Ignify, a global CRM and ERP consulting firm, eCommerce provider and Microsoft Dynamics Inner Circle Partner, today announced ePayments for Microsoft Dynamics, a hosted invoice payment and management service that gives customers of companies using Microsoft ERP solutions a self-service portal for viewing, managing and paying invoices.
The service was developed in combination with Windows Azure, Microsoft's cloud services platform, designating Ignify a member of Microsoft's Front Runner program, and is an extension of Ignify's payment support for eCommerce sites currently used by over 200 large and medium sized businesses throughout the world.
"Through the technical and marketing support provided by the Front Runner program, we are excited to see the innovative solutions built on the Windows Azure platform by the ISV community," said Doug Hauger, general manager for Windows Azure Microsoft Corp. "The companies who choose to be a part of the Front Runner program show initiative and technological advancement in their respective industries."
ePayments for Microsoft Dynamics is a subscription service based on the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model and offers a viable approach for streamlining accounting operations and improving cash flow by reducing accounts receivables, simplifying direct payment practices, reducing the time to clear checks and eliminating paper checks altogether. Customers login with a unique ID from any computer to manage invoices and make payments via automated clearing house (ACH), electronic checks or credit cards. Filters show open invoices, invoices due today or in the next 30 days as well as invoices created in the last seven to 60 days. In addition, customers can search based on date range, invoice number, account name and other criteria.
"Our ePayments for Microsoft Dynamics service simplifies accounting practices by creating a paperless self-service environment for managing company invoices," stated Sandeep Walia, president of Ignify. "By giving customers of companies who use Microsoft ERP solutions an avenue for quickly logging in and managing their own accounts, companies not only improve cash flow by expediting payments, which is critical in today's economy, but also improve overall customer satisfaction resulting in reduced calls to the service department."
ePayments for Microsoft Dynamics is priced at $399 per month for unlimited users and is fully secure with 256 bit encryption and is certified for PA DSS 1.2 by the PC Standards Council. The service will debut at the Microsoft Convergence conference to be held in Atlanta, GA from Saturday, April 24th to Tuesday, April 27th.
