Serotek Announces an End to Software Maintenance Agreements
Industry Standard SMAs No Longer Standard<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn \u2013 January 28, 2009 \u2013 Serotek Corporation, the leading provider of internet and digital information accessibility software and services, today announced that it will no longer require a fee to upgrade or maintain any software in its product line.
Software companies traditional have charged fees under a contract, commonly known as a Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA), to upgrade to newer versions of their software packages. Serotek will continue to provide regular upgrades and software improvements but will offer them free of charge to all Serotek customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement was formally made today at the Assistive Technology Industry Association (ATIA) annual conference in Orlando, Florida, with the company\u2019s \u201cRIP SMA\u201d campaign. The first such offering of its kind, the news was met with great user enthusiasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrue to our belief that accessibility is right, not a privilege, we are excited to lead the industry in pronouncing SMAs are dead.\u201d said Mike Calvo, CEO, Serotek Corporation, \u201cUsers of our System Access product line can now enjoy one price, one time, forever. And we encourage the industry to follow suit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reactions to this news can be found on the company\u2019s podcast, Serotalk, which is being broadcast live from the conference\u2019s Internet Caf\u00e9, which is being sponsored by the Serotek Corporation.
