Roche Italia partners Esker for invoice management services

Thursday 27 May 2010 13:21 CET | News

US provider of document process automation solutions Esker has entered an agreement with healthcare research company Roche Italia to implement a flexible document platform for the latter.

The document platform in question is necessary to meet new regulations enacted by the ”Regione Lazio” (the public government organization active in the Lazio region) in the field of electronic documents exchange.

Upheld since 2009, the new regulations require the signing of an agreement between the supplier and the local health authorities. For the supplier this implies: the waiver of any litigation, the waiver of interest accrued up to 180 days, and the requirement to send invoices electronically to a central system which is responsible for routing the invoices to the correct authorities via the same method.

Conversely, the health authorities are responsible for settling claims within 120 days and paying the amount due within 180 days from the submission date of the electronic invoice and with technical assistance for the region.

Esker’s DeliveryWare allows customers to target the invoice creation process by capturing and processing invoices issued from SAP applications and converting them into various formats required by users: fax, postal mail, electronic certificates and proprietary XML formats.

The implementation of an automated document management solution was planned with the objective of integrating an electronic archive for documents — a strategy which will be expanded and finalized in 2010.
