaptable to our own," claims Rich Fetik, Chief Technology Officer at NetAdvantage. "The time and effort it took to create a customized connection between their network and AGA was minimal. We look forward to working with them on other projects demanding innovative e-business solutions."
ERP systems are production systems in the enterprises that produce thousands of pages of documents daily. Even today, many enterprises still use manual, paper intensive methods of document delivery in conjunction with their ERP systems, or expensive and redundant analog fax servers. By turning production systems into virtual messaging machines -- without adding additional hardware or manual processes -- NetMoves IDD solutions help ERP systems deliver on their promise of automating the enterprise.
