Honor Announced at Collection Advisor TECH ‘06 in Las Vegas, Dec. 7, 2006

Las Vegas, Nev., December 27, 2006
Collection Advisor magazine announced its selection of the Top 100 Collection Technology Products for 2006. The announcement was made by Harry A. Strausser III, president of Remit Corporation in Bloomsburg, Pa., former chair of the ACA and emcee of the CAT Expo.

This is the second year the magazine bestowed an honor of this kind on products and services in the collection industry, and was a highlight of TECH ‘06, an educational forum for the collection profession sponsored by the magazine.

“All of the companies honored as part of the Top 100 Collection Technology Products represent not only market leaders, but smaller, niche companies who present true innovation and insight within the industry,” says Editor/Publisher T. Allen Rose. “On behalf of the magazine, we are very pleased to bestow this honor on these very worthy companies.”

The Top 100 were selected through 13 categories by the magazine’s editors based on reviews conducted over the past year, as well as reader response and feedback. The comprehensive list will be featured in the magazine’s January/February 2007 issue, along with a companion story honoring the Top 50 Most Influential Collection Professionals for 2006.
