Press Release
March 27, 2001
KAYSVILLE, UT -- PC Consulting (PCC), the leading technology solution provider to the vacation ownership industry, is pleased to announce that Escapes!, formerly known as CooperShare Resorts, has selected PCC’s TimeShareWare SAM, TimeShareWare Next, and TimeShareWare Central software solutions to manage its vacation ownership sales, owner accounts receivable, reservations, and property management for its seven mid-south resorts. Escapes! has been using TimeShareWare products since the Spring, 2000.

Escapes!, headquartered in Bella Vista, Ark., currently has close to 9,000 owners. As CooperShare Resorts, it became one of the leading and oldest independent timeshare resort development companies to offer exciting and flexible vacation ownership. The rebranding to Escapes! supports the company’s aggressive growth strategy to promote the fun and carefree vacation opportunities to which travelers can “escape.” Escapes! currently has a workforce of more than 350 employees.

Tom Reddin, Vice President and CFO of Escapes!, discussed the association with PCC during this most recent expansion. “Escapes! has experienced major growth over the past year and PCC has grown with us. We have a relationship more like a partnership, with PCC providing true solutions rather than just software. Our enhanced business procedures were largely made possible by the continued support from PCC.”

Timo Jones, President of PCC, commented on the mutually beneficial relationship between PCC and Escapes! “CooperShare Resorts, now known as Escapes!, has been a highly visible company in our industry. They have outlined a unique business approach that has proven to be very successful for them. I am pleased that our people and our products are key partners to assist them in managing their growth. We share their excitement and vision for the future.”
