>>Market might read it as competition....aint. From their(Just In Time)home page(click on partners): Partnerships that increase our strength. Just in Time is currently partnered with Intuit and CheckFree. With Microsoft, the three companies authored the OFX standard for bill presentment. With Intuit and AT&T, Just in Time then developed the Open Internet Billing model, creating a flexible foundation that serves the needs of both billers and consumers. In addition, Just in Time recently developed the technology for Intuit's online billing service, available through Quicken p.s. What's up with the mighty T?

Just In Time Solutions is an interesting company. They tried to recruit me last summer - at the time they were a five person company. They may still be. Anyway, I believe them to be E-Bill collaborators and not competitors. I met Mike Lanza 2 years prior when he visited CheckFree. I think JITS had probably beaten CKFR to to the E-Bill idea, but could not execute without the payment half of the equation, and without the entrenched consumer base. He had later learned of CKFR's efforts to pilot a similar product, and had gone to CKFR, MSFDC(?) and INTU in an effort to partner with either (or all) to help develop the product. CKFR and JITS does have some sort of deal, but I can't recall the structure of it. It sounds like JITS now has a "push" version of E-Bill, and wants to licence it to the E-Bill players. Mike, are you lurking? What are you guys up to? Andrew.
