Certain Software®, Inc. Announces Version 11 of eventsProTM and eventsInteractiveTM

Most Ambitious Release of the Global Meetings and Events Industry’s Leading Event Management Products Brings New Modules and Hundreds of New Features

SAN FRANCISCO, CA–(EMWNews – July 30, 2008) – Certain Software introduces new events

management functionality to meeting professionals, event organizers and

conference planners around the world with the release of Version 11 of

eventsPro and eventsInteractive. Expanded capabilities in eventsPro, the

world’s leading event management software, cover the areas of sales and

sponsorship as well as visual table allocation, while eventsInteractive,

its online interactivity companion software, will add a survey module,

express form templates and optimized user console design.

“This release truly positions Certain as the global leader in providing

technology solutions to the meetings and events industry,” says Certain

Software’s Chief Operating Officer, Trevor Gardiner. “Version 11 of

eventsPro and eventsInteractive is our most ambitious product version

release to date, packing in many major events management and online

interactive features which our customers have been requesting.” Mr.

Gardiner was previously CEO with Amlink Technologies, whose flagship

product, eventsPro, is now part of the Certain Software product family

since Amlink Technologies merged into Certain Software in April 2008.

The Version 11 release incorporates the increasing need to put information

at event organizers’ fingertips in a central application that integrates

with other pivotal data and can be accessed via intuitive management

screens. The new modules in eventsPro and eventsInteractive are designed to

expand on event organizers’ ability to manage all aspects of any size or

shape of meeting, event or conference and leverage the advantages of the

internet.

eventsPro Version 11 includes an enhanced Sales and Sponsorship Module that

enables event organizers to build and customize product packages for

prospective customers or sponsors. Once the packages have been set up, it

is possible to manage and track the potential sale from initial proposal to

final confirmation. This module will also manage the delivery of the

inclusions in each package. Packages might include event sponsorship (Gold,

Silver, Bronze sponsors), bulk registrations (for example, “book ten

tickets” and “pay for eight”) or a table of ten at a function, as examples.

The Visual Table Allocation feature introduced in eventsPro Version 11 is a

visual table-planning tool. Event organizers can use Visual Table

Allocation to set up a graphical floor plan on-screen, laid out as it would

be at the actual function. The floor plan may be for a dinner or another

seated function, for example, with theater-style seating. Event organizers

can allocate attendees to specific seat numbers, with great flexibility.

The Survey Module in eventsInteractive Version 11 enables event organizers

to set up online surveys and analyze the results. They can choose to send a

survey to any filtered set of records in their database or all of them. If

the respondents are already in the database, a personalized link may be

sent to them in order for their replies to be stored against their

demographics record. New respondents to a survey can be added to the

database as new records — automatic duplicate checking can be enabled for

this process. Surveys may also be anonymous. Survey Questions are stored in

a Question Library, and used multiple times in different surveys, meaning

event organizers can analyze responses to the same question across multiple

surveys.

The new eventsInteractive Site Builder is the user-friendly interface

designed to assist with the creation, publishing and ongoing maintenance of

eventsInteractive registration sites. The new Site Builder contains a

number of powerful tools and features including a wizard that walks users

through the creation of a full new website in a matter of minutes, a Style

Editor to control over all aspects of the look and feel of event websites

and a Links page that conveniently lists all the relevant web links

associated with a site created in eventsInteractive.

“The depth of functionality available across the Certain Software product

family is something our customers and the marketplace are responding to

with quite a lot of enthusiasm,” says Certain Software’s Director of

Marketing, Kimberly Enright. “On our enterprise application side, the

Version 11 release of eventsPro and eventsInteractive is a huge step in

meeting the demands of Certain’s global users across a remarkably wide

spectrum of industries and geographies.”
