Bottomline Technologies and Abel Solutions (a US-based consulting firm focusing on the delivery of business solutions on the SharePoint platform), have partnered to extend the Accounts Payable Management from SharePoint users. Under the agreement, Abel Solutions will provide systems integration, consulting and deployment services for those implementing Transform AP - Bottomline Technologies' accounts payable (AP) management and visibility add-on for SharePoint. Earlier this year Bottomline also became the SWIFT business partner for the UK, Ireland and the Channel Islands.

With Transform AP, customers can use OCR to capture and validate invoice detail, store and view transaction-related documents, and generate invoice-related reports. Client companies can implement configurable, automated approval workflows for their AP (including mobile approvals) based on company-specific business rules, and authorised finance and non-finance approvers and coders can review invoices online. The company’s solutions are set to automate and manage processes involving payments, invoicing, global cash management, supply chain finance and transactional documents.

Transform AP can also connect directly with an organisation's ERP platform for data search, retrieval and upload.
