Cost-effective ERM without Expensive ERP Software

June 11, 2002 – Costa Mesa, CA – Touchtone Corporation, developer of Wintouch eCRM software for the IBM iSeries (AS/400) operating system, announced the Wintouch ERM (Enterprise Resource Management) solution, a cost-effective alternative to expensive ERP programs.

Managing enterprise resources has never been easier. Wintouch is accessible by any Java-enabled browser and can be fully customized and integrated within two to eight weeks. Wintouch utilizes a native DB2/400 database to provide quick, easy and seamless back-end enterprise and ERP integration. Web-based implementation eliminates client installation, saving time and cutting costs on upgrades. Powerful search capabilities allow virtually any combination of data fields to be selected for onetime or periodic Boolean searches.

Integrated mail and email expedite single or merge group template communications, automatically logging client contact and scheduling follow-up activities. Integrated 5250 terminal emulation provides quick access to enterprise "green screen" applications from Wintouch – in the office or in the field.

Wintouch also features flexible GUI customization enabling the enterprise, departments or end users to simply "drag and drop" fields for additional customization. Flexible design allows front-end database fields to be determined, grouped, organized, presented and named to meet the unique needs of each enterprise. Language localization is a simple "table entry" process, not a programming process. Scalability enables virtually limitless customer and contact records, or database fields.

Wintouch is secure – all database information resides on the enterprise server with ID and password transmission encrypted and required for access. No database records reside on desktop or laptop units preventing unauthorized electronic copying of valuable customer data. Wintouch offers the unique ability to quickly link one "contact" to many "accounts" (i.e. a consultant) without entering the contact information separately for each account. This same feature also enables an activity or sequence of activities to be scheduled for many account contacts from one entry.
