>>>>>Hello!

>>>>>
>>>>>This software enables them to send work orders directly to your company

>>>>>
>>>>>FSS, (formerly Keyprestige, Inc.) will send work directly to you on
>>>>>behalf
>>>>>of
>>>>>these manufacturers, as well as ourselves, soon.
>>>>>
>>>>>Some of the benefits of the technology FSS offers are:
>>>>>Standard Job Portal - All OEMs on the FSS system dispatch work via the
>>>>>FSS
>>>>>portal.  It gives you the power of a singe point of entry for all jobs
>>>>>from
>>>>>those OEMs, via a communication method you select.
>>>>>
>>>>>Consumer Ease of Scheduling - One call gives the customer an appointment
>>>>>with a
>>>>>high confidence level they won't be missed. The time you currently spend
>>>>>scheduling with the consumer is eliminated.
>>>>>
>>>>>Call Taking Simplification - Call center representatives have a clear,

>>>>>
>>>>>Servicer Dispatch Management - The chore of trying to "make it all fit"
>>>>>is
>>>>>greatly reduced. You tell us how many jobs to book on your behalf, and
>>>>>when!
>>>>>
>>>>>Route Optimization - The artificial intelligence optimizer provides the
>>>>>most
>>>>>efficient call routing possible, once all of your calls are handled
>>>>>through
>>>>>FSS.
>>>>>
>>>>>Reduced Turn Around Time on Claims - Claim information is pre-populated
>>>>>in
>>>>>the
>>>>>KeyPrestige ClaimWorks system. There is no need to retype it, therefore,
>>>>>reducing submission errors and rejections! Just add the parts and labor
>>>>>details
>>>>>and press the submit button. Your claim is processed!
>>>>>
>>>>>To get this process started, you will receive a test email on Thursday,
>>>>>05/05/05. Please click on the "ACCEPT" button within the email to ensure
>>>>>that
>>>>>you may receive email dispatches from us correctly. You may also log on
>>>>>to
>>>>>the
>>>>>FSS portal, at http://FSS.ServicePower.com, using your KeyPrestige login
>>>>>ID
>>>>>and
>>>>>password to access your dispatches.
>>>>>
>>>>>You will begin receiving all of your dispatches via the FSS web portal,
