Barron's article on FDC mentions CKFR... Just read a three page article on FDC in this weeks Barrons. They seem to omit everything including the facts. CKFR is mentioned in about three sentences as being their biggest competitor. In addition the reporter notes that "according to some accounts CKFR has more billers than Transpoint". What kind of yellow journalism is this? How about some facts: TP has x number of billers and CKFR has Y number of billers. The facts are that CKFR has far more billers than TP. CKFR has a functioning product. CKFR has far more banking relationships than TP. The fact that Wells Fargo sent TP back to the drawing board is not mentioned. OF course you all know this. Conclusion: For what ever reason there is anti CKFR sentiment out there in the press and among several brokerages. False steps and failures of this company will be put under a magnifying glass while accomplishments will be glossed over. Solution: Flawless execution. Ramp up Billers as quickly as possible accompany all with major press releases. Focus on the Portals and major billers, mend the fence with INTU. Get your message out in the mainstream press, the facts must be known. FDC is losing, MSFT is losing, TP is losing. They know they are losing. Wounded animals are often the most dangerous, their disinformation campaign is designed to sway billers into their camp. CKFR must get their message out. The next two years are critical. Crush FDC, Crush TP. Execution and communication are the weapons of choice in this battle. The gloves must come off. K9
