Clarity Advantage’s Nick Miller Announces Barlow Research 2013 Monarch Innovation Awards

CONCORD, Mass. - May 29, 2013 - PRLog -- Business banking expert and president of Clarity Advantage Nick Miller was selected by Barlow Research as one of four judges for its 2013 Monarch Innovation Awards. In its sixth year, the Monarch Innovation Awards honored business-to-business innovation in the financial services industry in five categories: Innovative Industry Partner, Innovative Product, Innovative Feature, Honorable Mentions, and Overall Most Innovative.  This is Miller’s third consecutive year serving as a judge.

Miller, with Monarch judge Bill Hippensteel from BAI, participated in Barlow’s Annual Client Conference on May 7 and 8, 2013 in Chicago, Ill., where the winners were formally recognized.  Other judges were John O’Connor from Praxis and Rob Berini from Deloitte Consulting LLP.

“John Barlow and his team do a tremendous service for the industry by showcasing innovation,” said Miller. “We see a clear trend toward payment management products that are more integrated, more interactive, and more convenient than they were a year ago. We also see a clear trend that innovation is being led by the largest banks that have significant resources to deploy in R&D and by small to large firms outside the banking industry, many supported by the large flows of venture capital and private equity money into the payment space.”

The judges chose Mitek Systems mobile deposit product as the Overall Most Innovative entry. See full information about categories and winners at http://www.monarchinnovationawards.com/awards/
