TE Connectivity Ltd. SUCCESS STORY OF A CUSTOMER PROJECT
From Upper Bavaria to Bangalore – Automated invoice recognition and SAP-based document processing are a global issue at TE Connectivity. Internal processes are to be streamlined and superfluous and error-prone typing saved by using a system for electronic invoice processing.
Electronic invoice processing by FIS increases productivity and process efficiency. The FIS/edc release workflow enables global electronic approval processes and, as a consequence, the elimination of previous paper-based invoice verification.

Cache function ensures worldwide access in the millisecond range FIS/edc + FIS/fci
The Cache function of the invoice reading software is an indispensable prerequisite for high-performing working at international level within the TE Connectivity organization. The SAP archive of TE Connectivity is hosted in Frankfurt and Harrisburg, USA. If colleagues from anywhere in the world had to access the German or American archive server to view an invoice, they would have to wait a number of seconds. Since, however, FIS/fci saves all scanned documents from the past three months on a local directory, FIS/edc first checks whether the invoice is there, which is mostly the case. Access times in the millisecond range are the result.
