Atlas also provides a SaaS-based Supplier Portal that synchronizes the network’s product catalogs and handles the electronic invoice exchange and settlement between members of the networks. Atlas is headed by managing director Allan Gray. He held that position from January 1991 through December 1997 and then  returned in January 2001. These deals are presumably being driven by the investment from Accel-KKR, which purchased a majority interest in Accellos last year.
