>> I would guess that with MSFDC model; the core software is a Microsoft product. Also, this implies that MSFDC is inside the heart of an organizations financial books to get to this data unless there are some very strong firewalls. Then you have the ongoing expense of updating the data inside the firewall; which I guess you have with CKFR as well. I'm not sure that this is true in any case - it's certainly not true in every case, at least not for CF. Look on their E-bill website - you'll see that a big selling point for billers is that they just use the data from the billing run to do all this. I've not looked so closely at the MSFDC model yet - it does sound as if more is being done on the biller's site. I haven't heard of MS having a product here, the company that does (and appears to have a very strong position) is Just In Time Systems (http://www.justintime.com). Intuit and CF both work with this company.
