Kaulkin Information Systems Offers KIS Track(SM) SaaS Technology Platform to Companies Threatened by California Wildfires

BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaulkin Information Systems (KIS), a leading provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS) technologies for financial services, legal and compliance-centric industries, today announced that the company's Internet-based KIS Track technology platform is being made available to at-risk companies in the region of the California wildfires for purposes of disaster recovery, risk mitigation and business continuity.

In order to support the immediate needs of companies in the wildfire area, the company is waiving user license fees and 20GB of storage fees for the KIS Track platform through the end of 2007. KIS will charge only the standard $695 database set-up fee and standard data storage fees at the monthly rate of $15 per GB above 20GBs.

The company's flagship product offering, KIS Track integrates multiple application "modules" designed to address the document archiving, data management, disaster recovery, compliance and risk mitigation needs of businesses in a wide variety of sectors. In addition to financial services, these industry sectors include banking/insurance, accounts receivable management, collections, pharmaceuticals, healthcare/medical, franchise management, property management, government and others.

"With the fast spread of the wildfires in the Los Angeles and San Diego areas over the past couple of days, we have been contacted by many companies and business owners asking how quickly we could assist them in archiving critical documents that might be at-risk of fire/water damage or destruction," stated Michael P. Binko, president and CEO of Kaulkin Information Systems. "Being that we are a SaaS Internet-based software application, companies could begin uploading critical documents immediately."

While the company has been primarily contacted with requests from existing customers and prospects, the fast spread of the wildfires has convinced the company to broaden the availability of KIS Track to companies outside its existing customer community and industries.

"Many of the companies contacting us do not have a formal disaster strategy or recovery plan and are having a difficult time figuring out where to begin," added Binko. "We are suggesting that the first place to start is critical legal and operational documents associated with core business functions -- such as executed customer contracts, intellectual property materials, partner agreements, and human resource materials. For a mid-sized business, this might be 500-1000 pages of core documents that can be uploaded quickly in a matter of hours."

Larger organizations or highly-departmentalized companies are asked to contact KIS directly as there are several techniques that can be employed to speed up the process of digitization and transfer of larger amounts of documents and data. The minimum requirements on the customer side are a reasonably-fast Internet connection (above 128Kbps), a computer with a fairly recent (2001 or newer) Web browser application and a document scanner. Options exist for companies with no scanner, however, may require a few extra steps in the process.

Interested companies are asked to visit http://www.kistrack.com/phoenix and enter their basic information. Alternatively, KIS sales representatives can be contacted via telephone at 301-907-0840*180 or via e-mail to sales@kistrack.com. Payment is required for the database set-up fees at time of service activation. Data storage fees will be charged on a monthly usage basis.
