Accounts Payable Automation

The Esker on Demand Platform

At the core of the Esker on Demand platform is an advanced multitenant architecture in which users and business applications share a single, common infrastructure and code base that is centrally maintained.

Esker on Demand applications are always available and always current. You benefit from secure access anytime, anywhere — all you need is an Internet connection and a web browser.

Let Esker manage all your IT needs for document processing. We offer performance, reliability and security of applications, infrastructure and operations at levels vastly superior to what most companies can afford to deploy themselves.

Why SaaS?

Esker is committed to SaaS (Software as a Service) as the appropriate model to facilitate the general and widespread use of document process automation solutions.

Instead of installing and managing software, you simply access it via the Internet. SaaS customers gain valuable automation efficiencies without the need to buy, build and maintain IT infrastructures.

Over the past decade we have brought together powerful technologies to provide high-value document process automation on demand solutions. More than 2,000 customers worldwide and 35,000 users rely on Esker on Demand solutions every day to run key business processes.

Compliance

We understand that businesses today need cost-effective ways to comply with the requirements of regulatory frameworks like Sarbanes-Oxley. While corporate governance is technology-neutral, businesses must find solutions that support the basic requirements of compliance and information management. Esker on Demand services offer high value to customers looking for confidentiality, control and accessibility of their data.

Scalability

The Esker on Demand Infrastructure currently processes well over 1 million transmissions each month. To prepare for growth, we selected technology that is scalable so that we can increase processing capacity without impacting current production. Our scalable architecture enables us to meet contractual commitments on all delivery requirements.

Monitoring

Each of our server platforms uses high-availability cluster technology offering internal redundancies to counter any possible hardware failure. The platforms in North America and Europe are capable of backing up one another, guaranteeing that your documents are transmitted on time.
