In the quarter ending December 31, 2003, edocs customers presented over 70 million consumer e-bills and processed almost $900 million in consumer e-payments via edocs software. The new milestones illustrate the continued growth in consumer adoption of e-billing and e-payment and reinforce consumers strong preference to view their e-bills and manage their online accounts directly at biller web sites instead of at bank and other bill consolidation sites. Many of the worlds leading companies including British Telecom, Target, Toyota Financial Services and Verizon Wireless use edocs software to power their online billing, payment and customer self-service initiatives at their web sites. These companies and others offer these capabilities because they want to provide customers with 7/24 account access, unmatched convenience and improved service. At the same time, the companies that deploy edocs software benefit from increased customer satisfaction, reduced customer support costs, and significant savings on bill and payment processing.
