This looks like the release that started their stock moving:

''Rather than shoe-horn financial institutions into a single strategy or solution architecture, as is the common practice among
Internet banking technology providers today, our strategy is to provide our financial institution partners with a full array of tools,
technology and support services to ensure total flexibility and freedom of choice,'' stated HFN's President and COO, Eric
Jacobsen. ''We plan to achieve this through the continued expansion of our product platform, through high-level strategic partnerships with leading processors and technology providers such as IBM, Integrion and CheckFree, and through the selective acquisition of complementary products and services to meet the needs of financial institutions that expect no less from
a full-service technology partner.''


Must say, their historical chart don't look too good:

Isn't it great to be invested in a business that everyone and his brother wants in on. The trouble with these Johnny-come-latelys is they have to break through the 18 years of experience of a Checkfree all in a matter of months - NOT. Or they have to latch on to the established and still rising star, Checkfree, to capture any business. The more the merrier. Since CKFR shuns advertising, its great to have dozens of little companies running around selling business for Checkfree.
No post office, no paper shuffling, no advertising, almost all the infrastructure paid for ... the only significant expense on the incoming business is taxes, we can live with that.
