The SIIA CODiE Awards are the premier awards for the software and information industries, and have been recognizing product excellence for over 30 years. The awards offer 91 categories that are organized by industry focus on education technology and business technology. Esker on Demand was honored as one of 215 finalists across the 62 business technology categories.

Esker is one of the first software vendors capable of offering a 100 percent cloud computing automation solution to its customers.

Organizations around the world leverage Esker on Demand because of the product’s unique ability to:

  • Automate any business document process as needed via one platform
    Using Esker’s shared group of technologies, users can automate purchasing, accounts payable, order processing, accounts receivable and more without the need for unwieldy or costly separate components.
  • Complement any existing business application
    Esker’s workflow functions operate independently of ERP/desktop systems, eliminating additional hardware or software requirements and improving flexibility for variations in document volume and users.
  • Optimize visibility and collaboration
    Esker’s solutions feature built-in dashboards so that any user can view and act on real-time business metrics from a customizable interface. Solution features, such as online portals for customers and suppliers and a mobile invoice approval app, maximize self-service and efficiency in every aspect of document processing.
  • Access key functions on the go
    Esker Anywhere, Esker’s mobile application, gives managers the ability to review, approve and reject purchase requisitions and supplier invoices while out of the office. The application, available on Apple® or Android™ devices, helps businesses further speed up the review and approval cycles of invoice and requisition processing, as well as improve efficiency in the purchase-to-pay (P2P) cycle.

“Being selected as a finalist for the prestigious CODiE Awards validates our assertion that Esker is a pioneer in cloud-based document process automation solutions,” said Steve Smith, U.S. chief operating officer at Esker. “Esker is the first company to offer a complete SaaS solution that automates all business document processes in one platform, integrates with all the most popular business applications, provides efficient portal interfaces to businesses, customers and vendors, and offers mobile access to key functions.”

The first round review of all nominees is conducted by software and business technology executives with considerable industry expertise, including members of the industry, analysts, media, bloggers, bankers and investors. The judges are responsible for selecting the CODiE Awards finalists. SIIA members then vote on the finalist products and the scores from both rounds are tabulated to select the winners.
