ExpenseWire® Chosen as 2007 CODiE Awards Finalist.
Software & Information Industry Association Honors ExpenseWire as "Best Software as a Service Solution"

Wooster, Ohio – ExpenseWire.com, a leader in on-demand expense report management software, today announced that it has been chosen as a Finalist for “Best Software as a Service Solution” in the Software & Information Industry Association’s (SIIA) 22nd Annual CODiE Awards.  The Best Software as a Service (SaaS) category awards the best software service solution accessible through the Internet or an internal network.  By becoming a finalist, ExpenseWire has bested many high-caliber products in the software and information industry.

Established in 1986, the CODiE Awards is the longest-running awards program in the software and information industry, showcasing the software and digital content industry’s most innovative products and services.  The CODiE Awards is the only peer–recognition awards program of its kind, providing a unique opportunity for companies to earn the praise of their competitors. The 2007 CODiE Awards will be presented at a black-tie gala on April 17, 2007 at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, CA.

“The 2007 CODiE Finalists represent real winners, even at this stage of the contest,” said Ken Wasch, SIIA President. “Competition is fiercer than ever and that makes selection as a CODiE Finalist a major achievement. All the companies on this year’s list should feel justifiably proud of their recognition.”  

Out of 1,195 products nominated for CODiE Awards, only six were selected finalists in the Best SaaS Solution category.  Given the substantial flow of capital into the SaaS space and a sector growth rate among the highest in the software industry, the SaaS category is viewed by many as one of the most substantial drivers of future software.  With a combination of current and in-process deployments to hundreds of thousands of users, ExpenseWire has emerged as a one of the most visible examples of how SaaS can rapidly deliver value to end users and enterprise clients.  Characterized by quick implementations, minimal training requirements and rapid ROI, ExpenseWire is the epitome of future software.

“Coming off a year in which we registered triple-digit quarterly growth and extraordinary user adoption, this CODiE selection is yet more recognition that we’re doing the right things for our clients," said Andrew Vaeth, CEO of ExpenseWire.com.  “Putting the user first while providing a compelling service that is easy to try, easy to buy and easy to justify to organizations – it’s the formula behind our significant organic growth.  The CODiE program showcases the finest products and services in the industry, and being chosen as a finalist is great motivation for all of us here at ExpenseWire."

In addition to the rapid rate of organic subscriber growth, ExpenseWire is also seeing significant velocity in its partner distribution channels.  “By building smart technology integrations with our partners, our solution is becoming part of a highly productive ecosystem,” added Mr. Vaeth.  “We’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the finest firms in the market, all of which have materially contributed to our product’s solid lock on customer needs.  It’s this ecosystem working in combination with our unique, rapid application deployment methodology that makes ExpenseWire a continuously improving service that will always represent the best practices of the collective.”
