 Leading Networking Technology Manufacturer Now Offering Service Finder as a Free Online Tool for Channel Partners and End Customers Carlsbad, California – November 13, 2007 -- MaintenanceNet, Inc., the leading provider of maintenance contract and warranty management services, today introduced Service Finder, a comprehensive new software-as-a-service (SaaS) tool designed to help technology manufacturers, along with their channel partners and end customers, search online to quickly find the right services for their products. Now available, Service Finder is already being used by a leading networking technology manufacturer, which is offering the service free of charge to its partners and customers via the MaintenanceNet web site at www.maintenancenet.com. Service Finder lets customers and partners search online for applicable services for their products by product name or SKU number. An auto-complete capability makes it easy to use the search functionality, allowing users to conduct a successful search without knowing all product details. The Service Finder instantly displays various service offerings at a glance, positioning the most recommended service at the top of each search. The result, says Scott Herron, CEO of MaintenanceNet, is that Service Finder allows customers to ensure that their IT assets are protected with the best possible choice in service offerings. "We’re proud to have already been selected by a leading technology manufacturer for this important SaaS solution, which will not only bring rapid service revenue growth to the manufacturer and its channel partners, but also deliver new levels of customer satisfaction as customers are able to quickly find the best service options for all of their technology assets," Herron said. As part of the Service Finder program, channel partners around the world can license and port a customized Service Finder applet to their own web sites to drive service annuity streams. Beyond providing service search functionality, the applet gives channel partners visibility into compatible services and other service and product data to facilitate proactive pre-selling. Now available as a stand-alone or integrated solution, Service Finder is priced according to the scope of data integration services required for implementation.
