PC Consulting Launches Application Service Provider (ASP) Alternative

Press Release
January 15, 2001
KAYSVILLE, UT -- PC Consulting (PCC), the developers of TimeShareWare software solutions for the vacation ownership industry, is now offering its TimeShareWare Software Suite as an Application Service Provider (ASP) to any resort in the world.

As an ASP, PCC is providing its TimeShareWare software to clients via the Internet for a low, per-user monthly fee. All costs for this service - hardware, software, application management, support, data hosting, version upgrades and technical support - are included.

In anticipation of this announcement, PCC has made a substantial investment to build a highly secure, reliable, state-of-the-art data center in its corporate office. In addition, all client data is replicated real-time to a remote location to minimize the possibility of loss due to an unforeseen accident or act of nature. ASP clients can always be assured that their data is safe and secure.

Most vacation ownership resorts could benefit immediately from subscribing to PCC's ASP service. Benefits that ASP clients can expect include:

• much lower operational costs because they do not need to hire, train, and re-train in-house staff to manage TimeShareWare.
• a much quicker implementation of TimeShareWare because they do not need to worry about complex hardware and networking solutions.
• spending more time focusing on the timeshare business as opposed to concentrating on building adequate technological infrastructure to manage information systems.
• always being current on technology since they are automatically updated to the latest hardware technology and the latest versions of TimeShareWare.
• a fixed, per-user monthly fee that that can be easily budgeted for throughout the year.
• database backups and maintenance being handled by PCC resulting in a significant annual savings on resource costs and IT personnel.

Timo Jones, President of PCC, agreed that using PCC as an ASP could significantly cut costs for our clients. "The ASP service can provide large and small companies a considerable savings versus developing and maintaining their own IT infrastructure. Now those IT tasks will be our responsibility. Another big benefit for smaller properties is they can now access our high-end software at a very affordable price."
