SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Avatar Partners (www.avatarpartners.com), a leader in financial supply chain systems integration, and Axway (www.axway.com), a leading provider of collaborative B2B business solutions, today announced that they will team up to offer solutions that reduce risk, create better visibility of cash positions, and automate transactions between corporate accounts and their financial services providers.
