Hostway Launches BizSupport Software Tool - Kicks Off Suite of Application Service Provider (ASP) Products

Chicago—May 23, 2000—Hostway Corporation today launched BizSupport, a client relationship management tool poised to revolutionize the way businesses communicate with customers over the web. The tool will be available both on a stand-alone basis and as a feature on select enterprise-level hosting plans.

"We are very excited to be launching our Biz Tools suite of web-based software with BizSupport. With this tool, we’ve combined the best of our software development capabilities with the solid foundation of our Web hosting network, to give customers something they can immediately start using to better manage communications with customers," says Jason Abate, Director of Research and Development.

BizSupport allows customers to categorize, route, and track customer email correspondence to ensure accurate and timely follow-through on customer requests. BizSupport also provides a friendly interface that speeds response times to emails, and prevents the bottlenecks that can arise when hundreds of customers emails are continuously routed to a particular mail address.

"With access to BizSupport, Hostway’s customers have the opportunity to take advantage of a unique tool not available from any other major Web hosting company," adds Jason Abate.
