you would like to help enhance the knowledge of the group. We will have an
agenda out within two weeks. If there is a specific topic that you would

accommodate.

breakfasts, break refreshments and lunches for the three days. Dinner Saturday
will be a hay wagon ride sponsored by Burt at Rawhide, a western town, north of
Phoenix. Bob Kotwasinski, VP of Production will host the Arizona Republic
sponsored dinner Sunday at the R&G Ranch. Friday and Monday Dinner will be on
your own. Conference activities will formally start Saturday morning.
Other activities are available outside of the conference; please contact Norm
or me, and we can help with directions and suggestions.
We need a head-count as soon as possible to secure rooms. We will
reserve a block of rooms based on the response from this and the previous note.
Please respond to this note if you plan to attend. We are looking for a
firm commitment at this time. Please respond to Lynda Muller at:
lynda.muller@pni.com
Remember, the conference can only be as good as the members make it. Money is
tight for everyone, but hopefully you can present a case about the potential
gains you get from conference attendance.

Denver Newspaper Agency Goes e-BURT
Critical server failure mandates switch-over
September 13, 2002
A critical server failure
experienced by the Denver Newspaper Agency caused them to turn to e-BURT,
the ASP version of the BURT System, offered by Burt Technologies, Inc.
According to Paul Gledhill, Vice
President of Operations for the Agency, “The Denver Newspaper Agency is deeply
indebted to Burt for their assistance in helping us recover from a server
meltdown. Burt was able to switch our critical clients to the e-BURT server,
maintained at their co-location facility, with all our data in less than 24
hours. We hardly missed a beat with our inserting, distribution and staffing
modules deployed here at the Agency and this is all due to the diligent
efforts of the Burt support staff.”
According to Rich Burt, CEO of Burt,
“Early on, Denver realized the value of our Disaster Recovery (DR) option
which allowed their application data to be warehoused off-site at a
state-of-the-art co-location facility. DR e-BURT, powered by
Citrix technology, provides them with a secure
back-up for invaluable data and allows for periodic updates to application
data. When their server went down and it became apparent that their backups
weren’t good, we made their data accessible online by connecting to the e-BURT
servers.”
e-BURT is designed to transition users
from the client/server environment to the Web server environment without the
need for costly and timely re-development and deployment.
This reduces the need for hardware and
tech support from Burt and removes the need for information technology
administration. e-BURT heightens client security and decreases liability.
Deployment of the system and upgrades to the system are instantaneous and
customer support is offered twenty-four hours per day.
Burt Technologies, Inc, based in
Evergreen, Colorado, is a software solutions company fulfilling the needs of
the vertical marketplace in the packaging and distribution industry. The
Company has more than 45 clients across the United States and Canada
using its proven software management system.

BURT Makes Valuable Software Available to
Everyone
June 8, 2001
EVERGREEN, COLORADO – Burt Technologies, Inc., the leading packaging and direct mail insertion software company, announces the
release of e-BURT, the Application Service Provider (ASP) versions of their
existing software products.
e-BURT represents an innovative evolution of the BURT
System, being administered from a server via an online interface to provide a
universal platform that promotes affordability. The ASP version is designed to increase the size of the
Company’s target market and to fulfill the needs of lesser circulation
publications.
Prior to its release, many publications could not reap
the benefits of a legitimate packaging and distribution management software
solution, cost being the primary deterrent. By bringing Burt’s proven
technology solutions into an ASP version, they can decrease overhead costs and
pass those savings and the resource on to a whole new market segment.
e-BURT is designed to transition users from the
client/server environment to the Web server environment without the need for
costly and timely re-development and deployment.
This reduces the need for hardware and tech support
from Burt and removes the need for information technology administration.
e-BURT heightens client security and decreases liability. Deployment of the system and upgrades to the system are
instantaneous and customer support is offered twenty-four hours per day.
In conjunction with the release of e-BURT, the Company
is also announcing the release of DR e-BURT.
The Disaster Recovery (DR) option allows application data to be warehoused off-site at a state-of-the-art co-location
facility. DR e-BURT provides
users with a secure back-up for invaluable data and allows for periodic
updates to application data. If
an on-site server were to go down, the information would still be
accessible online by connecting to DR e-BURT.
Burt Technologies, Inc, based in Evergreen, Colorado,
is a software solutions company fulfilling the needs of the vertical
marketplace in the packaging and distribution industry. The Company has more
than 41 clients across the United States and Canada using its proven software
management system, and is launching new products to reach fertile and
untouched market segments.
