Leading digital entertainment developer chooses to proactively manage chargebacks from retailers and trim revenue leakages with cash flow management platform

Santa Clara, Calif. March 30, 2005 - Emagia, the leading provider of Enterprise Cash Flow Management solutions, announced today that Vivendi Universal Games (VU Games), a global developer, publisher and distributor of multi-platform interactive entertainment, has selected Emagia Cash Inflow Manager version 5.0 to streamline receivables and revenue management across its operations.

Chargebacks and deductions stemming from short payments by retailers due to pricing, trade promotions and vendor compliance issues can amount to a significant drain in profitability and higher operational expenses for consumer products companies. Having global visibility into receivables along with specialized chargebacks management tools and processes is critical to improving financial performance for these companies.

“Emagia’s software offers VU Games the ability to proactively manage receivables and chargebacks and to recover revenues deducted from payments by the big box retailers,” said John Ewing, Director of Credit, VU Games.

“Managing revenues and working capital requires a collaborative approach between suppliers and customers,” added Veena Gundavelli, chief executive officer at Emagia. “Many consumer products companies such as Vivendi Universal Games are realizing that workflow-based process automation and business intelligence embedded in the Emagia solution can quickly help accelerate cash inflow onto the balance sheet and boost the bottom line.”
