Rochdale Council and Northern Marine Management

A local council that is under constant legislative and political pressure to reduce costs and improve service provision. The council also wanted to avoid building back office systems which would increase the future maintenance burden. An OnBase integrated document management system from Hyland Software was selected after a thorough competitive tender process.

The second is a ship management services company. It manages an excess of 100 vessels, with over 50,000 invoices being processed every year. At least 500 of these suppliers are based outside of the UK and outside of the EU. In order to manage the payment process and the approval process for these vendors, paper had to go. A solution had to be found to also incorporate their procurement site that manages vessel orders from their fleet and from the other offices. The OnBase solution offered a scalable easy to use system that gives them real time access to their documents from different geographical location.
