Bill.com Wins 2013 Cloud Award
Recognized in Best Software as a Service Category

PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/16/13 -- Bill.com, the leader in integrated bill payment, invoicing, and cash management solutions for businesses, today announced it has been named a winner in the Best Software as a Service category of the 2012-2013 Cloud Awards Program.

The cloud computing awards program accepts entries from organizations of any size -- from enterprises to start-ups -- in the US and internationally, with an aim to celebrate excellence in the field of cloud computing.

"Bill.com has used the cloud to transform the finance industry, finally freeing finance professionals from the old manual, error-prone ways of managing cash flow and moving funds," said René Lacerte, founder and CEO, Bill.com. "This award is especially gratifying to us because it recognizes Bill.com for being a leader in the software as a service ecosystem and for what we have been focused on from day one: harnessing the power of the cloud to make people's lives better."

Cloud Awards organizer Larry Johnson said: "Compiling the shortlist was difficult. But trying to pick individual winners in any category was almost impossible.

"We are extremely pleased to endorse Bill.com as a cloud services provider which solves real-world problems for its clients, knocking down the barriers inherent in older business models and showing them to be outmoded -- truly leveraging cloud technologies to be the best of the best."

The Cloud Awards (http://www.cloud-awards.com/) will return in 2013-14 for a fresh program seeking excellence in the field of cloud computing.

Nearly 200 organizations entered, with entries coming from across the globe and including Europe, the US and Middle East.
