Bottomline Technologies (NASDAQ: EPAY), a leading provider of collaborative payment, invoice and document automation solutions, today announced that research advisory firm Financial Insights, an IDC company, and Tech Decisions have named the company to the 2008 Insurer’s Choice, an annual ranking of the top technology providers serving the insurance industry. Based on the input of more than 600 professionals from the nation’s property & casualty and life & health insurers, the Insurer’s Choice highlights technology providers that contribute the most value toward meeting insurance company objectives. For 2008, Bottomline was identified by insurers as a preferred vendor in six of the survey’s nine categories, including analytics, workflow, financials and operations. "To help insurers leverage technology to achieve their strategic business goals not only requires innovative solutions, but an acute understanding of the challenges and circumstances unique to the insurance industry,” said Rob Eberle, President and CEO of Bottomline Technologies. "It’s this combination of technology and domain expertise that has enabled us to help some of the world’s most respected insurers enhance the value they derive from the processes central to electronic payments, transactional documents and legal spend management.” Insurers use Bottomline solutions such as the WebSeries® enterprise payments platform to streamline claims payment processes and reduce exposure to fraud, and its legal spend management solution Legal eXchange™ to work more collaboratively with outside counsel to proactively manage litigation costs and reduce indemnity.
