ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - June 18, 2007) - AdvanceMe, Inc. (AMI), the nation's foremost
provider of Merchant Cash Advances for small and mid-sized businesses,
announced today that it was named as the Winner in the Best MIS & IT
Organization category at The 2007 American Business Awards.
Hailed as "the business world's own Oscars" (New York Post, April 27,
2005), The American Business Awards are the only national, all-encompassing
awards program honoring great performances in business.
Stevie Award winners were announced during the annual gala on Monday, June
11 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. More than 700
executives from across the U.S.A. attended. The ceremony was videocast on
the Internet and broadcast on radio, and hosted by Larry Wilmore of TV's
"THE DAILY SHOW with JON STEWART."
More than 2,000 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every
industry were submitted for consideration in more than 40 categories,
including Best Overall Company, Best Executive, Best New Product or
Service, and Best Corporate Social Responsibility Program. AdvanceMe
competed in the Best MIS & IT Organization category along with such
esteemed companies as NCR, ETrade and John Hancock Signature Services.
AdvanceMe's nomination and win is credited to its Data, Systems and
Technology (DST) Division and its development of an Enterprise Information
System (EIS). EIS is an advanced, scalable system that provides data
capture as well as reporting capabilities. AdvanceMe leverages the
system's capabilities to address the issue of workflow management and
information analysis throughout the customer lifecycle. By organizing and
collecting information from pre-application and submission completion and
then throughout the life of its main product, a Merchant Cash Advance, the
company is able to more effectively handle customers, manage sales and
marketing programs and create predictive models that increase opportunity
and minimize risk. This proprietary system rivals that of much larger
corporations, and enables AdvanceMe to effectively and efficiently provide
working capital to small and mid-sized business owners.
"We are proud to have our distinguished Data, Systems and Technology
Division recognized for their development of this cutting edge system and
are excited to be in the company of such leading edge firms. We strive to
constantly improve our service to our customers through investment in
technology, and have a great DST team behind us supporting that objective,"
explained Glenn Goldman, chief executive officer of Capital Access Network,
the parent company of AdvanceMe, Inc. "The system has enabled AdvanceMe to
speed up the merchant approval process while increasing the work capacity
of our employees. We honor our DST team and its achievement with this
esteemed award."
