Saturn V Software Systems, Inc. Announces The Release of MASTER MIND Web, The First Dealership Finance, Leasing and Management Program Available on the World Wide Web.

ALPHARETTA, GA AND CHATTANOOGA, TN (May 22, 2000) Saturn V Software Systems, Inc., a leading software development company for automobile dealerships, announces the completion of research and development and the immediate release of the web-based version of its automobile dealership finance and management program, MASTER MIND 2000. MASTER MIND Web combines all functionality of the desktop version including, primary and secondary finance, new and used leasing, complete funding and registration package preparation and printing, total inventory control, customer management and accounting, sales and management reporting. The MASTER MIND Web product also includes a manager’s reporting module for remote monitoring of dealership activity. The MASTER MIND Web product allows multi-site dealerships to share inventory to insure all customers’ needs are met and the deal structure is optimized for greater profit. The program is accessible from any computer through a standard TCP/IP connection with the entire program residing on a Microsoft NT platform server at a Saturn V contracted data center utilizing the latest in power redundancy, traffic management and security authentication.

"We have been perfecting the products over the years through input from our customers," stated Johnny Wilson, Founder and President, "and this is the next logical advancement for MASTER MIND based on the requests we have been receiving from our customers and partners. Dealers having multiple locations now have another option for their primary and secondary finance and leasing program needs without having to make a large hardware investment to network all of their locations, which is what our competitors require. The manager’s reporting module also decreases the travel time required to monitor dealership activity. Owners and regional managers can now view and print all management reports from any computer."

"We have the latest hardware platform hosting the program with scalability for thousands of users." stated Mr. Wilson "The combination of the selected hardware and the program’s structure, MASTER MIND Web has no loss of speed or functionality from the desktop version and has a 99.96% uptime. We have taken a very methodical approach to assure our products will continue to make a dealership more efficient and profitable and short of a nuclear explosion, our hosting facility will provide access twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week."

"We are very excited about the direction we are taking MASTER MIND" voiced J. R. Wilson, Vice President of Marketing and Sales, "and we are at the beginning stages of the e-commerce maturation of the product. The next phase includes the integration of our MASTER CREDIT qualifying program within the lending sources allowing the dealer to immediately submit the electronic application to the lender for an immediate decision. This combined with Beta projects in our lead generation, after-market and insurance partners, we are going to provide our customers with a complete business to business solution that provides a complete prospecting, sales, follow-up and service package. This functionality also provides their customers with a one-stop shop approach for their entire automobile purchasing needs."

MASTER MIND 2000 and MASTER MIND Web are immediately available from Saturn V Software and selected resellers.
