Electronic "paperless" purchasing software?

[Russ Smith]

Anybody work somewhere that uses something like that and can recommend it as being good?

I'm going bananas at work with the amount of paperwork our current system requires due to SOX. If i get a quote for HVAC repairs, even though I have a contract with the vendor. I have to do an agreement authorization form with the purchase req to get the work done. that all goes to my boss to sign, and then on to legal, finance and sometimes the CEO(depending on cost). They all make paper copies and sign with a pen and paper and mail copies to the vendor etc.

It's 2007 there has GOT to be some system that can do all this stuff paperless?

Depends on how much you want to spend. There is Oracle, SAP, Microsoft AX, Solomen, and Great Plains, there are more out their but how big is your company and how much are they willing to spend?

200 people max, and they're not going to buy anything big. Was wondering if there's a standalone system that I could recommend to our IT guys but my guess is if there was, they'd be looking at it. They're going as nuts as I am since they have the same issue.

We literally have filled an entire 8 x 12 cube with files that are nothing but paper copies of signature pages and contracts related to PO's because of our legal group. Just seems like it ought to be possible to approve that stuff via computer and save the approval electronically?
