LOS ANGELES, July 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Docupace Technologies is pleased to announce that the ePACS® cloud-based workflow service has become even more robust through a new partnership with Efficient Technology, Inc. that leverages Quik! Forms™. StartingPoint, powered by Quik!® is the new first step of the ePACS® solution and includes a library of over 15,000 forms plus the ability to customize key documents to include broker-dealer specific information.

StartingPoint offers one more layer of increased efficiency and automation to the ePACS system. ePACS is the industry's first web-based electronic paperless app and check service that transparently combines document imaging, document and check scanning, signatures, eForms, Check21 processing, and workflow automation. This groundbreaking solution satisfies operations, compliance, and risk management. ePACS allows broker-dealers and advisors to achieve true straight-through processing, communicating electronically no matter their location, with every step of the process workflow-enabled to eliminate holdups and expedite new or ongoing transactions.

ePACS is the only solution that accommodates all lines of business for an office, and with the robust catalog of forms now integrated within the ePACS solution, advisors will benefit from the ability to pre-populate data—which saves time and reduces errors—without having to pay for a separate desktop forms solution. In addition, because the solution is a part of the ePACS process, all forms are immediately entered into the workflow queue.

"Getting information efficiently, and correctly, into the appropriate form is a critical step to achieving true straight-through processing," says Michael Pinsker, President of Docupace. "Our forms are smart: business intelligence is built right into the form and is the starting point for workflow. It is also the gathering point for information that gets fed to other systems; that's why we are calling this tool StartingPoint, powered by Quik!®. We feel that this integration within our ePACS system is a no-brainer."

From start-to-finish, the ePACS service is priced competitively, based on an online subscription model. It is customizable and adaptable to organizations of any size, and with the seamless integration of enterprise forms automation, the ePACS value becomes even greater.

"Quik!® was designed to free advisors from the mundane task of filling out forms and enable them to do their best work—meeting with and serving clients," says Richard Walker, CEO of Efficient Technology, Inc. "We're thrilled to partner with Docupace to help drive straight-through processing as a part of the ePACS Software as a Service model."
