Distributed Check Issuance

As the nation's largest "corporation", government agencies spend a great deal of time and money issuing checks like AP, payroll, social security disbursements and welfare payments. As an essential function it comes down to efficiency: is there a way to streamline the check printing process to help cut costs and save time?

Source Technologies' comprehensive distributed check issuance solution combines our eDocSecure enterprise-wide check printing software and our secure, standard or multi-function MICR (magnetic ink character recognition) laser check printers. Together they provide a fast, cost-effective and secure way to conduct remote, on-demand printing of MICR checks and other sensitive documents, while maintaining centralized control of the process.

Our solution gives government agencies with many locations a more efficient and effective method for printing MICR checks remotely, rather than at a central office. Driven by a secure Internet connection, eDocSecure is accessible to local staff who can print MICR-encoded checks in real time. And the functionality of the MFP printer includes printing, scanning, copying and faxing. This allows for device consolidation and streamlining of business process workflow.

Together eDocSecure and Source Technologies' MICR printers offer the most secure way to print checks available today. All data is encrypted throughout the process, from the central location to the remote PC and all the way to the printer. Source Technologies' printers "talk back" in real-time to eDocSecure, so you always know the status of your disbursements. Complete transaction visibility, electronic auditing, and full reporting make this solution robust and easy-to-use.

This distributed check issuance system provides many benefits for government agencies with multiple locations:

• Remotely request all types of checks including AP and payroll checks, social security distributions and welfare payments, on-demand in every location, while ensuring centralized control and visibility
• Reduce time and money spent processing and reconciling official checks, reviewing logs and tracing missing items
• Fully automate control, reporting, and auditing over your check issuance process
• Eliminate official check fraud: on-demand checks eliminate the cost and risk of purchasing, handling, storing, and securing pre-printed check stock
• Eliminate the delay in receiving the issued check as well as courier costs

Electronic auditing, and full reporting make this solution robust and easy-to-use. With Source Technologies' on-demand distributed check issuance solution, secure documents can be sent in real time. The implementation of a centrally managed system at your remote locations facilitates secure remote check printing, and can eliminate many manual processes and drastically cut operational expenses.
