FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
ASPEN 360 Allows Gucci to Go Paperless Enterprise-wide
Fairfield, NJ (June 6, 2005) - Archive Systems,
the premier provider of Document Process Outsourcing (DPO) services, today announced
an agreement with Gucci, one of the world's leading multi-brand luxury goods companies,
to expand their services to include a Web-based image hosting solution.
Gucci's expanded services include a comprehensive Web-based image hosting solution
and high-volume off-site document conversion for their accounts payable, accounts
receivable, customer service, and tax departments. Gucci plans to extend the use of
the ASPEN 360 service over time to address enterprise-wide document management initiatives.
Archive Systems has been providing Gucci with off-site hard copy records storage. With
the new additional services, Gucci documentation now resides securely in Archive Systems'
redundant Data Center Infrastructure, where authorized users have 24x7 Web-based access
and support.
"Gucci was considering deploying imaging technology to better manage its hardcopy collection
on a corporate level and looked at the key players in outsourced document management,"
stated Whei-Wen Cola-Pinto, Manager of Financial Systems at Gucci. "Archive Systems offered
the only comprehensive solution that enables Gucci to focus on our core business initiatives
rather than integrating and managing software, or managing multiple vendors for scanning,
imaging and hardcopy storage."
"ASPEN 360 enables Gucci staff to greatly reduce time spent researching
paper-based documentation to support invoice chargebacks and ordering payment issues
across the organization,” said Rick Kushel, President & CEO of Archive Systems. "Their
enterprise-wide approach to going paperless with our hosted, Web-based imaging solution
will allow Gucci to realize greater efficiencies and controls in managing their document
lifecycle."
