RICAR Supports Microsoft Dynamics GP

Freedom Imaging Systems is pleased to announce the ability to integrate its document and business process management software, RICAR (Record Image Capture And Retrieval) with Microsoft Dynamics GP, Microsoft?s mid-market accounting software package. With this new integration, Freedom closes the gap between document management and accounting data.

The benefits of RICAR include unlimited access to the documents controlled with multiple security options. Now, everyone who needs to access accounting documents, but not necessarily the accounting database can view them in RICAR. Customer service representatives who need access to view invoices and purchase orders simply search and retrieve the proper documents in FreeView, RICAR?s viewing software, without ever having to log into Microsoft Dynamics GP. Once documents enter RICAR, they have a complete audit trail. At any given point, users can see who has accessed a document. Security can be handled on two levels, an active directory level and a document class level. Users with the proper domain security rights can access the VFC (Virtual File Cabinets). Each user can also have restrictions based on the document types of the documents in the VFC.

Another noteworthy RICAR benefit is the business process management efficiencies gained through electronic workflow management. Using RICAR's workflow application, FreeWf, accounting documents can be worked and sent throughout the department electronically. Accounting documents such as purchase orders, invoices, packing slips, etc. are all captured into RICAR by scanning or importing. These documents follow through an electronic workflow process, moving from person to person, or department to department, toward the goal of completion with the click of a button on a screen.

The information for each accounting document entered into Microsoft Dynamics GP is imported into RICAR and used to populate indexing information. Now, each of these documents can easily by searched and retrieved by index values such as voucher number, document type, vendor name, account number, etc. No more paper shuffling or searching for the document throughout the office. Users can trade in the physical inbox on their desk for a picture of their dog.

Freedom Imaging Systems is excited to extend the benefits of RICAR to accounting departments across the nation using Microsoft Dynamics GP. Integrating RICAR in the accounting process adds business process management opportunities and efficiencies that can directly influence the success of an operation.
