ExpenseWire Beats the Competition as the Only Expense Management Solution Honored

Wooster, Ohio – ExpenseWire.com, a fast rising on-demand travel and expense management software company, today announced that it has again been chosen as a finalist for the prestigious CODiE awards.  This is the second year in a row that the product has received this recognition.  This year, the company makes the finals for “Best Financial Software Solution” and “Best Business Productivity Solution“ in the Software & Information Industry Association’s (SIIA) 23rd Annual CODiE Awards. 

Over 250 judges from the trade press, consulting, educators, IT specialists and other knowledgeable, but neutral, experts have reviewed all of the products entered. The finalists were chosen from more than 1,000 nominations submitted by more than 600 companies.  “Competition is tough this year, and that makes selection as a CODiE finalist a real achievement,” said Ken Wash, SIIA president. “All the companies on this year’s list should feel justifiably proud of their recognition.”   

“Coming off a year in which we registered extraordinary growth in revenue and user adoption, this is yet more recognition that we’re doing the right things for our clients," said Andrew Vaeth, CEO of ExpenseWire.com.  “Our formula is really pretty simple.  First, we’re relentlessly focused on ensuring that our customers receive world-class service.  Second, we strive to deliver exceptional technical quality and interoperability with other applications.  And third, every decision about our software…how it looks, how it flows, how it functions…is made with an equally passionate focus on our end users.  Given the market’s reaction, it seems to be a good formula"

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 has become invaluable to those improving travel and expense management,” 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 travel and expense management needs.  It’s this ecosystem that makes ExpenseWire a continuously improving service that will always represent the best practices of our rapidly-growing, collective user base.”
