10200 51st Avenue North <br />Minneapolis, MN 55442 <br /> <br />(Minnesota tdl-free) <br />800-328-3072 <br /> (National toll.f~ee) <br /> <br />AmeriData <br /> <br />December 22., 1987 <br /> <br />Dear NMS User, <br /> <br />Enclosed you will find the contract for support of your current NMS <br />software for 1988. As indlca~ed by this contract AmeriData is still in a <br />position to offer front line support for our Municipal Software <br />customers. Please sign this contract'and return.as soon as possible to <br />assure continued support. <br /> <br />In the Users Group meeting of October 21, 1987 we discussed %he current <br />status of NMS and AmeriData. It was communicated at that time AmeriData <br />was lookinK for a Development Partner to help fund the development of a <br />new generation of municipal software products. We were unable to find an <br />acceptable partner and have decided to simply return the product to a <br />"frozen" state. This means we will continue to support our current <br />products but will do no further development or enhancement of these <br />products. We have completed all our outstanding development obligations <br />such as W4's and Shoreview's custom development and have reduced our <br />development staff to reflect this new level of activity. Modification <br />assistance may be accomplished on a time and expenses basis with <br />AmeriData. <br /> <br />It has come to my attention that, because of our action in the Municipal <br />marketplace~ AmeriData is perceived to be in some sort of financial <br />difficulty. I would like to respond to that rumor. AmeriData is <br />currently in a record sales year. Our sales are at a paqe approximately <br />twice what they were this time last year. For us to be competitive in <br />this market, a state-of-the-art sof~ware development effort would be <br />required and with our current growth rate this would be prohibitive. <br />Therefore-we have determined this venture to be inappropriate at this <br />time. <br /> <br />Again, AmeriData as a company is in no financial difficulty; we have <br />determined this portion of our business is no longer a profitable one and <br />have redeployed our resources in a more profitable' direction. <br /> <br />If you have any questions please feel free to give me a call. <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br />~Jim McCleary <br /> President <br /> <br />A n equal opportuni~., employer <br /> <br /> <br />
