SHOW PREVIEW

  • Beta Systems to showcase integration solution for more agility

  • Business-process oriented industry solutions from handling incoming mail to compliance and data center integration

Berlin, Germany. 16 August 2007 – Beta Systems Software AG is exhibiting at DMS Expo and will be presenting standardized industry solutions for general banks, savings banks and insurance companies in Hall 7, Stand E021/G022. Together with Beta Systems, partners All for One Documents GmbH and FIS Informationssysteme & Consulting GmbH will be showing their industry-specific solutions. Beta Systems will also be giving the first sneak preview of its new product suite Beta 4Agility against the backdrop of its motto ‘More Enterprise Agility’. 

The Beta 4Agility products interconnect applications and systems. They accelerate IT reactivity to complex challenges and significantly increase IT performance. The Beta 4Agility suite comprises four integration products based on Beta Systems’ traditional core businesses: document management, IT user management, data processing within data centers, and compliance solutions.

Business Process Oriented Solutions for General and Savings Banks
In the banking and financial services sector, the growing demands on competitiveness, cost pressures, and increasing globalization call for innovative solutions to automate business processes. At DMS Expo, Beta Systems will be demonstrating the ways its ECM product range can be used in the back-office of general and savings banks. Financial institutions that have – and need to manage – extremely large quantities of data need to exhaust all possibilities for optimization. To support them, Beta Systems will be presenting input processing with FrontCollect, especially for the back office area and for handling general incoming mail, including emails. The solution covers processes from digitization and host data processing through to archiving. FrontCollect is integrated in Microsoft technologies including Windows Vista, Sharepoint Server 2007, and Office 2007. The products FrontOffice and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (based on the EBS 20 archive) enable efficient and cost-effective credit processing.

Beta Agilizer 4 Document Processing makes documents available in a business process oriented context. As they are electronically archived, they can be searched and retrieved quickly and easily, regardless of which archiving system they are stored in. The Agilizer integrates a range of different archiving solutions and delivers the documents to the user via web services and other user- and business process-oriented interfaces.

Beta Systems is also extending its payment transaction software with functions that enable enterprises and banks to better utilize the advantages of SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area), the upcoming single market for payments within the eurozone.

Standardized Solutions for Insurance Companies
With FrontCollect Insurance, Beta Systems provides a standardized solution for the fast, simple, and secure capture of insurance companies’ mail. The FrontCollect Insurance solution extends the FrontCollect Suite to a standard package for the task-oriented process of claim reimbursements. FrontCollect Insurance includes multiple specialized functions and application-specific checks and verifications that are needed to process insurance claims. The solution can be tailored and extended to meet individual customer’s needs. Claim data from doctors’ invoices for outpatient and inpatient care as well as hospital bills are provided automatically for use in further applications like invoice verification, service provision, or health management.

In addition, Beta Systems is presenting a cross-sector solution for insurance companies that processes incoming mail and enables insurers to consolidate the provision of their services. This is a requirement for integral, enterprise-wide customer service on demand. The solution even captures unstructured data. It facilitates the work of customer service representatives and of the back office due to its high level of automation and standardization.

Partners FIS and All for One to Present Industry-Specific Solutions
The Beta Systems partners, FIS Informationssysteme und Consulting GmbH and All for One Documents GmbH, will be showing specialized applications for incoming invoices on Beta Systems’ stand at DMS. The SAP full-service specialist, FIS Informationssysteme, is presenting a complete solution comprised of Beta Systems’ software FrontCollect Invoice and the document monitor FIS/edc. This supports the automatic processing of incoming invoices and any other documents in SAP. 

All for One specializes in automatic data extraction from structured and unstructured documents, even very complex ones. At DMS, the Beta Systems partner is showing solutions for industry (invoices and credit notes), trade (orders and surveys), and for service companies (applications, certificates, and contracts). Scanners, ERP systems and archiving solutions can be integrated with these products.

Cross-Industry Solutions
Analysis and Monitoring Solution for Dynamic IT Auditing Across Systems
The Beta Agilizer 4 Compliance enables company-specific compliance requirements to be fulfilled automatically and centrally. The Agilizer manages them using an implemented set of policies and rules. This leads to improved and simplified control cycles, which start by monitoring regulations and end with the preventive discovery of risks and vulnerabilities within the existing compliance structure. As part of the solution, the Beta 96 Enterprise Compliance Auditor provides IT-assisted auditing of compliance-related data. Using an extensive range of analyses and controls, business-critical data is safeguarded while complying with national and international IT security requirements. To facilitate its immediate use, the solution comes with a range of proven best-of-breed policies.

Beta Systems will also be showing how data centers can be integrated into business processes using universal web service interfaces, and how companies can implement high-performance, enterprise-wide output management in practice.
