PLEASANTON, Calif., Aug. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Xign Corporation, the leading provider of on-demand Order to Pay software, has been recognized by PayStream Advisors, a financial automation research and consulting firm, as the market leader in invoice and payment automation. Xign is profiled in a new report titled, "Web Invoicing and Electronic Payments: Moving Beyond the Paper," which examines the rapidly growing market for solutions that leverage Internet technology to automate invoice and payment-related activities in a business- to-business environment.

Xign and its business partner JPMorgan Chase are among the vendors featured in the PayStream report. In the report, Xign is recognized as the market leader based upon solution vision and demonstrable market traction. The comprehensive report also discusses the key features and benefits of Web Invoicing & Electronic Payments and the factors shaping market evolution. According to PayStream Advisors, the number of B2B invoices delivered through a Web Invoicing solution will experience a 31.25 percent compound annual growth rate through 2010.

Xign provides a complete service for managing the electronic transmission of purchase orders, invoices, and payments across the Internet. By shifting from paper to an electronic payables process, organizations can reduce their financial settlement costs by more than 50% while greatly enhancing visibility and control for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. By accelerating the settlement cycle, Xign optimizes working capital to the benefit of both buyers and suppliers. Xign also delivers compelling value to suppliers, including real- time transaction visibility, delivery of detailed remittance information with every electronic payment, no transaction fees, and the opportunity to get paid faster.

"There are many reasons why Xign has established a dominant position for itself in the Web Invoicing and Electronic Payments space. The strength of the functionality speaks for itself, while the Xign shared supplier network delivers more value than a mere point-to-point solution, such as a supplier portal. The shared supplier network architecture makes an enrolled supplier available to all buyers, accelerating the return on investment in Xign," according to Sush Koka, senior research analyst at PayStream Advisors. "Additionally, Xign shines in the area of dynamic discounting. Xign's discounting model delivers an additional income stream to buyers while providing a low-cost payment alternative to suppliers."

"Xign remains committed to delivering the industry's premiere electronic payables solution for the enterprise," said George Fan, Xign vice president of marketing. "We're pleased that PayStream Advisors has recognized the success of our on-demand approach in helping organizations to reduce costs and better manage working capital while enhancing control."
