Bottomline Technologies, a provider of collaborative payment, invoice and document automation applications, today in support of Earth Day 2009 announced the launch of the company’s ‘Think Green’ awards program.
In migrating from paper to electronic business processes, organizations can generate numerous benefits and significant return on investment through more efficient digital workflows and reduced costs. The adoption of electronic transactional processes decreases and often eliminates paper, reducing the impact organizations have on the environment by conserving land and water resources as well as decreasing gasoline consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
For example, a Bottomline customer issuing 10,000 paper payments each month could save more than 184 lbs. of paper, prevent the consumption of more than 2,250 gallons of gasoline and eliminate 22 tons of greenhouse gases by converting just half of these to electronic transactions1.
“Enabling the migration from paper to electronic is a central component of the value Bottomline brings and is a common theme across our entire product portfolio,” says Rob Eberle, president and CEO of Bottomline Technologies. “By deploying our applications, organizations can leverage technology to drive environmentally-friendly business practices, lower their carbon footprint and achieve their environmental goals.”
Bottomline’s award-winning applications for payments, global cash management, electronic invoice processing and document process automation are deployed around the world by leading banks, corporations and financial institutions, including 80 of the Fortune 100 and 70 of the FTSE (Financial Times) 100 organizations.
The company’s ‘Think Green’ awards program recognizes the green initiatives of organizations where Bottomline’s applications are playing a role in helping to reduce the environmental impact of paper-based payment, invoice and other transactional document processes.
