for Clients, Staff

November 30, 2004, Palm Coast, FL. ACI, the leading innovator in appraisal technology, announced today that it now offers eTrac’s WebStudio, a complete online website solution specifically tailored to appraisers. Not only can WebStudio users quickly and easily design a fully functioning website to market their appraisal business, but they can also receive and download appraisal orders directly into ACI’s appraisal software.

WebStudio was developed with the individual appraiser in mind—affording the look and feel of a custom website with minimal financial investment. WebStudio provides an appraiser’s firm with an effective appraisal-marketing tool while still remaining on a budget. WebStudio also includes domain name registration and unlimited email accounts.

Appraisers will enjoy the fact that WebStudio’s website tool is customizable, interactive and fully manageable, and since it is web-based, there is no software to install. Users can create exciting flash-based intros to captivate their audience using their own photographs and company logo. Clients can be assigned their own logins to access necessary information and setup downloads like resumes and proof of insurance.

“The advent of tools like WebStudio has opened up a whole new dimension to the role that the Internet plays in small and large businesses alike. We are pleased that a major player like ACI recognizes the value that WebStudio brings to the table and the benefit and time savings realized through the integration with the ACI suite of products,” said Vladimir Bien-Aime, president, eTrac.

“ACI’s charter has always been to develop and integrate with tools that keep appraisers on the cutting edge of their trade. The addition of products like WebStudio is an exciting opportunity for appraisers since it combines form with functionality and provides increased automation firsthand while generating positive effects on business profitability,” said George Opelka, vice president, ACI.
