DELRAY BEACH, FL (June 14, 2004) - SDD and Telemanager.net are merging their organizations with the express intent of delivering a communications profitability management solution that integrates SDD�s renowned JAZZ Enterprise ^TM communications accounting software and Telemanager.net�s measurement and verification-based management service programs. The merger will enable owners and managers of hotels and commercial properties to acquire, from a single source, both the technology tools and the expert support required to capitalize on the many cost reduction and revenue enhancement opportunities that are emerging from the rapid evolution of telephone and internet services.

One Solution. One or Many Properties. 

The SDD and Telemanager.net integration transforms diverse collections of call accounting systems and periodic point-in-time telecommunications consulting projects into a centralized, continuously managed and affordable ongoing service. "The power of having all communications data in one place and under continuous management by world-class telecommunications analysts is increasingly important," says Ron Tarro, President and CEO of SDD. Guest communications revenue is today increasingly personalized for brands, loyalty programs, corporate groups, and events. Meanwhile the complexity of managing costs has increased with the proliferation of competing communications providers, changing technology, and the form and complexity of their offerings and billing methods. "The merger of SDD and Telemanager.net solutions provide hoteliers with access to experienced analysts armed with the conclusive data and analytical tools required to assess and capitalize on cost and revenue opportunities. And from a single, integrated platform at costs that are affordable to the average hotelier," concludes Mr. Tarro.

Continuous Opportunities. Accelerated Outcomes. 

A changing communications world requires continuous management. The consolidation of SDD and Telemanager.net software, data, and services enables continuous illumination and analysis of the cost savings and revenue enhancement opportunities available to a property, while reducing the time to design and implement the targeted strategies required to capitalize on them. "Together with customers, we can now design targeted guest, group or loyalty-based pricing and packaging strategies, then immediately implement those strategies across one or many properties and continuously monitor and optimize each strategy�s outcomes," says Colin Halford, General Manager of Telemanager.net services line. "The same is true in cost management. The integration of services and technology allows us to design a hotel or commercial property telecommunications cost management strategy and continuously drive it for sustained ongoing results."
