Release 8.0 aims to expand reach of accounts payable automation and working capital initiatives
Pleasanton, CA — October 5, 2005 — e-Invoicing specialist Xign Corporation has released the latest version of its flagship suite, adding capabilities to help organizations proactively capture early pay discounts across all invoices, regardless of method of receipt or transactional strategy.
Key features in Release 8.0 of the Xign solution include:
In addition, as it accelerates the settlement cycle, Xign said it improves the opportunity to optimize working capital through early payment discount capture. According to surveys of Fortune 500 companies, the savings from early payment discounts can be from five to ten times greater than the savings resulting from process automation.
"The real value of accounts payables automation lies not only in lower transaction costs but in driving earnings and lucrative cash returns on payables working capital," said Tom Glassanos, Xign president and CEO. "Release 8.0 lets our customers expand the reach and impact of their working capital initiatives across all of their payables processes, whether they be EDI, imaging, paper or Web-based."
