Mr. Evancoe said Mellon Bank's use of MSFDC's bill presentment system "is going to put a little pressure on Integrion" to develop a system that will allow bills presented through one service to be paid through another. "We need someone like Integrion to work with Checkfree, MSFDC, and Princeton Telecom Corp.," he said, referring to three high-profile bill presentment providers. "It can't be a Checkfree-only business." Competition is good. It keeps things vital. Change is good too. Maybe change a few of the members around a little too. "The MSFDC platform seems more mature and it offered us the easiest way to get involved in bill presentment in the short term," said Dave Spier, manager of Internet and PC banking at Mellon Bank. Mellon has no plans to use Checkfree Corp.'s bill presentment service, which is being promoted by Integrion, Mr. Spier said. But it said it would soon test Integrion for home banking transactions. Ahhhhh, a Crafty disguise? Integrion chief executive officer William M. Fenimore said, "We haven't done a good job in terms of telling Mellon Bank what we have to offer." He said Banc One's expected rollout of Checkfree's bill presentment system "goes far beyond a pilot of employees." Time to sit back and watch the fireworks....soooon

How can he say that? MSFDC just started it's first pilot a week ago, how could anyone use the word 'mature' to describe MSFDC? (stupid statements like these are why I do not like Mellon). Integrion chief executive officer William M. Fenimore said, "We haven't done a good job in terms of telling Mellon Bank what we have to offer." He said Banc One's expected rollout of Checkfree's bill presentment system "goes far beyond a pilot of employees." ...It's not much, but at least the integrion management is talking back (a little).

"It can't be a Checkfree-only business." Well that integration of service providers needs to take place somewhere, probably best to let Integrion do it. Makes sense, rather than each of 12,000 Banks doing it in their own way, and coming up with several hundred ways of doing it. Do it once and let everybody plug into to it....makes sense if you think about it. That guy knows it will be a problem down the road, and that would be a good role for Integrion to act in. Who's the processor for Integrion for the next 10 years?
