Press Release
August 9, 2001
MIAMI, FL -- Systems Products International Inc. (SPI), the innovator of software for vacation ownership developers
and resort management companies, has acquired RESORT.IQ, the most technologically advanced software in the industry.
The company recently developed its own windows-based technology, but realized the enormous potential to enhance
their software by acquiring the rights to RESORT.IQ software. SPI is investing tremendous resources into developing
the integration of the best of both software systems, including hiring the author and designer of RESORT.IQ, Michael
J. Rahn, as its new vice president of marketing. Rahn and a team of experts spent many years researching the
problems associated with vacation ownership/resort management software systems in order to capitalize on a fully
adaptable system specifically designed for an individual company's needs.
"The system's capabilities provide the tools to maximize operational efficiencies. We at SPI will ensure
our clients receive the greatest return on their investment and through the system's tracking ability, we prove
it," said Rahn. SPI's software allows management the flexibility in designing their own system directing
employees in a comprehensive manner towards the company's specific goals. It is the only known software system
that links all aspects of resort management, allowing each phase (marketing, sales, reservations and finance) to
interact with each other and properly evaluate the overall progress.
An institution in software for vacation ownership/resort management, SPI was founded over 25 years ago in Miami,
Florida to address the specific needs of the burgeoning timeshare industry. Legendary industry leader and founder
of SPI, Karl C. Lange is dedicated to ensuring long-term relationships with his company's clients and believes
in the "high tech- high touch" philosophy from the book Megatrends.
"Once a developer invests in our information system, he can feel assured that SPI will stick by him and its
products for many years to come. SPI is committed to hands on support for its clients," said Lange.
SPI's software was designed from the ground up to encompass all of the critical applications required in the daily
operation of a resort. This powerful suite of software products, engineered to migrate as a resort's requirements
change, is cost effective, easy to learn and allows the end user to efficiently manage their business. However,
the most important and critical issue is the fact that the marketing campaigns can be changed easily in real time
to address the ever-changing business processes of the vacation ownership/resort industry. SPI's software can
function as a comprehensive system and its analytical package can be run "on top" of any existing system
to provide analysis never before available.
