Converga UK are a division of the NZ-based Datamail (Datam) Group an ISO 9001 organisation, and owned by the New Zealand post office. It is one of the largest solutions providers for paperless accounts payable in Australasia, the company is also responsible for scanning over 1 million documents each month in their dedicated capture centres at 6 major sites.
The UK business model is different, as capture is performed by (UK-based) Converga Accredited Capture Centres, such as Capital Capture, who are audited each year to ensure they are in line with the high standards set by Converga. Converga also has the ability to interface with almost any CRM software or in-house system, and has also had proven success interfacing with SAP, Oracle and other large system providers.
Converga is positioned as a niche player, which it believes is a clear reflection of its focus on paperless accounts payable (PAP), procure to pay (P2P) and archive solutions designed to provide productivity and agility to not only SME's and corporate business, but also the public sector.
Converga is unique in its focus on providing end-to-end paperless solutions that place control of the accounts payable process back into the hands of the CFO/FD and their managers, while ensuring security and integrity of the data and documents, and the speedy and efficient approval of invoices through the Converga work-flow process.
Converga is also differentiated from other vendors by the value added approach to projects through professional services, and by providing online hosting services which consolidate and provide unified documentation and accounts approval management capabilities through internet access.
The Datamail Group have invested large amounts of money and resources in new technologies and online security over the last few years, and many of the large, secure, and efficient systems already installed, have been in operation for some time. It has to have this level of security and integrity, particularly as it generates over 55% of all of New Zealand's business mail, and hosts in excess of 500 million archive images for organisations worldwide.
As New Zealand's largest integrated document management company, and part of the $1 (NZ) billion NZ Post, Converga UK's infrastructure and credibility make them a serious and leading contender in the UK Paperless Accounts Payable (PAP) market.
The Converga approach to PAP initially identifies and addresses the business pain points within the Accounts Payable cycle. By focusing on, and ensuring visibility is raised within the organisation from the outset, this helps at all stages with the analytics, structure of the solution, and implementation within the business to optimise the use of resources.
