-- Siemens Global Shared Services North America Renews Contract with Direct Insite Corp. for Supplier E-Invoicing Services --

SUNRISE, Fla., April 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Direct Insite (OTC BB: DIRI.OB), a leading provider of cloud-based e-invoicing solutions for accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payments automation, today announced that Siemens Global Shared Services North America (GSS NA) has signed a three-year contract renewing its use of Direct Insite's Invoices On-Line (IOL) supplier e-invoicing portal.  More than 50 business units of Siemens Corporation currently use Direct Insite's Invoices On-Line portal to electronically receive over 2 million invoices per year from nearly 100,000 suppliers worldwide. 

Receiving and posting supplier invoices electronically using the cloud-based Invoices On-Line portal has enabled GSS NA to significantly reduce its average invoice processing costs and supplier inquiries while accelerating invoice processing turnaround.  GSS NA receives the majority of its supplier invoices electronically, utilizing Webform entry, "flipping" purchase orders into invoices, uploading invoice data from within a spreadsheet or electronic invoices directly from the Suppliers' billing system through the industry standard EDI or XML formats and posts them without operator intervention ("touch-less") through the Invoices On-Line.

"Invoices On-Line has proven to be an effective tool in the transformation of our Accounts Payable automation initiatives with a goal of reducing paper handling, invoicing costs and supplier inquiries," stated Roderick Fields, GSS NA Director of Disbursement Services. "At Siemens we look to always incorporate efficient tools and methods into our processes and stay ahead of the curve.  Direct Insite Corp. has proven to be a great partner in that pursuit."

"Siemens is not only the leader in the various industries it serves, it's also a leading innovator in supplier invoicing.  Through its use of the Invoices On-Line portal, Siemens has achieved significant cost savings, improved invoice processing turnaround and quality, and transformed supplier invoicing into a strategic, value-added function," said Direct Insite President and CEO Matthew Oakes.  "Direct Insite looks forward to working with Siemens in the years ahead and continuing to build on these exceptional results."
