Bottomline Introduces Dynamic Reporting for WebSeries® Global Cash Management Platform

Cash Management Decision-Making Optimized Through New Payment Reporting and Web 2.0 Capabilities

PORTSMOUTH, NH – September 11, 2009 - Bottomline Technologies (NASDAQ: EPAY), a leading provider of collaborative payment, invoice and document automation solutions, today announced expanded functionality for its WebSeries Global Cash Management platform, introducing new, dynamic capabilities for payment transactions and cash reporting.

With this new functionality, global banks and financial institutions can offer corporate clients advanced capabilities for constructing user-defined reports that support Web 2.0 best practices. Reports can now be tailored to support the informational requirements of individual job functions by ‘dragging and dropping’ columns, performing arithmetic functions, linking directly to transaction detail from within the reporting tool as well as provide cross-payment trending information. By providing corporate clients with greater control over how reports are compiled, formatted and shared with other users, banks can enable their clients to take a more active role in ‘mining’ the information required to make better decisions concerning their cash management.

“For corporate treasury professionals visibility into cash is paramount, so now more than ever they need flexible tools for forecasting and managing their cash efficiently,” said Eric Campbell, Chief Technology Officer of Bottomline Technologies. “We continue to incorporate the latest technologies and business requirements into our WebSeries platform, providing the greatest value to our customers.”

To get to market quickly with a high-volume domestic and international payments capability, banks and financial institutions around the world rely on Bottomline’s award-winning WebSeries Global Cash Management platform. A single platform for managing payments and providing real-time cash management reporting, WebSeries delivers the security, reliability and rich functionality necessary to deliver the products and user experience required to strengthen customer relationships and develop new markets.
