Wellesley, Mass. – May 24, 2010 – THINKstrategies, Inc., the leading strategic consulting company focused on the business implications of the on-demand services market, announced today that Financial Transmission Network, Inc. (FTNI) has been named the latest winner of the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program, which is aimed at promoting the measurable business benefits being delivered by today's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.

The BoSS Awards is an ongoing program which recognizes SaaS companies that are producing tangible business benefits for specific user organizations. These benefits can include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations and greater profitability.

FTNI’s SaaS ePayment platform offers extensive configuration options that make it ideally suited to a wide variety of industry verticals. FTNI’s PCI compliant solution is uniquely designed to offer banks and merchants a solution that not only clears multiple payment types but also reflects that payment activity in the merchant’s A/R system.

An example of the business benefits of FTNI’s SaaS ePayment solution is Professional Veterinary Products, LLC (PVP). By implementing the company’s SaaS Solution, PVP has generated over $3,000 in annual labor savings automating the manual entry of payment information into its proprietary Accounts Receivable system. Now, when the payment is prepared for bank or credit card processing, it is also posted into PVP’s core accounting system where a new invoice file is created and the process repeats itself the next day. When the FTNI’s Level 2 and Level 3 rates are operational, PVP estimates its first year processing rates will be reduced by more than $125,000.

It is for these reasons that Financial Transmission Network, Inc. has been named a Best of SaaS Showplace Award winner. A summary of the company's winning BoSS Award submission can be found at [this URL will be created when the press release is finalized].

“We are pleased to be recognized by THINKstrategies and the SaaS Showplace for the business value of our SaaS solution,” said [company spokesperson]. “[insert additional quote]."

"Today’s SaaS solutions are helping to automate and fundamentally transform legacy business processes,” stated Jeffrey M. Kaplan, the founder of the SaaS Showplace and Managing Director of THINKstrategies, the strategic consulting firm which conceived and administers the Showplace. "FTNI’s ePayment solution clearly illustrates this trend and the business value of this transformation process."
