FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ALERTSITE WEB SITE MONITORING ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL
YEAR
Boca Raton, FL - (December
21, 2001) - AlertSite,
an innovative service that monitors web sites
around-the-clock, is ending 2001 with a bang.
The company allows customers (subscribers) to
improve their quality of web-based service to
foster competitiveness and customer satisfaction.
It has grown immensely since it began monitoring
in 1999 with just a handful of customers. Today
AlertSite performs a staggering 10 million site
checks/tests each month for some of the world's
largest manufacturers, government agencies and
ASPs. Customers include Honda UK, Gibson Guitar,
Blue Martini, Cracker Barrel and Purina Mills.
Other sites, such as charitable organizations,
are monitored free-of-charge.
AlertSite has received external
praises from trade publications this year. Most
recently, PC Magazine noted that AlertSite was
a "…best buy" (December 11,
2001). Earlier this year AlertSite was named
a finalist in eWEEK's eXcellence Awards. More
than 1,000 entries from 640 companies were submitted
for this first annual award.
Initially AlertSite only monitored
from its Boca Raton headquarters. Today the
company has five monitoring stations around
the globe including California, Maryland, England
and Singapore to provide a global Internet look
for its clients' users. The company has been
fully funded by its founders and has been profitable
and continued to generate positive cash flow
for eight consecutive quarters.
"We are proud of our
accomplishments to date, especially since noting
some of our competitors have ceased operations,"
said Ken Gross, president of AlertSite. "We
developed our business with a philosophy of
minimizing costs whenever and wherever possible.
As a result AlertSite has continued to enjoy
profitable margins, positive cash flow and annual
revenue growth. Not many technology companies
today can make this same claim of profitability
since inception."
AlertSite is in the
process of raising $4.5 million in funding,
part of the company's strategy to expand operations
internationally, broaden its market and to establish
itself as the leading monitoring service. The
initial stage of funding will be used to develop
new products, increase sales and marketing efforts
and to complete the deployment of the AlertSite
Network to an international audience. The company
plans to add 10 monitoring stations by mid-2002.
