Green Mountain Power implements ReadSoft s solution for Oracle E-Business Suite


Electric utility company Green Mountain Power serves 92,000 customers
in Vermont and is now in production with ReadSoft's Oracle-certified
accounts payable automation solution. The company is committed to
continuously improve its environmental performance, and so was
attracted to a business solution that will reduce paper and provide a
more electronic procedure."We chose  ReadSoft because  they are  a one-stop  shop," stated  Jan
Ferro, Green  Mountain  Power's  Purchasing  Manager.  "There  is  no
middleware with ReadSoft; their  imaging and workflow components  are
certified by Oracle to run inside Oracle. There is a definite ease of
use with this product as all screens look just like Oracle screens we
are familiar with. There was a comfort level from day one by our team
with the ReadSoft solution."

Jan Ferro was the  driving force behind the  purchase of the  imaging
and workflow  automation software.   Ferro  was first  introduced  to
ReadSoft at the Oracle  OpenWorld conference in  October 2006. "As  I
watched a demo over someone's shoulder at OpenWorld," said Ferro,  "I
was amazed at how  similar it looked to  the distributions screen  in
the purchasing  module  we are  familiar  with in  Oracle  E-Business
Suite. I was ready to buy right there!"

The  company  went  into  production  as  scheduled  with  ReadSoft's
assistance in their 55-day implementation.   According to Ferro,  the
company  is  planning  to  take  payment  discounts  they  were   not
previously taking  advantage of,  as well  as reduce  the phone  time
spent on vendor complaints.  In addition, the  majority of their  top
vendors now send PDFs,  rather than paper  invoices, thus saving  the
amount of paper being used."Since ReadSoft  DOCUMENTS for  Invoices  business solution  is  100%
integrated  with  Oracle  E-Business  Suite,  customers  like   Green
Mountain  Power  are  given  the  ability  to  automatically   verify
information  about  vendors,  orders,  and  goods  received   against
Oracle," said Jan Andersson, President and CEO of ReadSoft.  "We  are
pleased to work  with Green  Mountain Power as  the company  realizes
these benefits and strives to lower overall invoice processing  costs
and provide a 'green' environment."
