Explains the
Competitive Edge Businesses Gain By Running Paperless Businesses,
Insisting on
Electronic Payments
PALO ALTO, CALIF.— Jan. 23, 2013 — Bill.com, the leader in integrated bill
payment, invoicing and cash management solutions for businesses, today
announced that it will reveal how a new generation of “No Check” CEOs are
saving money and increasing results by running paperless, electronic
payment-fueled businesses in a free webinar, “Top Ten Reasons to Be a ‘No
Check’ CEO,” on Monday, January 28, at 1 p.m. PT. Registration is available now
at http://cashflow.bill.com/NoCheckCEOs012813.html.
“No Check” CEOs are business leaders that are using
game-changing technology to digitize a historically paper-based and
time-consuming process. They and their staff can pay bills, send invoices and
reminders, handle approvals, manage documents, and manage cash flow from
anywhere at anytime. And they’re not only eliminating checks – they’re
eliminating paper wherever they can, throughout their organizations, resulting
in great savings in time and money.
The webinar
will feature technology leader Mark Johnson, presently a partner at TTV Capital
and previously Vice Chairman of CheckFree. As creator of
CheckFree's leading online bill payment service, Mark oversaw CheckFree’s growth
from a pre-revenue start-up into a public corporation with more than $1 billion
in annual revenue. Prior to CheckFree, Johnson worked for the Federal Reserve
Bank and Bank One.
Moderated by Bill.com founder and CEO René Lacerte, the webinar will offer
many tips and tricks, including how becoming a “No Check” CEO can help you gain
more
control; better visibility; improved security; and better collaboration.
“It’s been very
exciting for us to see the great results that the new ‘No Check’ CEOs are
achieving with Bill.com and other Cloud solutions,” said René Lacerte, founder
and CEO of Bill.com. “Mark is a legend in the technology community, and we look
forward to an hour filled with fascinating first-hand knowledge of how to build
a successful, paperless business in the Cloud today.”
