Sun Chemical Implements Brainware Distiller for Invoice Processing
Manufacturer Replaced Existing Technology with Intelligent Data Capture Solution
ASHBURN, Va., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Brainware, Inc., an innovative provider of intelligent data capture and enterprise search solutions, today announced that Sun Chemical has successfully implemented the Brainware Distiller™ solution for North American invoice processing. Sun Chemical decided to implement Brainware Distiller after facing challenges with the previous document processing product from Kofax.
"Brainware touted its ability to achieve 80-90% field extraction rates out of the box, but we realized that those were conservative estimates as we have experienced extraction rates as high as 93-99%," said Ray Baer, Director of Corporate Accounting for Sun Chemical. "Once our team started to use the system, we quickly recognized how much more user-friendly it was compared with what was previously in place."
Brainware Distiller has been fully integrated with Sun Chemical's other core technologies including their OpenText workflow and SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. The next phase of this global project will integrate Brainware Distiller into Sun's financial shared service centers in Wroclaw, Poland and Bangalore, India, which process invoices in 14 different languages.
In a three week span, Brainware designed, installed, integrated, tested, and rolled out the new solution, as well as trained end users in Sun Chemical's accounts payable team. "Having any enterprise software solution up and running in that short of a timeframe is typically unheard of, and that made the entire implementation cycle even more impressive," added Baer. "When we began working with Brainware's team, they spoke confidently about how the best practices developed from global implementations were the foundation for their rapid deployment methodology, and those best practices were definitely the foundation for a strong start to the project."
"Automated document processing is a significant driver for achieving efficiency and working capital objectives," said Kurt Albertson, Director of Advisory Services for the Hackett Group. "In these volatile times, however, Hackett research indicates that companies are also focused on business agility, and the ability to quickly deploy technology is a key ingredient in achieving this objective. Providers that support a rapid implementation strategy will help companies achieve this desired state."

With annual sales over $4 billion, Sun Chemical has more than 11,000 employees supporting customers around the world through a network of 250 locations in 65 countries.
