The greatest benefits from eProcurement come as part of a fully-integrated purchase to pay solution that links the requisitioning and approval process with the financial settlement and accounting of purchases. To achieve this, organisations need to link their eProcurement System with their Financial Management System.

Traditionally, this has been viewed as a complex and expensive process fraught with difficulties and unknowns. Some organisations have chosen not to integrate, resulting in a disjointed process that requires manual rekeying of data and introduces process bottlenecks and risks of human error. Others have shied away from a best of breed approach and instead deployed a second rate procurement application from their Finance Management System vendor.

Solutions from Elcom have a proven integration pedigree with live and highly successful integrations with many of the World's leading Financial Management Systems including Oracle, SAP, CedAr Open Accounts, Agresso, Integra, Great Plains, Sun Accounts and Coda Financials. Our customers have benefitted from marrying the flexibility of Elcom's world-class eProcurement technology with their existing Financial Management Systems to provide them with a solution that meets the needs of both buyers and financial controllers and at a significantly lower cost over a single-source Finance System-based solution.
