Our Subscribers Say...

Credit Today's Resource Directory and their online e-mail forum (ListServ) provide information on almost any credit-related topic you can think of. It is a great way to exchange information with other credit professionals. As the saying goes, "You don't know what you don't know."
- Scott Goen, Credit Manager, Big Lots Stores, Inc., Wholesale Division

"We've recently started using the ListServ tool within Credit Today. This is phenomenal and powerful forum for gaining immediate feedback, ideas, and suggestions, relative to any credit topic under the sun, all in a real-time e-mail format."
-Javier Vela, Senior Credit Manager, Global Credit Services, JDA Software Group Inc.

"Being a part of the Credit Today online community is like having the expertise of hundreds of credit managers at your fingertips. These credit execs are willing to help you solve topical business issues as they arise. In the current environment of ever increasing competing priorities which reduce our opportunities to meet peers out of the office face-to-face, this is the most valuable tool you can have on your desktop! It's important that we have a mechanism to reach out to our counterparts quickly to exchange knowledge as well as to stay on top of industry trends."
- Victoria Artis, Director of Customer Financial Services, Pfizer, Inc.

"Over the last 10 years I've seen Credit Today evolve from a monthly credit publication into a quality source of information and guidance for the B2B credit community. The website, with its user friendly form downloads, will take you from examples of new account credit applications to bankruptcy forms and everything in between.

The Credit Today ListServ has become the pre-imminent online forum, providing an opportunity for discussion and comments (and occasional humor) from an impressive list of credit professionals."
David Dungan, Director of Credit
Justin Brands, Inc. (A Berkshire Hathaway company)
Fort Worth, Texas

"There are numerous credit periodicals available to the credit professional today. How good is Credit Today? Is it relevant? I always have to read it late, or online because my credit analysts want to read it the minute it comes in. When my staff wants to read a publication before I have a chance to read it then something is working in that publication. We have cancelled our other subscriptions. When you have the best you do not need the rest."
Ron Woods
Corporate Credit Manager-World Wide
Thales Navigation, Inc.

"The newsletter, coupled with the website and the ListServ, are to us, more valuable than any other credit publication, bar none. I try to use at least one article out of each newsletter for departmental training/discussion sessions."
D. Mark Constantine
Corporate Credit Mgr
Fulton Paper Company

"I love Credit Today and read every issue cover to cover. For me, the greatest perk of a subscription is ListServ. I believe Credit Today's ListServ members may be the most knowledgeable Credit brain trust in existence today. I have saved and categorized hundreds of contributions on a wide variety of topics which I refer to often. It's an easy and cost effective way to network and learn."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A2iA CheckReader and Chesapeake's T-Recs Enterprise intelligently process check-images on a robust reconciliation platform to close one of the biggest loopholes in payment fraud.

NEW YORK, March 1, 2010 - A2iA (Artificial Intelligence and Image Analysis), a leading provider of tools for document analysis and handwritten data extraction, announced today that its comprehensive check-processing toolkit, A2iA CheckReader™, has been integrated into Chesapeake System Solutions, Inc.®'s Total Reconciliation Solution (T-Recs®) Enterprise, an account reconciliation and deposit verification software. A2iA CheckReader's advanced image analysis and intelligent recognition engines enable software applications to capture handwritten and machine printed information from all areas of a check or related payment document. Together with T-Recs Enterprise, this integrated solution provides Chesapeake's customers with advanced bank account reconciliation and positive pay functionality, combating bank payment fraud.

T-Recs Enterprise offers banks a robust, scalable, service-oriented architecture, which can integrate seamlessly with existing back-office systems. The solution delivers its advanced functionality in a server environment, lowering operational costs and facilitating innovation in the delivery of high-profile, fee-generating cash management services. T-Recs Enterprise's browser client makes it simple to offer Web-based services to corporate customers and allows banks to do so at a fraction of the cost. T-Recs Enterprise delivers standard (next day and same day), payee, ACH, wire, teller and reverse positive pay services with image integration for initial scrubbing and customer pay/no-pay decisions.

"Intelligently processing check images on a robust reconciliation platform offers an opportunity to close one of the biggest loopholes in payment fraud. A2iA CheckReader offers an unparalleled solution to this complex problem, while T-Recs Enterprise is by far the most advanced reconciliation system on the market today," said John Snyder, Chesapeake's Director of Business Development. "Bringing together these two solutions yields the perfect technology combination.

Banks implementing this system will be able to provide their corporate customers some truly unique services."

Chesapeake's T-Recs Enterprise is available as a licensed software offering, a hosted solution, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution and an outsourced service.

"Positive pay is a topic gaining more attention in the industry today, especially as attempts at fraud become more sophisticated. Chesapeake is leading the way in this market niche, and A2iA is proud to partner with such a forward-looking organization," said Jean-Louis Fages, A2iA President and Chairman of the Board. "A2iA CheckReader's precision-engineered, advanced image analysis and proprietary recognition engines offer fast read-rates and unparalleled accuracy, which complement the functionality T-Recs Enterprise offers."
