<<< I hardly think Oracle could create something this late in the game. As a potential competitior to CKFR, they aren't. Oracle could be a great partner for CheckFree, they could link all those merchants to Checkfree's E-Bill, CheckFree could process all those payments. Both companies win.>>> I wonder if they're talking. I'm glad to know Oracle isn't likely to be a competitor. CKFR's footprint keeps getting bigger. :) Pat

In related to Oracle news, does anybody on this thread know Checkfree's plan to capture the corporate bill payment/trasaction market ? What I have seen so far is, it seems CKFR is primarily working with banks and utility companies which has more to do with individual's payment and transaction. They did not mention anything about corporate part of their business. I am sure they will capture some of those futurecorporate transaction business through the banks. But what if the corporates find a way to bypass the banks in the future ? Possible ? The reason I am asking this question is, I found in the past that it is easy to make money from the corporates thanfrom the individuals. This has been the case for the airline industry, for the long distance phone companies, and for the computer manufacturers ....They essentially rely on the corporate market for a healthy profit margin. Any information or clarification will be appreciated.
