Automated Application Update Service

Everett, WA (June 7, 2007) – Building on the successful implementation of our automated software update service for Auction-Tracker, the development staff of Northwest Software Technologies, Inc. has successfully incorporated the update service plugin module into the rest of the Tracker-Series application suite... A'Thon-Tracker, Banquet-Tracker and Tournament-Tracker.

"Its one thing to publish or buy another publishers work and attempt to call it your own, but the mark of great software is in the support network that backs it. If you cannot obtain knowledgeable, accurate and timely support, the software becomes just another wasted expense" commented Jack D. Wilson, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Northwest Software Technologies, Inc.. "Unlike any other vertical market in the computer industry, the nonprofit sector sees the largest turnover rate in employees and volunteers. Having software that stays current on its own with minimal effort on the part of the end-user, significantly reduces organizational costs and makes entry into use of the application for those coming into the organization a far easier task. I am pleased to add our highly successful automated software update service to A'Thon-Tracker, Banquet-Tracker and Tournament-Tracker, a part of  Northwest Software's best of breed support network."

Since 1990, updates for the current application version used by the end-user are always provided free of charge. The automated software update plugins can be found on the Northwest Software site at http://www.nwsoftware.com/support/updates . We encourage users to download and install this great feature at their earliest opportunity.
