FORT LEE, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 13, 2003-- Datatech and Partner AXS-One Offer a Centralized Solution to Manage Billing and Core Account Services for the Southeast's Largest Independent Advertising Agency Datatech Software, a leading business solutions provider to the advertising industry, announced today the company has been selected by WestWayne, Inc., the Southeast's largest independent advertising agency, to streamline and automate the firm's financial management and advertising services operations. WestWayne selected solutions from Datatech and its strategic partner AXS-One in the third quarter of 2003, and implementation is currently underway. With a large workforce and constantly expanding client roster, WestWayne recently decided to replace its incumbent business solutions package in favor of a system that was up to the demanding needs of its clients and staff. After a competitive search, WestWayne selected the joint offering provided by Datatech Software and AXS-One based on the combined solution's deep domain expertise, quick implementation time and ease-of use traits. Under the agreement, WestWayne will use Datatech's ADvance software suite to manage core advertising functions and AXS-One's financial management and services automation solutions to manage financial operations. Specifically, WestWayne will use AXS-Ones' General Ledger (GL), Accounts Payable (AP), AXS Desk and AXS Excel modules to manage back-office accounting and time and expense reporting processes.
