cPaperless Announces the Release of CPA SafeMail Version 2.0

From Press Release

DALLAS – cPaperless, LLC (www.cPaperless.com)
announces the release of CPA SafeMail Version 2.0, which is being dubbed the
first “email Portal” or “e-Portal.” The application
is a sophisticated yet easy to use bi-directional document exchange solution
designed to keep accounting firms in compliance with breach of privacy laws.
But it’s different because it combines the best of secure email systems
and client portal solutions into a single application that runs right inside
Outlook. The system allows you to send encrypted email attachments, send and
receive large files (like QuickBooks), receive secure documents from your clients
and even store documents online.

Why CPA SafeMail:
“Client Portals have been one of the biggest buzz words in the industry
lately. Portals provide a variety of features, but secure document exchange
with clients is by far the biggest portal requirement. In fact, in a recent
CPA Technology Advisor webinar, a polling question asked the attendees how they
envision using a client portal. Not surprisingly, secure file exchange was the
most important feature for 77.6% of the responses. But client portals have proven
to be expensive, difficult to implement, hard to train staff on, take a lot
of management time and a vast number of clients simply won’t adopt the
systems. And the document exchange features of a portal – the most important
features – are usually the most complex and cumbersome to use. This complexity
leaves many firms and their clients frustrated, and leaves firms wondering why
only 30% of their clients use their Portal,” said Steve Dusablon, CEO,
cPaperless LLC. “The reality is that many clients simply want their documents
emailed to them. With CPA SafeMail, now you can.”

How It Works:
CPA Safe Mail is comprised of two integrated components. Staff users can perform
all their work right from within the Outlook plug-in. They can send large files,
or they can automatically password protects and encrypts email attachments sent
through their standard email. This powerful plug-in also incorporates many (and
much needed) accounting specific PDF features. It will convert Word and Excel
files to PDF on-the-fly, and will combine, bookmark and restrict them (like
view only) as well. You no longer need to manually convert files to PDF or manually
encrypt them, and the system keeps track of your client’s passwords for
you. Only the Firm Administrator needs to access the Web Based component (SaaS)
of the system to configure and manage their account. The Automated Password
Manager (APM) resides on the web and stores and manages all your users and their
passwords. Clients can send large files through the client drop box.

Ease of Use:
CPA SafeMail is easy to use because it is specifically designed for accountants
and uses a common technology that everyone understands, email. If you know how
to attach a document in a program like Microsoft Outlook, you already know how
to use CPA SafeMail. When asked about V 2.0, Andrew R. Hatfield, VP of cPaperless,
LLC said “We are about building accounting centric products for real-world
implementation, usage and adoption rate success. Simply put, document exchange
systems need to be much easier for firms to manage and clients to use. The ease
of use for end users is at the core of the new features released in CPA SafeMail.
The trick is to make document exchange compliant and secure but also easy and
efficient. Firms and clients need minimum learning and management curves to
be successful. CPA SafeMail continues to be developed as a user friendly application
that is built from the accounting firm perspective with real accounting firms
leading the development strategy. Our ideas come directly from our clients and
that’s why the market reflects our real-world product models.” Pricing
is as low as $8.33 per month.
