Runner Technologies and AscendoSoft Partner to Expand Address Cleansing Into the Credit Union and Banking Marketplace

Redmond, WA, January 06, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Runner Technologies, a leading provider of Address Verification and Cleansing software for Higher Education, and AscendoSoft Inc., a software and services Value-Added Reseller with extensive Credit Union experience, today announced a strategic partnership to extend Runner’s CLEAN_Address product suite into the Credit Union and Community Bank markets.

“We are very committed to expanding our presence outside of higher education” said Kevin Runner, President and CEO of Runner Technologies. “While we have customers outside of higher education, we see AscendoSoft a key driver of new business in various different vertical markets. We are counting on their ability to position the technology and add business value to their business partners.”

With the Postal Service increasing demands on bulk mailers and the increasing expense of handling incorrectly addressed mail; tightly-budgeted companies are looking at affordable options to manage their Address Verification and Cleansing. Runner Technologies’ subscription-based offering ensures that customers can improve their bottom-line without a large up-front investment.

“Runner has a strong Address Verification and Cleansing product and we are familiar with their widely used solution in the Higher Education market.” said AscendoSoft co-founder Brian Miller. “Our goal is to position CLEAN_Address as a strong cost saving solution for companies who use bulk mailing as an integral part of their business. We will initially be marketing to Credit Unions and Community Banks, before expanding into various vertical markets such as Retail, Utilities, and Healthcare, to name a few. We will be looking to integrate CLEAN_Address with the key applications within these customer bases.”
