DALLAS, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Mark Fairchild, senior vice president and chief technology officer for BancTec, a global provider of advanced, high volume document and payment processing solutions, will deliver the keynote address to the Payments Capture and Clearing Council, which will be held November 7-8, 2007, at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club in St. Petersburg, Florida.

The Council meeting, which will be co-located with TAWPI's 2007 Payments Automation Conference, will also feature a "State of the Lockbox Market" panel discussion that includes Michael Lindsey, BancTec's director of opportunity development for the Americas. On November 8th and 9th, BancTec will have an exhibit at the Payments Automation Conference which will feature various BancTec solutions available for remittance processing, accounts payable automation, mailroom automation, business process management and remote capture.

Mr. Fairchild's discussion during the Payments Capture and Clearing Council meeting will explore the opportunities and challenges related to the convergence of document processing and payments automation. Participants will learn how organizations must develop a new vision for capturing, processing, managing, archiving and delivering mission-critical information. Specifically, Mr. Fairchild will talk about the increasing diversity of the payments mix; extending the boundaries of processing environments; integrating and collaborating among traditional organizational silos; and positioning organizations to compete.

"BancTec has a long history of helping companies turn what many consider a low value, backroom process into a strategic solution that helps them save time and money, while expanding the services they provide to customers," said Fairchild.
