Visibility’s legal e-billing software has carved a strong niche in the US insurance sector.
Following the merger Bottomline will have 60,000 combined users worldwide. Chicago-based Visibility brings on board customers like CNA Insurance.
Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Bottomline’s Web-based software lets businesses make and collect payments, send and receive invoices and conduct online banking.
