CapitalStream | Press Releases

CapitalStream™, a pioneer in front office automation solutions for commercial and equipment finance operations, today reaffirmed its commitment to continue supporting International Decision Systems� (IDS) customers and to enhancing integration between InfoLease from IDS and FinanceCenter from CapitalStream. CapitalStream recognizes the recent announcement of the imminent acquisition of IDS by Schroder Ventures (through its wholly owned entity Twins Acquisition Inc.) as a significant step toward stabilizing the future for IDS, its customers and the equipment leasing industry overall. Through appropriate partnerships and other acquisition opportunities, CapitalStream will continue to expand its integrated front office platform offered to IDS users along with other equipment finance, commercial lending and small business credit providers.

"CapitalStream and IDS have many joint customers across the equipment leasing industry, and we recognize the acquisition of IDS as an important opportunity to resolve the recent uncertainty surrounding IDS and foster an environment for industry growth and stability," said Kevin Riegelsberger, CapitalStream�s president and CEO. "We offer congratulations and believe everyone benefits from this transaction, which will provide IDS with improved financial strength and an ongoing ability to provide the equipment leasing industry with a proven and effective accounting and servicing solution."

CapitalStream�s own expansion plans continue to move ahead based on a partnering and acquisition strategy that builds upon on its existing alliances. The company has significant investor partnerships in place with FTVentures, Banc of America, Polaris Venture Partners, Mobius Venture Capital, Voyager Capital, and The Benaroya Company. CapitalStream continues to evaluate acquisition opportunities focusing on technology and software providers that enhance and further broaden CapitalStream�s product offering to its target market - the small business, equipment and commercial finance operations of financial institutions and other finance providers.
