Brainware Distiller Selected by Concur to Increase Efficiency of Invoice Processing Solution

Intelligent Data Capture Provides Platform for Scalable Data Processing

May 23, 2012, Ashburn, VA—Brainware announced today that Concur (NASDAQ: CNQR), the leading provider of integrated travel and expense management services, has selected Brainware Distiller for the capture of header and line-item field data within the company’s invoice processing solution, providing optimized processing efficiency and enabling Concur to process greater volumes while increasing the level of automation delivered to their customers.  Distiller will be replacing a prior, template-based applicationfor data capture.

In selecting Distiller, the customer cited the application’s unparalleled ability to extract data from PO and non-PO based invoices as a key differentiator.  Also significant was the solution’s ability to scale while supporting multiple Concur clients on a single platform.  Lastly, Distiller’s ability to effectively extract line-item details from PO-based invoices and pair those lines against customer PO data was fundamental to supporting Concur’s recent expansion to handle PO-based invoices.

“Clients using our automated invoice processing solution require world-class data capture to augment their manual data entry and verification processes,” said Doug Bechtold, Vice President of Research and Development at Concur.  “We chose to implement Brainware because their technology offered us greater scalability than traditional template-based data capture along with the highest rates of field extraction we’ve observed.  Quite simply, it provided a logical platform for supporting Concur’s growth through optimal efficiency and productivity.”

“This implementation reflects Brainware’s compelling proposition for business process outsourcers, financial services operations and other large enterprises that perform copious amounts of data processing for a host of clients,” said Carl E. Mergele, Executive Vice President and General Manager at Brainware.  “On the basis of a single Distiller project, a service provider like Concur can quickly process data from unlimited document formats, for an unlimited number of customers, expanding to broaden its contractual opportunities without investing in additional personnel, hardware or office space.”
