Metafile Information Systems Announces New MetaViewer Document Management Partnership with Catalina Technologies
ROCHESTER, MN AUGUST 26, 2016
Metafile Information Systems is a leading provider of AP automation and document management solutions for Microsoft Dynamics ERPs. Metafile announced today that its document management solution, MetaViewer, now seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Dynamics SL through a joint partnership with Catalina Technology.
The MetaViewer for Microsoft Dynamics SL solution has been standardized to integrate using the Catalina CTAPI Web Services, specifically the Finance Module which is a subset of available SL Web Services from Catalina. This is the most up-to-date and efficient integration method for passing data from MetaViewer to SL.
By utilizing Catalina's web service, MetaViewer is able to export non-purchase order invoices to Microsoft Dynamics SL. This allows the system to push both header and line item details to the SL Voucher and Adjustment screen.
"This innovative solution puts us squarely into the leadership position for AP automation for Microsoft Dynamics SL," Nick Sprau, VP of marketing and sales at Metafile Information Systems said.
The integration uses a browser-based interface, making it easy and efficient for AP employees to be in-the-know about where documents are in the financial process. It also will further streamline MetaViewer's current integration with Microsoft Dynamics SL.
MetaViewer has two components to its integration for Dynamics SL; lookups and exports. The lookups are handled via linked server. The exports are handled by Web Services. Lookups require read access to all the Dynamics SL databases, including all companies that will be integrated. This access is required for the MetaViewer Profile Builder workstation, the MetaViewer administration workstation, MetaViewer services and MetaViewer web application. Exports require read, write and execute access to the Dynamics SL company databases. In the MetaViewer deployment, only Web Services will require this access. It can be managed by active directory group, active directory user or by a dedicated SQL user.
"Our joint partnership means that we can continue to provide the most state-of-the-art, technologically advanced document management for Microsoft Dynamics solution possible," Sprau said. "We're excited to be able to showcase our ability to work together with Microsoft Dynamics SL and Catalina."
