IConnect And Event 1 Partner To Provide Low-Cost Business Solutions For Home Builders

Vancouver, WA, August 29, 2008 … iConnect and Event 1 Software, Inc. have partnered
to provide home builders with an integrated data management system that will
collaborate with the industry’s most popular financial reporting software.
The partnership will allow users to pull existing information from Sage Timberline
Office, use it with Builder’s CoPilot and vice versa. Builder’s CoPilot is a cutting-edge
customer relationship management (CRM) software program for home builders created
by iConnect.
Builder’s CoPilot and Event 1 Software have created a co-marketing relationship where
each company retains its identity but also promotes the other in order to benefit
customers.
“This partnership will provide home builders with a low-cost and integrated software
solution that will allow them to streamline their business process,” said Amitesh Sinha,
President and CIO of iConnect. “We were able to build a bridge between different
technologies without requiring our customers to purchase a third-party tool.”
“Our partnership allows our customers to take advantage of today’s best technology
without trying to reinvent the wheel,” said James Coyle, president of Event 1 Software.
“We recognized the strengths in each of our products and realized our customers would
be much better off if we worked together.”
Builder’s CoPilot is CRM software for home builders that integrates information about
sales, construction, scheduling, service and warranty, accounting, and other key
components of the construction process into one database.
Event 1 Software’s Office Connector product leverages Event 1 Software’s core
competency: Excel integration. Office Connector is designed to exchange information
and create reports from data contained in Sage Timberline Office – a cost accounting
system that is popular in the home building industry.
