PowerPressed adds annual pricing and new web portal to recently announced pricing and support model

PowerPressed today announces more major developments in its continued focus on the fast-growing Microsoft® PowerPoint® compression and optimisation marketplace.

Having recently announced a completely new pricing and support model (see release dated 26th October 2006) PowerPressed now introduces a new website, a new e-commerce and support portal and an exceptionally low cost annual pricing option for customers.

This additional initiative consists of three main elements –

• Annual pricing. The recent release outlined a major change in PowerPressed pricing, with full licenses (no annual renewal) reducing to only £9.99, $19.99 (USD) or €14.99 per user. This pricing makes PowerPressed the best value product by far for PowerPoint® compression. PowerPressed also recognises that some users may only have a short term need or might want to try the full product for a more extended period than the free trial. In view of this, PowerPressed today announces a one year license (full function product) for only £5.99, $11.99 or €8.50 per user. This further reinforces the PowerPressed ‘best value’ positioning in the marketplace and extends customer choice.

• New online portal. PowerPressed today announces the immediate availability of a new e-commerce portal on the corporate site (www.powerpressed.com) which delivers self service quotation and purchasing across the globe. At the same time the portal will add substantial capability to the support and FAQ functions requested by our customers. Both of these new capabilities have been extensively tested with customers and end-users and deliver the functions they requested of us.

• New website. Having completely restructured the pricing and support models, developed a new purchasing portal and improved the support function we decided it would be worth completely revamping our corporate website. PowerPressed announces today that the all-new website (again with many improvements requested by our customers) is now available at www.powerpressed.com.

Will Westley, Managing Director of PowerPressed said “we trust our customers and their views have helped us deliver the true ‘best value’ and the highest level of support service." "we are very pleased that best practice and market-leading economics are rewarded by customer loyalty and dramatic demand led by customer referral".
