OPTO News Optio Partners with Pelican Professional Services to Deliver Proven Document Automation Solutions to ERP customers
ALPHARETTA, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Optio® Software, Inc.
(OTCBB:OPTO), a leading provider of Business Process Improvement (BPI)
solutions dedicated to helping companies achieve higher levels of
efficiency and accuracy in their inbound and outbound document
processes, announced today it has formed a reseller agreement with
Pelican Professional Services, a premier provider of business and
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) consulting services for system
selection, project management, implementation and modification.
“To effectively compete in today’s
business environment, it is increasingly important for our clients’
IT strategies to incorporate document management technology that will
evolve along with the needs of their organization,”
said Steve Horwitz, partner of Pelican Professional Services. “We
are excited to partner with Optio to provide our clients with a viable
solution, which will automate traditionally document-intensive
processes, reduce errors due to manual input and provide secure,
on-demand access to critical information. As more and more organizations
move away from strictly paper-based processes, our goal is to help them
take document automation to the next level with Optio's BPI solutions,
which enable automatic e-mailed and faxed forms, document attachments
and indexing of imaged and printed documents."
Under the agreement, Pelican will provide Optio’s
BPI solutions to new and existing ERP customers in both the Windows and
Unix environments. Optio’s document automation
technology interfaces seamlessly with virtually any ERP solution,
including systems developed using a service-oriented architecture.
“Like Optio, Pelican is committed to
providing innovative products and services to improve mission-critical
business processes,” said Chris Beecroft,
Optio’s senior vice president and general
manager of enterprise sales and services. “Our
recently formed alliance was a strategic decision for both parties.
Pelican’s clients will now have access to
proven document automation solutions –
therefore increasing overall customer satisfaction. At the same time,
Optio will continue to expand its growing customer base, offering
powerful BPI solutions to a broad range of companies and verticals.”
