art data management systems so that our clients may operate profitably, efficiently and

Internet Destination Sales System
SYSTEM UPGRADES:
Since the iDSS series is based on the ASP platform, our destination management system provides
a distinct advantage over our competitors in our ability to quickly roll out enhancements,
modifications and improvements. Clients receive upgrades and enhancements in regularly
scheduled, quarterly product updates at no charge. All iDSS clients receive this product
enhancements simultaneously.
OWNERSHIP OF DATA:
In the terms of the iDSS Purchase Agreement, all data is owned by the Client and is available to
them at any time. If at a future time, the Client chooses to change software applications, iDSS will
assist with that conversion process at iDSS' standard time and materials rate.
HOSTING & DATABASE SECURITY:
The iDSS product suite is 100% web based, therefore the only hardware required is a PC with an
internet connection, there is no software to install!
Our applications are hosted on a fully redundant infrastructure located in an off-site Data Center.
Our Data Center guarantees 99.9% uptime through 24/7/365 hardware monitoring by
certified IT Engineers. In the event of a hardware outage the Data Center will replace defective
hardware within one hour and/or transfer all necessary files to one of nine domestic or
international Data Centers as back-up.
We leverage technologies from leading industry vendors such as Cisco, Dell, Symantec, and
McAfee which allow us to maintain maximum availability for all services.
All services are monitored 24-hours a day, 7-days a week, 365 days a year by trained personnel.
Escalation procedures are in place to ensure highest availability of key personnel.
Physical access to the data center is controlled by pass-code with a secondary caged checkpoint.
iDSS uses a monitoring platform to proactively determine and prevent potential intrusion or
denial of service attacks. These methods are used in conjunction with an onsite Security Team to
provide the highest level of security for iDSS clients and customers.
iDSS uses a multi-tier back up plan to assure data integrity.
This includes full, differential and incremental backup methodology to maintain optimum state of
data.
In addition, iDSS pings our various systems at timed intervals via two separate services. If an
answer is not received, the ping is repeated in two minutes. If an answer is not received in this
instance, critical staff is alerted immediately.

• Event Calendar for any selected date pattern and year.
Y Lost business by selected time period with the reason for loss.
> Traces by sales people including details of each trace call.

assistance is available for a nominal fee.
All reports can be exported in MS Word, Excel and PDF.
PARTNER INTERFACE / EXTRA NET:
On-line Lead distribution and responses from Partners on-line!
> Bureau documents will not be accidentally filtered out by spam protection.
Bureau sales staff can generate new leads much faster than in the past from literally
anywhere they have internet access including a trade show floor or client office.
• Bureau determines which partners will receive an email prompt that they have a new lead
opportunity.
Communications between hotel and bureau sales staff remain a permanent record within the
account event file.
Tool for prompting Partners if Leads have not been responded to by Due Date.
Partners can attach their Proposals to the on-line response so the Bureau can view this and it
remains part of the permanent record, not in outlook attachments or someone's hard drive.
> The Partner Update component of this interface allows allied partners to update their
information that is ultimately pushed out to numerous websites. This engages the partners in
managing their content, relieves the DMO of the workload, and consolidates the CMS of
multiple websites into a singular platform.

EXTERNAL INTERFACES:
iDSS is fully integrated from the CRM system to Exact Target & Constant Contact for
email marketing campaigns. Unsubscribe requests will automatically update the
JOSS database.
Reports are fully accessible on all email campaign statistics.
JOSS integrates with Microsoft Outlook to sync correspondence to the CRM system
as tasks and notes. New email addresses (contacts) are prompted to create a new
account or create a new contact within an existing account.
iDSS is one of the first CRM providers to integrate and sync its system to
Destination Marketing Association, International's (DMAI) "EmpowerMiNT"system
to automatically gain valuable historical event data, and communicate post-event
statistics back to DMAI's database for subsequent events.
Lead response information can be migrated and merged with the DMO's brand
collateral material to create professional electronic proposal output. This e-proposal
function replaces the traditional DMO "bid book"in a faster, more professional
format in a highly cost-effective fashion. In addition, the organization's collateral
material can be digitized into an electronic flash file that can be viewed online or
downloaded quickly and easily.
iDSS has a unique integration with Cision, a leader in media tracking and
monitoring. Combined with our exclusive Media Management module, all aspects of
handling medial placements and monitoring and reporting on placements can be
seamlessly managed.
