Both big or small business must always deal with accounts processing to handle their invoices and bill payments. As this processes deals with cash flow of the company it must be managed properly with full concentration. In this millennium there are modern equipments like online bill payment, electronic invoicing, and P-card are available that remove the paper based processing from the accounting department.

Thus it becomes unbearable for small company to buy this software. Moreover your accounting or ERP system must have a compatible interface with the software otherwise it may not run.

Software vendors embraced OCR and ICR technologies into their product to capture the account data accurately from the scanned images, they're still long way to go to remove the manual process. So still a long way to go to remove manual work.

Thus big companies using an account data capture solution can affordable it and they can justify the cost of managing it. But for small companies it is not an affordable solution and their in-house manual process is not cost-effective and efficient.

So what is the way ouy from here?
