Accounts Payables Professionals Vote Lavante Best Vendor

 
San Jose, Calif. – May 5, 2009 – Lavante, formerly AuditSolutions, the leading provider of on–demand profit recovery solutions for Fortune 1000 companies, announced that it was voted the top vendor by accounts payables professionals attending the IAPP Conference April 19-23 at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, Orlando, Fla. Additionally, Lavante’s two conference sessions were well received by standing room only attendees. This recognition comes after recent Lavante news of record revenue growth, new funding, and a name change announced April 20. Lavante also won the award for most Twitters from the show, which were posted to twitter.com/lavanteinc.

 
In today’s economy, companies cannot afford to miss opportunities to recover cash. In a market dominated by traditional and labor-intensive AP auditing processes that only deal with a sample of vendors, AP departments are challenged to cope with the inefficiencies of a large and ever-changing vendor population. Lavante’s on-demand Strategic Recovery solution can enable Fortune 1000 companies to recover three times the amount of cash typical with traditional recovery audits. In addition, Lavante’s Vendor Information Management software provides an accurate, up-to-date view of a company’s entire vendor population, creating new opportunities for negotiating better pricing and terms. Lavante’s solutions are empowering people in the procurement-to-payables process to make a more strategic contribution to their corporation.
