Acresso Survey Reveals Opportunities for Software Producers and …

22, 2008
SCHAUMBURG, IL, Oct 22, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) –
Acresso Software, a privately-held company of Thoma Bravo, today
announced results from an annual survey of key issues and trends on
the minds of both software vendor and enterprise IT executives and
managers. Now in its fifth year, the survey, released during the
annual SoftSummit conference, found that while progress is being
made, there are still significant industry shortcomings in software
entitlement and compliance management, as well as in enterprise
license optimization; economic factors are increasing the attention
on both issues. Both software producers and enterprise IT organizations report a low
level of certainty about what customers are entitled to use, and
report slow progress on successfully managing and tracking license
usage information. Looking first at the software producers, close to
half said they did not have a system in place that enables them to
know what product or product versions their customers are using. In
addition, 35% of producers reported that they believe their customers
do not know what products they are entitled to use and what they are
actually using.

, Oct 22, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) –
Laru Corporation, a provider of software applications for ACH risk and
compliance management, announced the general availability of its
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering across its ACH Clarity(TM)
product suite, a Web-based solution that enables financial institutions
to access and monitor ACH transactions. ACH Clarity provides an enterprise system for identifying, resolving and
preventing ACH fraud and compliance issues. The SaaS version enables
financial institutions to quickly and cost-effectively maximize the
value of their software implementations. Running as a complementary platform to an institution’s
core ACH processing system, ACH Clarity monitors ACH transactions,
enables network operators to research problem situations and reports,
manage risk exposure from originator relationships and audit the ACH
pipeline in order to ensure financial institutions are compliant with
NACHA rules and regulations. The solution also provides customized
alerts and reports indicating fraudulent ACH transactions and risk
anomalies, notifying operators when events occur. ACH Clarity was
created in accordance with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s
OCC Bulletin 2006-39, which outlines key components of an effective ACH
risk management program and recommends financial institutions implement
stand-alone ACH audit systems. The introduction of SaaS into Laru Corporation’s
product offering provides community banks and credit unions with the
benefit of using ACH Clarity with enhanced reliability, availability and
security without unexpected expenses or the need for a dedicated IT
department.
