One feature of Eclipse is you can upload supporting documents to the software and it will attach itself to the corresponding transaction. This means if you have a query there is no need to pull the original documents. This saves Auditors and In-House Execs the hassle of pulling that one box all the way from that one storage company, saving loads of hassle. It's a great way to get on an Auditors good side from the beginning;)
