ExpenseWire®, a leading on-demand expense management software company, today announced that for the third time in a row it was chosen as a finalist for the prestigious CODiE awards. This year, ExpenseWire was selected as a finalist in two categories: “Best Software as a Service Solution” and “Best Financial Software Solution”. ExpenseWire helps small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) control discretionary spending while giving employees the convenience of preparing and submitting expense reports online via an easy-to-use, secure application. It streamlines the time-consuming process of submitting and reviewing expense reports and speeds up reimbursements, which also reduces costs for businesses.

Established in 1986, the CODiE Awards celebrate outstanding achievement and vision in the software, digital information and education technology industries. Nearly 190 judges encompassing tech trade journalists, consultants, educators, IT and product specialists, and other knowledgeable experts reviewed all of the products entered to select the 345 finalists.

"The competition is particularly steep during this year’s 24th Annual SIIA CODiE Awards, making selection as a CODiE Finalist a real achievement," said SIIA president Ken Wasch. "All the companies on this year's list of CODiE Finalists should feel justifiably proud of their accomplishment in making it to this stage, and have much excitement to look forward to regarding the upcoming CODiE Awards voting!"

“Every decision about our solution is made with our end-users in mind. We’re constantly evaluating what we can do to make an application individuals want to use. Once again that has paid off,” said Andrew Vaeth, CEO of ExpenseWire. “In an economy such as this one, it is even more important to control expenses and to make your savings mandate a personal responsibility. It’s really a win-win for all involved. The company can control spend while employees experience huge productivity gains."

Customers have flocked to ExpenseWire in such great numbers that the company doubled its user-base in 2008. The company has also experienced expansive distribution channel momentum. In 2008 alone, it announced strategic alliances with Paychex, Orbitz for Business and TRX.
