SUGAR LAND, Texas, Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- US Dataworks, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: UDWK), a leader in payment processing solutions, today announced that more than $120 billion dollars in payments were processed through a cloud deployment of the Clearingworks® payment processing platform. This defining statistic puts Clearingworks in the forefront of cloud payment processors in terms of dollars processed, as well as the variety of payments processed. The Clearingworks payments platform processes all checks, electronic checks, Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments and credit/debit cards.
Chuck Ramey, CEO of US Dataworks stated, "As part of our white-glove service, we regularly monitor key volumes and trends in our cloud solution. In December, we saw our volumes for the calendar year climb over 145 million payments totaling more than$120 billion. Now we have clear evidence that our strategy to move Clearingworks to a cloud delivery model is being accepted in the marketplace."
At a time when start-up payment platforms are touting payment processing dollar volumes in the millions, Clearingworks' hundred billion dollar statistic is a remarkable milestone. It is particularly striking that these volumes come from businesses processing a few thousand payments each month all the way to businesses processing millions of payments each month. The Clearingworks payment platform, combined with the newly released apps, makes Clearingworks the right solution for all businesses, utilities, financial institutions and government agencies.
Wade Shaw, Vice President and Product Manager for Clearingworks added, "We are able to use ClearInsights,™ our business intelligence pillar of Clearingworks, to easily monitor key statistics, volumes and trends. This is how we are able to report 2011 volumes immediately following year-end. ClearInsights provides real-time and historical information in a graphically rich presentation, including charts, graphs, dashboards and alerts. Our clients rely on ClearInsights for actionable payment information, business intelligence and predictive analysis."
Cloud services was cited again by Gartner Group as one of 2012 Information Technology Predictions and Trends. Gartner predicts that by 2015 low-cost cloud services will replace 15 percent of the projected $1 trillion IT services market. Clearingworks' early success in moving traditional payment processing to the cloud is a prime example of this transition.
Clearingworks is offered in a cloud-delivery model, as well as a traditional on-premise solution. A key benefit of Clearingworks is the ease and cost-efficiency in processing all types of payments on a single, enterprise-class platform. In today's world, customers expect greater degrees of integration, as well as real time posting to accounts.
