Press Release Summary: Free, Downloadable Case Study Demonstrates How
MaintenanceNet's Service360 Platform
Improves Product and Service Lifecycle Management; Helps Customers Market and Sell
More Services


Press Release Body: CARLSBAD, Calif. -- July 14, 2008 -- MaintenanceNet, Inc., the
leading provider of extended warranty and service contract management solutions, is
helping technology manufacturers and their channel partners improve lifecycle
management practices in order to identify, engage and secure new and renewed
maintenance service revenue. For a limited time, MaintenanceNet is offering free
access to a downloadable white paper illustrating a new approach to lifecycle
management that unlocks the full potential of service sales and marketing
initiatives across the supply chain.

Access to the white paper, which details the benefits of MaintenanceNet's Service360
platform for dynamic, 360-degree management of service contract lifecycles, is now

MaintenanceNet has also opened registration for a new web seminar series, "Sales
Made Simple Through Effective Lifecycle Management," which commences on July 23. The
web events will provide insight into new lifecycle management practices that grant
organizations complete visibility into their service businesses, empowering both
internal and external sales teams to attach more services, close more renewals and
manage product and service lifecycles to increase technology refresh sales.

According to Scott Herron, CEO of MaintenanceNet, best-practice lifecycle management
practices set the stage for dramatic increases in top- and bottom-line revenue. "The
reality is that most organizations lack a complete picture of their product and
service transactions. And without reliable customer information, it's nearly
impossible to effectively re-engage with your installed base to close important
follow-on sales that contribute significantly to revenue expansion," he said. "Our
Service360 platform is equipped with features that facilitate further business
growth and allow manufacturers, as well as channel partners, to gain the business
intelligence they need to market and sell more products and services through
complete lifecycle management."

Utilizing powerful data management techniques, MaintenanceNet unites multi-party
data sources that exist across the supply chain, cleansing and transforming that
data into relevant and usable sales and marketing information. The data is then
securely presented via the Service360 platform to enable manufacturers, channel
partners and end customers to manage and track the lifecycles of their products and
services while also transacting products and services online. Supporting language
translation and currency conversion, Service360 can be custom-branded for use
locally and globally.

Additionally, Service360 offers on-demand solutions that meet the varied needs of
the supply chain. Bundled with the Service360 platform is the Registration360
module, which helps customers register more service contracts and uncover lost
renewal opportunities. A transactional Quote to Order module is also available to
quickly and easily create quotes, and renew and order new services. In addition,
Campaign360 allows marketing executives to execute effective marketing campaigns for
follow-on product and service sales. More details on these services are included in
the downloadable case study.
