How CloudConnect's Microservices Transform Document Automation

In today's fast-paced business world, efficiency isn't just a bonus, it's essential. At CloudConnect we're redefining how companies handle accounts payable and receivable processes. But what truly sets us apart? Our microservice architecture, designed for unmatched scalability and adaptability.

What Are Microservices?

Imagine building a house with one massive, unbreakable block versus using flexible Lego bricks. Traditional software often acts like that single block—rigid and hard to change. Microservices, on the other hand, break applications into smaller, independent "services" that work together seamlessly. Each service handles a specific task, like extracting data from invoices or validating payment details. At CloudConnect, this approach powers our solutions for processing almost any document format, whether digital PDFs or scanned analogs.

Scalability

Businesses aren't static; they ebb and flow with demand. A sudden surge in invoices during peak seasons? No problem. Our microservices allow you to scale individual components effortlessly—ramp up data extraction capacity without touching the rest of the system. This means:

• Cost Savings: Only pay for what you use, with flexible models like Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) or Fully Managed Services.

• Reliable Performance: Handle millions of documents for global clients without slowdowns or crashes.

• Cloud-Powered Efficiency: Built on modern cloud infrastructure, our services expand dynamically, ensuring your operations stay smooth even as your business grows.

No more overhauling entire systems or dealing with downtime. CloudConnect makes scaling feel effortless, keeping your team focused on what matters: growth.

Adaptability

Markets evolve, regulations shift, and new technologies emerge. Our microservices shine here by enabling quick updates and integrations. Need to incorporate the latest AI for better accuracy in data validation? We can deploy it independently, without disrupting your workflows. Key advantages include:

• Rapid Innovation: Add features like real-time enrichment or custom automations in hours, not months.

• Seamless Integration: Easily connect with your existing ERP or accounting tools for end-to-end automation.

• Future-Proof Design: Adapt to new document types or compliance needs with minimal effort, ensuring your processes remain agile and compliant.

• Tailored bespoke solutions: Need a solution tailored to your needs? Let us know and we can seamlessly integrate into your service.

This translates to fewer headaches for our users and gives them more control. Whether you're a small business opting for a managed service or a large enterprise choosing fixed price self hosted deployment.

Robust Security

Data breaches can devastate a business. CloudConnect prioritizes ironclad security to protect your sensitive financial documents. Our microservices architecture enhances protection by isolating each component. An issue in one area can't compromise the entire system, like watertight compartments on a ship. We employ encryption for data in transit and at rest, granular access controls to ensure only authorized users interact with specific services. These precautions allow us to operate to standards such as GDPR, ISO 27001 and ISO 9001. With CloudConnect, your business isn't just efficient, it's securely fortified against evolving threats.

Managed Service or Self Hosted

Not all businesses have the same needs. That's why CloudConnect offers flexible deployment options to fit your unique requirements. Whether you prefer hands-off management or a dedicated setup for specific integrations.

Our standard managed service runs seamlessly on our Azure tenant. We handle everything from setup to maintenance. This cloud-based approach delivers hassle-free automation, with built-in scalability and security. So you can focus on your core operations without IT overhead.

For enterprises connected to networks like Taulia or SAP Ariba (SBN), we deploy a dedicated copy of our system directly on SBN Delivering fast, compliant processing tailored to those ecosystems.

The Future of Our Microservices

As we innovate at CloudConnect, our next architecture evolution embraces a "hub-and-spoke model" to elevate microservices orchestration and simplicity.

Imagine a central "hub" as the intelligent coordinator; directing workflows, routing data, and facilitating communication. The independent "spokes" manage specialized tasks like data extraction or validation. This setup cuts through the clutter of direct connections, slashing complexity and bottlenecks. For your business, it will deliver ultra-fast scalability: add or upgrade spokes seamlessly without halting operations, adapting to surges or new capabilities instantly. It will boost adaptability with centralized updates for compliance or AI advancements, all while upholding our security and reliability.
