Rochester, Minn., (May 30, 2014)-OneNeck^® IT Solutions, a leading cloud services and ERP Application Management provider, announced today they have signed a new three-year contract to provide ReliaCloud^TM for Minnesota-based Metafile. The cloud-based hosting solution, known as ReliaCloud, is designed for resource-intensive applications and databases that require a secure and compliance-ready operational framework. 

Established in 1979, Metafile is an established, independent and efficient provider of paperless document management software applications supporting accounts payable, accounts receivable and human resources departments in middle-market and large businesses nationwide. Metafile also provides one of the industries most cost-effective cloud based CRM and donor management solutions for non-profit organizations. To date, more than 3,500 organizations have translated Metafile's information management solutions into an enterprise-wide value and competitive advantage. 

According to Jeff Boe, vice president of Operations and a Partner at Metafile, the company built its own data center a year ago and has since been developing new products in it. Prior to their relocation to OneNeck's ReliaCloud, the company has been in a traditional colocation setting where they own and manage all of their servers, storage and networking equipment.

Boe says, "Moving to OneNeck is one of our most strategic decisions. We know data centers and the technology that's involved. We want to put our most valuable assets, our IT infrastructure, in OneNeck's data center. We're going to do it using their ReliaCloud service. The ReliaCloud model gives us much-needed flexibility and elasticity in our IT hosting environment. It will allow us to quickly ramp up or down based on our business needs."

Although Metafile had been using a colocation provider for many years, the company was looking for an end-to-end IT provider. Boe noted that as soon as he read about all the companies coming together as OneNeck IT Solutions, he knew that's where Metafile needed to be.

"OneNeck represents a great platform for our hosted solutions and our internal IT needs," said Nick Sprau, VP of Marketing for Metafile. "We are also working with their ERP application management division to offer MetaViewer Paperless ERP solutions to existing Microsoft Dynamics AX and Baan from Infor customers all in a single, totally managed and secure ReliaCloud environment."

"Metafile will benefit from moving their IT infrastructure to our ReliaCloud platform," says Terry Swanson, senior vice president, Solutions Providers at OneNeck. "By leveraging our high-performance cloud computing platform, their mission-critical business applications, which require reliable and scalable computing infrastructure, are guaranteed to be operational and backed by our 100 percent uptime guarantee."

Rochester, Minn., Oct. 14, 2013 - Metafile, developer of the fully automated MetaViewer paperless technology for corporate accounting departments, today announced a Fast Track Implementation solution for integrating MetaViewer with Microsoft Dynamics enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms.

Fast Track is designed to get accounts-payable staff up and running with an automated paperless system in just 30 days. The Fast Track solution is designed to handle three key types of documents: invoices based on purchase orders; non-PO invoices; and related documentation, such as packing slips, AP checks and other transaction records.

After the Fast Track MetaViewer solution has been implemented, Metafile consultants will meet with accounting personnel to plan additional and unique capabilities that the company may require, to be developed in a second phase of implementation.

"Fast Track is meant to help businesses rapidly capitalize on technology that can eliminate paper from their AP processes," said Metafile vice president of technical services, Jim Mandt, "improving the speed and the accuracy of financial reports, cutting the costs of storing and managing paper documents, and allowing the company to take advantage of vendor incentives for on-time payments. MetaViewer offers a wide range of capabilities, and Fast Track sets AP departments on the path for immediate efficiency improvements along with future benefits."

To initiate the Fast Track service, the Metafile customer simply downloads implementation software. Following the configuration of the standard network and internet hardware, a Metafile project team guides the customer through the implementation process. Then, through a virtual private network or other fast remote connection, Metafile begins remote software implementation and initial training to complete the process.

Metafile demonstrates the Fast Track solution on the customer's system with their own invoices and provides introductory training so that the customer can begin processing paperless invoices right away. Training typically is offered in sessions of one to two hours. Topics include learning how to scan paper-based documents into MetaViewer; creating vendor profiles; administering the MetaViewer solution; training users in routing documents; approving invoices; posting GL information directly into Microsoft Dynamics and other steps based on AP automation best practices developed over the many years Metafile has been providing Paperless ERP solutions.

 "We have combined all of the advantages of an inexpensive off-the-shelf product without the restrictions on scalability, performance, or ability to tailor to our customers' unique and additional requirements," said Nick Sprau, vice president of marketing at Metafile.

The MetaViewer Fast Track solution represents best practices perfected during more than 30 years that Metafile has been providing paperless solutions. It allows customers to quickly realize the benefits of MetaViewer, become proficient at utilizing Paperless ERP within a very easy to understand and maintain web-based environment. Once that is achieved, even greater benefit can then be realized by using all of the power MetaViewer has to offer customized specifically to each business and expanded to other departments.

Combined with Microsoft Dynamics ERP technology, MetaViewer automates the complete range of accounts payable and accounts receivable processes.
