REDMOND, Wash., Dec. 16, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dealer Services
Group of Automatic Data Processing Inc. has added NVoicePay as a
participant to its Third Party Access Program. NVoicePay, a
Portland, Ore.-based software
provider, helps mutual clients eliminate paper invoices and checks
with an integrated electronic payments solution powered by the
Windows Azure cloud platform, Microsoft Corp. reported today.

NVoicePay's AP Assist e-payment solution offers substantial
savings for dealerships that opt into the program. NVoicePay
estimates that paying invoices manually ends up costing several
dollars per check; however, by reducing that transaction cost, each
dealership stands to save tens of thousands of dollars per year
depending on its size.
"Like most midsize companies, many dealerships are using manual
processes for their accounts payables, which is fraught with errors
and inefficiency," said Clifton E.
Mason, vice president of product marketing for ADP Dealer
Services. "NVoicePay's hosted solution is integrated to ADP's
existing dealer management system, which allows our clients to
easily process payables electronically for less than the cost of a
postage stamp."
The NVoicePay solution relies heavily on Microsoft Silverlight
to enable a great user experience across multiple platforms,
including PC, phone and Web. For example, as part of the solution,
a suite of Windows Phone 7 applications allow financial controllers
to quickly perform functions such as approving pending payments and
checking payment status while on the go.
On the back end, the solution is implemented on the Windows
Azure platform. This gives it the ability to work easily with a
range of existing systems, and it also provides the massive
scalability essential for a growth-stage business. According
to NVoicePay, leveraging Windows Azure to enable its payment
network allowed the NVoicePay solution to go from zero to nearly
$50 million in payment traffic in a
single year.
"The Windows Azure model of paying only for the resources you
need has been key for us as an early stage company because the
costs associated with provisioning and maintaining an
infrastructure that could support the scalability we require would
have been prohibitive," said Karla
Friede, chief executive officer, NVoicePay. "Using the
Windows Azure platform, we've been able to deliver enterprise-class
services at a small-business price, and that's a requirement to
crack the midmarket."
