Qualtech Diagnostic Software now available with no upfront capital expense

Bring all your Field Service Engineers up to the same high standard of performance by equipping them with situation-specific, dynamic, and optimized troubleshooting and repair procedures.

Wethersfield, Connecticut. November 10, 2004 - Service and maintenance organizations seeking to improve their field service operations can give their field technicians the most complete diagnostic software tool kit on the market - without a significant upfront expense or making a long-term commitment - under a new pricing structure announced by Qualtech Systems, Inc. (www.teamqsi.com)

Qualtech Systems has established a limited time software license subscription plan called ‘Espresso’, that provides all the modeling, stand-alone, and server-based Testability Engineering And Maintenance System (TEAMS ®) software a field service organization needs. Because there is no up-front capital investment, this plan lets new subscribers start slow, evaluate the solution, experience the benefits, and then ramp-up to deployment, on their terms.

TEAMS ® is the only full range, end-to-end diagnostic and health management tool kit available that provides field service engineers (FSE’s) with the highest level of intelligence necessary to tackle any maintenance issue from troubleshooting ; to precise instructions FSE’s need to repair the equipment. The TEAMS ® modeling software creates a deep knowledge base of how systems fail, then the intelligent reasoning software, TEAMATE ®, uses the model to dynamically generate an optimized maintenance procedure to quickly get mission critical equipment working again. TEAMATE ® runs on standalone PCs while TEAMS-RDS ® runs over your company networks or the Internet providing remote monitoring, diagnostics, intelligent troubleshooting, and system health management to thin/web-client users . The TEAMS-RDS ® application incorporates autonomous diagnostic reasoning (TEAMS-RT ®), intelligent troubleshooting (TEAMATE ®), and knowledge base management, logging, and plots/reports (TEAMS-KB ®) – TEAMS-RDS ® provides an advanced “Telemaintenance” capability.

Subscription price is determined by the actual number of FSE authorized by a new subscriber to use the software. Subscriptions are available in 100 and 1000 packs with the following list price:

100 Pack = $150/month/FSE

1000 Pack = $120/month/FSE

Customers who sign up for this subscription plan by January 31, 2005 can take advantage of an even more attractive introductory price plan:

100 Pack = $90/month/FSE

1000 Pack$ = $60/month/FSE

The Espresso Plan provides a TEAMATE ® license for each FSE, one TEAMS-RDS ® single CPU server license per 100 FSEs, and one TEAMS ® license per 100 FSEs. Level 2 support is included in the pricing to cover upgrades and technical support – there are no additional fees. (Subscription fees are payable quarterly. Prices are adjusted each quarter based on the number of people in a company authorized to use the software (minimum is 100) during the last quarter.

The no risk initial commitment is 90 days. Thereafter, a 30-day cancellation notice is required.
