Abel Solutions Builds Web-Based Automated Clearing House Application Utilizing Microsoft .NET Technology

ATLANTA, --

Abel Solutions Inc. recently completed the successful development and implementation of a Web-based Automated Clearing House (ACH) solution for Goldleaf Technologies Inc., a leading provider of Internet banking products and services to community and regional financial institutions.

Abel used Microsoft .NET technology as the framework for the solution, which offers Goldleaf's approximately 10,000 originators nationwide the option to originate ACH transactions via the Internet. Goldleaf wanted to quickly complete the Goldleaf Client project by using the latest, state-of-the-art development tools. Though Microsoft .NET was brand new when the project was first proposed, Abel and Goldleaf determined it offered the best possible framework for quickly developing the application while meeting the broad demands of Goldleaf's business requirements. The .NET technology also enables seamless integration with a wide variety of languages.

"By using the Microsoft .NET platform, we were able to develop a rich, robust solution for Goldleaf to introduce to the marketplace," explained Kevin Abel, president of Abel Solutions. "In addition to enabling a timely implementation, this technology establishes a foundation for the development of future generations of ACH applications."

The Goldleaf Client designed by Abel Solutions provides a custom-branded interface for more than 1,000 community/regional banks and other financial institutions around the country. The solution delivers greater control by using the most cost-effective delivery channel available - the Internet. As a result, Goldleaf customers are no longer burdened by costly onsite software installations or not being on the last version of the ACH product.

"We were very impressed with Abel Solutions' core expertise," said David Peterson, EVP of Goldleaf Technologies Inc. "They had experience in our industry, they were very interested in partnering with us on this project and, most importantly, they adhered to our specific design requirements while suggesting and ultimately adding additional features that have made our product stronger."

Beyond enabling Goldleaf customers to safely create and manage ACH transactions over the Web, the Goldleaf Client service has added important new features, such as an online data import tool, expanded company controls and added security.

"We have already received numerous positive comments from our users," continued Peterson. "Both new and converting customers like the ease of implementation, as well as the fact that the system can be used in both a service bureau and in-house modes."

Abel Solutions, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, hopes to capitalize on the success of the solution by strategically positioning the company for similar mission-critical software projects with .NET at the core.

"The Goldleaf Client project positions us as a highly capable and trusted development partner for companies looking to leverage the tremendous potential of the Microsoft .NET framework," stated Abel.

Abel Solutions Inc. combines outstanding technical expertise and a proven development methodology with the collaborative potential of the Internet to build dynamic, Web-based business solutions enabling creative, efficient interaction between a company and its customer, partners and employees.
