RESTON, VA (PRWEB) February 3, 2004 --gomembers inc., the leading technology and solutions provider for member-based organizations, unveiled its new Microsoft .NET built member-based enterprise software solution, Q, to a group of technology professionals yesterday.

The debut, in advance of its upcoming release scheduled for the end of the first quarter, highlighted many of Q capabilities, and generated praise from observers who felt that Q could revolutionize the industry.

gomembers, Inc., President and CEO, Paul Plaia III, detailed the highlights of Q and noted that two important ways in which Q expands customer opportunities and enhances productivity are through its use of .NET technology and the systems intuitive interface.

Time is so important to our customers. When we developed Q, we knew that Microsofts .NET technology would allow them to expand their service offerings and provide their current programs and services more efficiently," said Plaia. According to gomembers, Q is built using the Microsoft .NET architecture and tools including: Visual Studio.NET, ASP.NET, C# and ADO.NET. These tools create an environment where data can be exchanged seamlessly.

Another benefit to Q, according to Plaia, is that the system is largely personalized.

Q is a completely user defined and driven system, meaning the users can create their own personal system within the system itself, allowing for the creation of their own screens, tabs, sections, fields and functionality."

In reviewing the new Q product yesterday, several observers agreed with Plaia, saying that Qs development placed gomembers at a strategic advantage.

gomembers is taking the best design elements from all their existing products," commented one technology professional familiar with gomembers. By doing this, they retain the value of over 100 years of combined development while leveraging modern technology; an approach that will satisfy gomembers existing customers while still being compelling to new customers."

The demonstration yesterday of Q comes following the release of the other products in gomemberss Q series: Qcommerce, a one-stop information, sales and customer service center for members and other customers, and QRD, its query, reporting and data extraction tool.

I haven't seen these levels of demand and interest since we released the first enterprise-wide browser-based application in early 1997," stated Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Tom McGourty. This was our dmg4 product, which at that time revolutionized enterprise solutions when it was released. At that time dmg4 left the competition years behind. We have the same expectation for Q."
