TEL AVIV, Israel and COLOGNE, Germany, March 21, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Top Image Systems, Ltd. (Nasdaq:TISA), a leading provider of ECM (Enterprise Content Management) intelligent content capture and delivery solutions, announced today that they successfully closed a deal with Stadtwerke Mainz AG (SWM), the municipal utilities of the City of Mainz. SWM, a large regional supplier of electricity, gas and water grids with its own waterworks, will use eFLOW to process more than 40,000 incoming invoices every year. eFLOW Invoice along with its eFLOW Invoice for SAP component will rapidly and accurately capture all relevant data and automatically deliver it to the SAP back-end system of record.

We are highly familiar with the utilities sector's specific requirements, and eFLOW is the perfect solution for streamlining complex document-based business processes within this industry. We are proud to say that eFLOW's outstanding performance and reliability have made it the market-leading solution for Invoice Processing in any industry, particularly in SAP environments."
