ASI has several volunteer advisory boards for its products and services.

"The ASItransact advisory board has already been instrumental in making strategic decisions, like changing our pricing model to unlimited usage for only $299," Dale Denham, senior VP of ASI, said in a statement. "They've also guided our direction in making our software standards available to the industry at no charge, even to competitors. I'm especially excited about the knowledge of these board members and what insights they can share to continue increasing adoption of ASItransact."
