RedTail Solutions Announces the Availability of Its Integrated EDI Service for AccountMate Software

Expands Interconnectivity With Leading Small-to-Midsize Accounting Solutions

WESTBOROUGH, Mass., Nov. 1, 2004 — RedTail Solutions, Inc., the leading provider of integrated outsourced Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) services for small to midsize suppliers, today announced the availability of its market-leading outsourced EDI service for AccountMate Software’s business accounting solution.

AccountMate offers modifiable source code accounting software for small and mid-sized businesses. RedTail’s service-based solution enables suppliers to meet the requirements for electronic trading required by large enterprises in the retail, automotive and distribution segments without having to make their own investment in infrastructure or specialized expertise.

RedTail Solutions has recently begun supplying this integrated EDI service with AccountMate to a number of new AccountMate customers, including a bedding manufacturer, a manufacturer of insect and rodent control products and a number of other manufacturing and distribution companies. According to Bill Martin, operations manager of Westminster, Inc. an Atlanta-area importer and distributor of games, toys and novelties for small to large retailers, “The RedTail EDI service was a quantum leap forward for us. Not only did we remove the burden and expense of owning and managing our day-to-day EDI activities with our customers, but because of the RedTail AccountMate integration, we eliminated any chance for data entry errors of EDI transactions into our AccountMate system.”

RedTail CEO Patricia Meisner said, “As large enterprises continue to make greater and greater demands for electronic trading of their suppliers, we are pleased to add AccountMate to the list of small to middle-market accounting systems with integration to RedTail’s EDI and related services.”

David Dierke, president and CEO of AccountMate, added “We are excited to include RedTail among our Vertical Solutions Partners. For EDI users, RedTail’s integration with AccountMate dramatically improves productivity. In combination with its outsourcing services, RedTail gives AccountMate users an affordable and cost-effective way to do EDI.”

RedTail developed its newest service interface to AccountMate in conjunction with New Jersey-based Figtree Consulting, Inc., an AccountMate reseller and developer that will continue to maintain and enhance it. According to Steve Rosenstein, founder and co-owner of Figtree Consulting, “Until now AccountMate users have had only one or two marginal solutions to comply with their key customers’ requirements for electronic trading. Now they have state-of-the-art capabilities through the RedTail service and systems as well as seamless integration with their AccountMate system.”

Fueled by a market need for outsourced EDI services integrated into back office accounting/business solutions, RedTail has experienced an expansion in business up to 150 percent from the previous year.

RedTail continues to grow its broad customer base through aggressive programs initiated through close partnerships with a number of leading accounting and business system providers and their reseller networks. RedTail is a current development partner with AccountMate, Best Software (ACCPAC, MAS90/200, and BusinessVision), Microsoft/Great Plains, and others.
