Universal Application Connectors

ERP/CRM

Esker DeliveryWare is tightly integrated with today’s leading ERP applications, including connectors specifically designed for SAP, PeopleSoft, J.D. Edwards, and Baan. Many other applications, such as Oracle or Siebel, can also take full advantage of Esker DeliveryWare’s intelligent recognition, formatting, and delivery capabilities.

Custom and legacy applications

Documents from any custom or legacy applications can be directed to Esker DeliveryWare through the use of standard device type emulation (that is, as a print destination), standard protocols (FTP, LPR/LPD, TCP/IP, SNA, and so on), and through a Command Line Connector or published APIs. When acting as a print destination, Esker DeliveryWare becomes a natural extension of the enterprise network for any application generating print streams as PCL, PostScript, PDF, or AFP format.

Desktop applications

Users of desktop applications like Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel see Esker DeliveryWare as another printer and can choose the desired delivery method. To desktop application users, Esker DeliveryWare is as simple as printing.

Inbound documents

Data from inbound faxes, emails (SMTP and POP3), or scanned documents can be used as input to Esker DeliveryWare for recognition and extraction. The optional Image Recognition Module extracts data from inbound fax and image documents using optical character recognition (OCR), optical mark recognition (OMR), barcode recognition (1D and 2D) and handwriting recognition (ICR).

Directories and databases

Esker DeliveryWare integrates seamlessly with existing directories and databases.

Print

Esker DeliveryWare supports on-demand and high-volume printing. Text, PCL, PostScript, PDF, and AFP are all supported. Administrators can create as many Windows or non-Windows virtual Esker printers as required, allowing end users to directly print documents to be processed by the Esker DeliveryWare Rules Engine. Prints options include:

  • Printing documents from any application to any local or network printer
  • Creating multiple documents from a single data stream
  • Distributed printing to remote locations (warehouses, branch offices, other facilities)

Email

Email provides a flexible medium for delivering formatted documents, notifications of Web-posted documents, messages, warnings, and document final delivery status notifications. Emails may contain information that is dynamically extracted by DeliveryWare Rules Engine from a document or extracted through a database or directory query. Emails with attachments support PDF, HTML, TIFF, or text formats and can be secured with S/MIME.

Web publishing

Esker DeliveryWare supports HTML generation for publishing documents to secure or public Web sites. Esker DeliveryWare’s email notifications can immediately notify recipients with a direct URL link to the posted information.

XML

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) provides a structure for data exchange within specific marketplaces, simplifies document archiving, and gives organizations limitless flexibility. Any Esker DeliveryWare job can be output as an XML file, making Esker DeliveryWare easy to integrate with other XML-based applications. Esker DeliveryWare accepts input in any form of XML and also produces XML output in any user-defined format.

Wireless

Esker DeliveryWare enables applications to communicate with wireless devices such as text pagers, mobile phones, PDAs (Palm Pilots, Blackberry, and so on) using its email delivery capabilities. Using wireless providers, Esker DeliveryWare effortlessly sends text messages or notifications to devices simply by sending a message to a device’s SMTP email address.

Archive

The Esker DeliveryWare archiving functionality allows companies to store, query, retrieve, and track all documents, regardless of the delivery method. Read More

PDF

PDF (Portable Document Format) provides a simple way to present and deliver professional-looking documents in electronic format. Esker DeliveryWare’s PDF drivers allow conversion to PDF format from multiple input formats, including text, XML, PCL, PostScript, TIFF, or and AFP with full color support.
