In 2001, BCT Guiding Documents and SG Automatisering integrated BCT’s CORSA document management system with SG’s real estate administration system (SG|tobias) for the first time. Since then, this combination has also been implemented about thirty times by real estate administrators throughout the Netherlands, e.g. by wonenCentraal in Alphen aan den Rijn. When the SG housing corporation wanted to automate its invoice flow, SG once again turned to BCT. The result: the first successful integration of CORSA/INVOICE with SG|tobias.

“SG|tobias offers a total solution, unlike the solutions proposed by other suppliers (where, in addition, you have to purchase and connect other systems for certain applications, with all of the ensuing consequences). With SG|tobias, everything that you need can be purchased or integrated on a modular basis.” ”, states Sander Monté, the mail and archive coordinator at wonenCentraal.  “We also use CORSA Document Management to record and archive all correspondence to and from the renters and the association of owners.”

In September 2006, wonenCentraal asked SG Automatisering to propose options for digitalizing the invoice flow. Since the housing corporation was already using the SG|tobias/CORSA combination, CORSA/INVOICE from BCT was the obvious choice. However, since this was the first time that CORSA/INVOICE and SG|tobias were connected to each other, BCT and SG had to research and develop quite a lot of things. Also, in order to ensure a smooth transition to the new system, workshops were organized in advance for everybody who had to work with CORSA/INVOICE. These workshops were specifically designed for the different users. In the future, WonenCentraal intends to digitalize more document flows. At the moment, they are researching whether they will use CORSA/CAPTURE (the new, innovative scanning application from BCT) for the next step.

Other housing corporations have also expressed a lot of interest in the successful integration of SG|tobias and CORSA/INVOICE. Meanwhile, Monté has already provided explanations and a demonstration for seven housing corporations during reference visits.
