NPRA Maintenance Conference Exhibition

InterPlan Systems exhibited at the 2005 NPRA Maintenance and Reliability Conference in New Orleans last week. This marked our first year to exhibit at the show and it was excellent.

The exhibition hall was filled with both new and familiar faces. We would like to thank everyone who came by our booth and said hello.

eTaskMaker and ATC Professional were both well received. We look forward to following up on the strong interest expressed at the show.

We will definitely be on hand at next year’s show in San Antonio. We hope to see you there!

Next eTaskMaker Seminar

The April 28th seminar demonstrating the eTaskMaker – ATC Professional (demo) solution for generating high quality cost estimates was well received by attendees. We will likely continue to schedule one free seminar a month as our schedule allows.

We will not be offering a free seminar in May as we will be exhibiting at the 2005 NPRA Reliability and Maintenance Conference in New Orleans. Of course, you are welcome to stop by our booth (#140) for a personal demonstration.

The next scheduled free seminar is set for Thursday, June 23rd. The seminar will show how to use the eTaskMaker Wizard, eTaskMaker Module Editor and cost reports available through the ATC Professional demo.

It will be held at the Houston Business Roundtable’s training facility across from Hobby Airport. Attendance is free, but pre-registration is required to guarantee a seat.

You may now purchase eTaskMaker, ATC Professional and the Conceptual Cost Estimator over the internet with your corporate or personal credit card. Of course, we still accept corporate purchase orders, but credit card orders are now offered due to the growing number of inquiries we have had from consultants and small businesses for this option.

InterPlan Systems has engaged 2CheckOut.com Inc. (Ohio, USA) as an authorized retailer for our project estimating, planning, scheduling and management software. All orders placed here are processed using their secure system.

ATC Professional Price Reduction!

Effective immediately, InterPlan Systems has restructured the licensing terms for ATC Professional to make it more affordable. Following the success of our eTaskMaker market strategy, we are endeavoring to market ATC Professional at an aggressive price point to capture market share.

If you have inquired about ATC Professional previously, we encourage you to contact us again for the new licensing terms. We look forward to working with you in establishing the ATC Professional Shutdown / Turnaround Management System as a key component of your turnaround management strategy.
