RTP Launches New Enterprise Framework

RTP|ONE, Based on Microsoft's .NET, Becomes Flagship Offering for Supply Chain Integration Software Provider

Avon, Colo. – Nov. 20, 2002 – Business software provider RTP today launched the RTP| ONE Enterprise Framework, the next generation of its leading product offering to the resort and recreation industry.

RTP|ONE is a unified and extensible order/transaction processing platform for developing and running enterprise applications and web services. Its n-tier architecture separates business logic from clients and data access, enabling greater flexibility in service delivery and deployment, shielding businesses from the inherent complexity and costs of operating and integrating disparate systems and enterprise applications.

Based on Microsoft's .NET architecture, RTP| ONE provides RTP customers with an unprecedented level of extensibility and flexibility, allowing them to consolidate all business systems under one integrated tool, while integrating only the application modules they need.

Peter Hoskins, RTP vice president of sales and marketing, said RTP|ONE will become the company's sole product.

"RTP|ONE's extensibility will let us serve our existing customers better, Hoskins said. "And, with the core application being independent of business logic, it allows us to offer solutions to new businesses and vertical markets. RTP|ONE is truly an enabling technology that lets us extend our competitive advantage."

Hoskins said RTP|ONE's modern, extensible architecture enables RTP to provide its framework to other technology vendors in previously untapped markets, further extending the company's presence.

RTP|ONE enables powerful Customer Relationship Management. All RTP|ONE capabilities, ranging from ticketing to food & beverage and event reservations, are integrated into a central database to provide an integrated resort experience for the guest and integrated real-time financial reporting for the resort.

RTP|ONE makes RTP the industry's leading vendor to provide a robust, complex product order and transaction processing engine via Web service for external consumption by any technology supporting industry-standard XML and SOAP.
