SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CA--(Marketwire - June 3, 2010) - OptionEase, Inc., the leader in on-demand software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications for fair-market-value accounting and compliance, today announced that American CareSource Holdings, Inc., (d/b/a Ancillary Care Services) (NASDAQ: [ ANCI ]), is using OptionEase to satisfy all audit requirements regarding the FAS 123® [now ASC Topic 718] regulation. The OptionEase solution has helped Ancillary Care Services (ACS) drastically cut the time needed to analyze and report on complicated equity data.

Prior to implementing OptionEase, ACS relied upon a legacy, on-premise software application that delivered reports via Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. The Company chose OptionEase for its intuitive user interface and prompt, reliable, U.S.-based support service.

"The value is that I can solve a problem within minutes because viewing and accessing data is so much easier with OptionEase," said Matt Kelso, Financial Planning and Analysis manager of Ancillary Care Services. "The price point was also attractive."

OptionEase has more than 400 customers worldwide who rely on their application to manage complex equity administration, regulatory compliance and address audit requirements. With a 98 percent customer retention rate, OptionEase helps clients across a broad number of industries to save time and money while addressing critical requirements.

"ACS, like many other small- to mid-sized businesses, found that hosting an audit solution onsite without adequate support did not meet its compliance needs," said Eric Kupferberg, president and co-founder of OptionEase. "At the core of our company is an expert, dedicated team that enables our customers to quickly and reliably roll out our superior technology via a secure web-based application to achieve ongoing audit readiness and accounting compliance."
