In total, the agreement is intended to cover as many as 7.5 million invoices a year. Already the client is using the SAP integrated solution to automatically process invoices in 15 countries. In total the agreement regards installation in over 100 countries. The value of the agreement exceeds 4 MUSD over a couple of years, making it one of the largest for ReadSoft to date.
