HERNDON, VA — OCTOBER 28, 2009 — Boxwood Technology, Inc. (www.boxwoodtech.com), the foremost provider of online career center technologies to associations, announced today the availability of foreign currencies on its ecommerce platform. In a move to address the growing need for greater internationalization of website content and formatting, Boxwood now has the ability to develop and deploy online career centers that transact in many non-U.S. currencies. This new enhancement will allow Boxwood’s association clients to provide less US-centric career centers to their international members and affiliates.
"Having the ability to process foreign currencies is key to our international expansion," says Craig Martin, Director, Treasury Practice Lead at the Association for Financial Professionals. "With our recent decision to network AFP Online with gtnews and our global affiliates, we knew that localization of the job board would be critical to AFP's mission to be the global resource and advocate for the finance profession. Boxwood has always demonstrated its commitment to making AFP and other associations successful in the job board business, and we are excited about the new opportunities this advancement will open up for us."
Transacting in foreign currencies has historically been a challenge for many U.S.-based associations. Boxwood’s recent advancements in this area have removed a significant obstacle for organizations seeking to grow beyond the U.S. and engage people from all over the world in an increasingly global marketplace.
