AscendoSoft - Whitepaper Outlines Workflow Improvements for Banks and Credit Unions

Redmond, WA – Oct 7, 2010- AscendoSoft Inc., a software and services company, today announced availability of a new whitepaper for the Open Solutions DNA marketplace. The whitepaper, named “Beyond Address Cleansing: The Value of Address Management Workflow Improvements in DNA” outlines issues with the manual efforts as a result of undeliverable addresses and how AscendoSoft can automate these processes. AscendoSoft’s workflow solutions can eliminate tasks, save staff time and effort, and ensure improved accuracy.

Alex Givens, AscendoSoft CTO, adds “Our workflow solutions for DNA were developed through input from our growing customer base. Address Cleansing for DNA is the foundation, however as we were implementing, institutions said it would be great if we could take the cleansing a step further. If an address is undeliverable because someone moved or has an invalid address, there are many follow-on steps taken by service agents to ensure mail is not sent. We’ve automated many of these processes through our software, so institutions can reallocate personnel to other tasks. Our Total Address Management Solution saves significant time.”

AscendoSoft’s Total Address Management Solution for Open Solutions DNA provides institutions with Address Cleansing and Workflow solutions. By combining these solutions, AscendoSoft customers gain significant ROI by eliminating the manual steps needed to halt mailings to changed or invalid addresses. Additional workflow improvements are gained by combining batch and real-time processing with digital signatures and enhanced reporting from AscendoSoft.
