HAYWARDS HEATH, England, February 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Document management system expert, Eclipse Group, today announces top tips for businesses to improve efficiency in the finance department using a document management solution. Whilst some organisations have embraced document management technology over the past few years to reduce costs and streamline document archiving and retrieval, many financial processes have remained untouched as businesses have focused on areas of higher profile, such as distribution, or those functions with high administrative volumes, such as HR.

Gary Waylett, CEO of Eclipse Group, explains, "Many companies have already improved efficiency through the adoption of document management systems (DMS), particularly in the HR, distribution, marketing and customer service areas. Extending tried and tested DMS, OCR, workflow and electronic payment processing technology to the finance department can further transform efficiency and reduce costs, help to improve financial control and deliver better visibility into business performance."

Eclipse Group has produced a new eBook with a series of top tips for companies wishing to streamline core financial processes in order to realise immediate efficiency improvements. In the eBook Gary Waylett provides advice and guidance on how businesses can use document management technology to improve the management of incoming documents; minimise manual data entry; automate the manual invoice approval process; outlaw the use of outbound paper; and automate the payment process.
