Simpson Technologies Corporation Optimizes Microsoft Dynamics® AX Investment with Transactional Document Automation Capabilities from Bottomline

PORTSMOUTH, NH  and NEW ORLEANS – March 10, 2009 – Bottomline Technologies (NASDAQ: EPAY), a leading provider of collaborative payment, invoice and document automation solutions, today at Microsoft Convergence 2009 announced that Simpson Technologies Corporation, a global manufacturer of technology and services to the metal casting and chemical process industries, has selected Bottomline’s transactional document automation solution to optimize its Microsoft Dynamics AX implementation.

“The types of transactional documents our business needed to generate and process from Microsoft Dynamics AX required third-party consultants to handle the necessary changes to the Microsoft application,” said Julie McMillin, IT Projects Manager of Simpson Technologies Corporation. “By leveraging Bottomline’s out-of-the-box solution to automate our transactional document processes, we’ll be able to bypass these complex changes altogether and redeploy valuable resources to other areas of our business.”

Bottomline’s award-winning document process automation solutions allow organizations to streamline business processes that rely heavily on paper-based documents. By automating the routing, delivery and storage of transactional documents such as invoices, payments and purchase orders, organizations can operate more efficiently and cost-effectively. Integrating with industry-leading enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, Bottomline’s solutions enable users to deliver electronic documents across multiple communication channels.

“Through the use of our solution, businesses standardized on Microsoft Dynamics AX can become less reliant on third-party programmers, gaining greater control over in-house document processes to reduce costs and maximize IT investments,” said Rick Bell, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Bottomline Technologies. “We are delighted that Simpson Technologies Corporation has selected our solution and we look forward to helping them realize the benefits associated with generating and distributing transactional documents electronically.”
