NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2008 – Viewpointe®, the nation’s leading provider of check image exchange and archive services, has been selected by Bank Technology News as one of The Innovators 2008, an annual ranking of the 25 most advanced people, companies and technologies in financial services.
Each year, BTN selects the industry’s top Innovators from a field of more than 200 companies that reflect outstanding commitment to innovation and customer service, redefining what’s possible through the use of technology in financial services.
“We have kept a close eye on Viewpointe over the past year and have been thoroughly impressed by its product and service innovation as well as its continued growth in new business,” stated Holly Sraeel, editorial director of Bank Technology News. “Our selection of Viewpointe as one of the top 25 innovators is based on the company’s progressive thinking which has expanded its offerings to existing customers while presenting new, cost-effective solutions that have appeal to institutions of any size.”
Since 2007, Viewpointe has:
- Introduced its Image Integrity™ Risk Mitigation tool: a breakthrough product designed specifically to help financial institutions manage the risks associated with check image and data mismatches that can occur during check processing.
- Developed the Pointe2Pointe® Internet Connectivity option: allowing banks with check image volumes of 75 million or less to quickly, easily and cost-effectively engage in image exchange via Viewpointe through the Internet, helping to complete the “last mile” in image exchange.

“We are truly honored to be recognized as a ‘top innovator’ by Bank Technology News,” said Lou Buglioli, Viewpointe CEO. “In the current economic landscape, Viewpointe continues to see strong demand for cost-effective solutions as financial institutions feel even greater pressure on costs and revenues to seek more effective ways in which to run their operations.
