ProfitCenter Software Inc. (PCS), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Systemax Inc. (NYSE: SYX), and a premier provider of web-based,
on-demand software for multichannel and direct marketing merchants,
has signed a contract for the PCS Profitability Software Suite(TM)
with Virginia Diner, a foremost provider of gourmet foods and
treats for consumers, corporate and fundraising organizations. The
PCS solution is designed to meet the information technology needs
of multi-channel marketing companies ranging from small and midsize
businesses to large enterprises. Direct Marketing companies gain
efficiencies and peace of mind with PCS because they never have to
worry about investing in additional hardware or services to
maintain their system. PCS provides the necessary servers and
manages the system, including backups, version control, and
upgrades. Companies retain total control over their customer
management, e-commerce, order processing and fulfillment functions,
including purchasing, receiving, warehousing and accounting. "One
of the many aspects we considered when we selected PCS, in addition
to the strong functionality offered, was the cost," stated Chris
Epperson, President of Virginia Diner. "Virginia Diner can focus
resources on growing our business and on our customers' needs
instead of spending valuable time battling the day's latest IT
issue. PCS will take care of our hardware and software maintenance
at a reasonable per-employee-per-month cost." "PCS is leveraging
proven expertise in working with many customers in the
multi-channel direct marketing industry," said Matthew Ehrlich,
President and CEO of ProfitCenter Software. "Addressing the unique
and common requirements of each of our clients, PCS is the first
complete SaaS (Software as a Service) solution to help these direct
marketing companies cost-effectively automate and streamline their
business processes, and ultimately stay focused on their core
business goals." "With PCS, we will regain control of our own
information without diverting attention from our business
objectives," said Epperson. "By leveraging PCS, Virginia Diner will
have a means to more profitably deliver products to our customers
without numerous IT resources. This means my staff doesn't have to
continually monitor servers, software updates and other system
functions." "Limited IT resources have forced many direct marketing
companies to rely on disconnected legacy systems, complicated
spreadsheets, and other workarounds, to manage their growing
businesses. They do not have the staffing resources to continue to
do this and effectively focus on their sales and marketing," said
Ehrlich. "PCS and its technology are designed to address these
shortcomings, providing e-commerce, CRM (customer relationship
management), order processing, fulfillment and accounting in one
fully integrated solution. Virginia Diner chose PCS as a partner to
help empty their plate of draining IT tasks and we are happy to
assist them." PCS' Profitability Software Suite(TM) is a unified
solution that enhances a direct marketing company's bottom line,
while eliminating the costs and complexities of traditional
technologies. The PCS full featured SaaS (Software as a Service) on
demand solution runs all aspects of a multi-channel direct
marketing business. Through sales, order processing, fulfillment,
accounting functionality and more, PCS empowers companies with the
