Xerox Capital Services Chooses Avolent?s Online Invoicing

San Francisco, CA ? Avolent Inc., the leading provider of the leading provider of Interactive eBilling software, today announced that Xerox Capital Services, LLC (a joint venture of an affiliate GE Capital Corporation and Xerox Corporation), has selected Avolent’s BizCast™ web-based invoicing solution. Xerox Capital will be the first in the industry to offer customers online self-service to review, parse, dispute, approve and pay invoices. Using BizCast, Xerox Capital anticipates significantly reducing invoice process costs, streamlining IT operations, and lowering Day Sales Outstanding (DSO), while setting new industry standards in customer service.

The Leasing Industry Today ? more than the “Art of the Deal”
Equipment leasing is a $200 billion industry in the U.S. with over 35% of all business capital being leased. With “commoditized” products and aggressive competitors, leasing firms can no longer depend on winning deals based on price or products, but must focus on operational efficiency and customer service to maintain a competitive edge. Xerox Capital realized that one area of high operational costs and immense frustration for both leasing firms and their customers was the manual and complex invoicing process, where the invoices vary significantly each month based on usage of the equipment (i.e. number of copies) and how companies charge back equipment within their organization.

“With millions of invoices sent every year, billing represents a critical interaction with our diverse group of customers and their specific product and service needs”, stated Kevin Divine, eBusiness Leader at Xerox Capital. “We believe that Avolent?s online solution can help Xerox Capital reduce the cost and administrative workload for invoice processing.” Xerox Capital Services successfully deployed the application in April of 2005.

“Xerox Capital understands that you don’t have to sacrifice raising the bar on customer service to achieve operational effectiveness,” stated Doug Roberts, chief executive officer of Avolent. “We are pleased to support Xerox Capital in leading the industry in this effort ? minimizing the back-office financial cost and resource commitment of invoice processing and payment.”
