Why SaaS?
Esker believes SaaS is the appropriate model to facilitate the general and widespread use of document process automation solutions.
Instead of installing and managing software, you simply access it via the Internet. SaaS customers gain valuable automation efficiencies without the need to buy, build, and maintain IT infrastructure to support the technology.

Esker owns the equipment and is responsible for housing, running and maintaining it.
With two data centres in the US and France, six mail facilities in the US, France, Australia, Spain, Singapore and the UK and three fax production facilities, Esker's mail, fax, email and SMS infrastructure handles 10 million monthly pages.

SAS 70 certified
The Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70 certification is an internationally recognised auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A SAS 70 audit is an in-depth analysis of a service organisation's control over information technology and related processes. A SAS 70 audit is often required by public companies for regulatory compliance control and by companies that want assurance that a service organisation's processes, procedures and controls described in the report are operating effectively. Successful completion of a SAS 70 audit indicates that processes, procedures and controls have been formally reviewed.
Companies rely on Esker to host and process their business documents and financial data. In order to guarantee information security and accuracy, Esker engaged in a SAS 70 certified audit initiative. This certification assures our customers' auditors that Esker has effective internal controls to ensure the security of our customers' data. These include administration responsibilities, physical security and environmental safeguards, logical security, application development, change and incident management, and reliable computer operations (backup, monitoring, reporting, storage and system availability). |
