Happy Turkey Day!!


Thanksgiving is probably one of my favorite holidays. I love that it is a day that revolves around family and FOOD! Everyone who ventures out on the highways this year be sure to drive safely!
The new CT product line is something that is much needed. The Cyber Tracker is a extremely powerful tool that can be utilized in hundreds of different applications, however there are people and companies that need a "dumbed" down version of the Cyber Tracker. Having different products that provide different functions will greatly effect how we are able to sell. Some people have asked if we will have to go through the certification process again with the new devices. The good news is that they are already done! We will be able to start selling right away! I have to stress that the two new products are not in anyway a replacement for the original Cyber Tracker, they are simply a way to increase sales and our customer base.

A Good Day!

Finally.... The AT&T certification is done! We now have both the device certification and the solution certification.

Why is that important?

As I said in the last AT&T blog, having a certification from AT&T gives us credibility to the carrier and customer but more importantly gives us access to the sales channels. We could have gone right to production with the Cyber Tracker but we would have had to do it with out any support from AT&T. What is next? With the 2 major stumbling blocks behind us we can now start the manufacturing process and get the first units in the hands of sales agents and representatives. With more than 220 countries and 900 carrier organizations that are running GSM, the possibilities are truly limitless.

As a result of the certification, we were able to meet with an organization in Washington DC yesterday for a large opportunity that would use the GSM Cyber Tracker. As more information becomes available on the multitude of opportunities, I will be suere to pass it along.

I also want to give a special thanks to everyone at AT&T who got this pushed through before the holidays!

It has been an extremely busy week here at HISS. I have been involved in some great meetings and have been busy with some new additions to marketing. We have almost finished the new marketing material for the Cyber Tracker. It is certainly was a much needed change from the old slicks. I think everyone will agree that the new look is definitely a improvement over the old ones. What we like about the new slicks, besides the new look and feel, is that it is much more of a consumer friendly design. We also decided to put our most requested Cyber Tracker accessories on the back in order to give our customers a better idea of what can be added to increase their value. In an effort to go “green”, all the new promotional material is set-up specifically to be emailed or downloaded from our website. I will be sure to post the final version one it is ready to go out.
