A Message from Don Romeka
CEO
2004
was a great year for IntelEvent in terms of
new customers and product development and we are excited about
the prospects of 2005.
In the
past six months we have made some very significant
enhancements to our software and there will be no slowing down
with quite a few more coming this year. We will continue to
make sure IntelEvent remains on the leading edge of
development in regards to Event Management Software.
IntelEvent is fast approaching 1,000 customers, and has a
strong recurring revenue base. Most importantly we
only sell to event focused companies like your
company.
IntelEvent prides itself by setting
very clear expectations on what the software can and CAN’T do.
This is a long
term relationship business, if it starts out with poor
expectations it is destined to fail. We are only as good as
our customers using the software. Hence, we sell the
truth!
IntelEvent is extremely focused on the
development of its partnerships. We continue to
re-invest in the advancement of your technology. Our primary focus is
based on the feedback from our Event customers. In addition, we
continue to grow within the market through trade show
marketing, industry seminars, and our continued involvement
with numerous event associations. Again, our focus here
is to maximize our benefit to you and your
marketplace.
Our motto
is TRUST, UNDERSTANDING, and TECHNOLOGY. It starts with your
relationship with your sales representative, then to your
IntelEvent trainer, then to your IntelEvent technical support
person, then to your IntelEvent product development person,
and last but not least your relationship with me at
IntelEvent.
Sincerely,
Donald P Romeka
CEO

Sales update from Andrew Ehler, Sales
Manager
Team IntelEvent has had another
extremely successful year! IntelEvent’s sales team
increased the company’s total sales by over 25% in 2004.
This
success is a testament to the dedicated
“customer-focused” team at IntelEvent and most
importantly the current partners of IntelEvent whose
excitement for the product has led to an abundance
of customer referrals. The
year 2004 brought on two new members to the sales
team. Kelvin
Smith and Greg Hixenbaugh are two
proud members of the IntelEvent Family!
Kelvin and Greg bring their extensive software
knowledge and high level of enthusiasm to our staff.
The sales team is focused on growing new partners
that will maximize their revenue and increase their
productivity using Express software. The focus this
year is to again increase our sales revenues by a
minimum of 25%, and continue the success of 2004.
Customer Referral
Program
We
would like to thank all of our customers that have
participated in IntelEvent’s Customer Referral Program
(CRP). Our
customers earn $250 for each referral that leads to a
new customer. This money can be applied against any
IntelEvent product or service/support invoice. If you
know of another company that could benefit from using
our Express software, let us know and it could earn you
$250 for every referral you provide. This is a great way
to reduce your costs and contribute to the ever growing
network of IntelEvent
customers.

Development update from Norm Sutch, VP of Product
Development
Our IntelEvent software has seen
huge improvements during the past year. We have made
over 400 individual modifications during that period of
time! Our
ability to advance the software so rapidly to meet the
needs of our customers shows the skill and dedication of
our development and support team. What sets us
apart from our competitors is our willingness to listen
to the customer, and ability to follow through on their
great ideas.
Some specific areas that have
been improved in our software over the last year
include:
- Enhanced Multisession
functionality - including ability to copy
line items between Sessions. This allows
IntelEvent users to create intricate, professional
quotes in a fraction of the normal time and still have
all the inventory control issues on the back end
covered.
- Improved Multilocation
functionality - including improvements to the
inventory transfer module as well as extension of
Multilocation capability to our Daybook and Management
Information modules.
- Core Functionality
– we are always improving the core of our
IntelEvent software whenever possible. Some of the
recent highlights include new options on how to
reallocate inventory from Jobs when new inventory is
added, or inventory is released from existing Jobs;
and we have added mouse over help messages throughout
the program as well as improved our documentation in
general.
- Expanded Reporting – including
the ability to email various reports with one click of
the mouse, a new manifest report which allows easy
inclusion and reporting of gear within a case, many
new Job and Invoice report templates to choose from,
narrative invoice functionality, and the addition of a
second separate terms and conditions area for maximum
flexibility in
presentation.
