The OnBase modular methodology enables organizations to build organic business solutions based on exact practical requirements. Few businesses implement single, standalone content management systems that exist in the same format over numerous years without evolution, modification or expansion. As user acceptance of a solution solidifies and as the system becomes part of the infrastructure rather than an additional layer, cross-organizational deployment becomes a long-term strategy rather than an immediate remedy. OnBase provides the building blocks to deploy core, evolution-ready solutions.

Capture, store, manage and distribute documents across the extended enterprise.

Standardize, structure and track interconnected business processes.

The OnBase commitment to developing industry-specific solutions is more than marketing. Customer requests have driven enhancements and new OnBase modules, such as the ability to communicate with data exchange standards used in healthcare and financial services environments. From solutions analysts through technical support, OnBase users and partners have the confidence of knowing that they are working with people who understand both the technology and the business process.

OnBase allows organizations to automate back office operations, reduce costs and create competitive advantage. With a strong record of accomplishment in the back office, organizations can:

• Reduce cycle times with automatic content-centric processing.

• Integrate with other applications for simpler retrieval of documents
• Reduce storage costs with a central electronic repository
• Mitigate risk with automatic audit trails, document histories and records management.

Specialized OnBase modules include:

• SAP Packaged Services and Solutions — Working with paper-based documents can be costly and inefficient. In addition, when your processes are paper-based, security, collaboration and enforcing policy and compliance are nearly impossible. Why not free your organisation from the burden of paper with packaged solutions from SAP and OnBase?
• Accounts Receivable (AR) — With documentation ranging from purchase orders (POs), proofs of delivery, invoices, activity reports, letters and other correspondences in OnBase, AR departments can significantly improve the collection process.

OnBase empowers organizations to manage and route documents throughout an organization electronically, regardless of location.

Using Workflow, documents are delivered to users in accordance with established business rules, thus mimicking the existing paper-based processes.

As a result of rules-based processing, the time spent performing low-value manual tasks involved with the physical filing and handling of paper is significantly reduced, freeing employees to spend time in functions that contribute more value to the business.
