"As an IT consultant for the National Institutes of Health, my task was to implement a checkwriting system for the NIH Center for Scientific Review that was fast, flexible and user friendly. The system also required a substantial amount of customization to work with the NIH legacy software. CheckWorks from Prelude Software Inc. was selected and has greatly improved our payment functions. The Prelude staff truly understands customer service and their commitment to excellence is the basis for their success."

"Grain Dealers Mutual Insurance Company is a P&C company located in Indianapolis. The company provides commercial, personal, and agricultural specialty lines in 33 states. The CheckWorks package is used to print and administer our accounts payable and claims checks. The Home Office and two branch offices' check printing is done using our existing WAN HP laser printers, installing MICR cartridges as needed to print the check documents. The two branch office claim areas are accessing the CheckWorks system using a Metaframe server.

The key points that sold GDM on CheckWorks are:

No documentation manual. You do not need one. The on-line help and support desk will walk you through any problem.
No bugs. In the eighteen months we have used the package, we have not found a single base system problem.
The best service. Prelude provides the best service of the ten application software providers used by our Accounting Department.
Price
It's simple, it's cheap, and it works very well. Call me, I will be happy to talk with you."

"Holyoke Mutual has been working with PSI for over 10 years. The CheckWorks system was originally created to solve our MICR check printing requirements. The system designed by Prelude streamlined our accounting process. The functionality is exceptional. We are able to issue seven check types, drawn on multiple bank accounts. Using CheckWorks, we interface our checks issued file electronically with our bank. This allows us to use the positive pay function with our bank, which in turn provides additional security in the cash management process. It also provides productivity gains as it makes the cash reconciliation procedure that much easier. Their service and support is outstanding and we have always been pleased by their prompt response to questions and concerns that arise."
