RENO, Nev.--(Business Wire)--
PC-Doctor Inc. today announced a new cloud based service that delivers timely,
contextual messaging that allows OEM and other business partners the ability to
deliver highly personalized service and support capabilities. 

PC-Doctor Intelligent Messaging Services (IMS) offers contextual support and
monetization in a unified framework, creating unique opportunities for global PC
manufacturers, retailers, ISVs, telecoms and others to improve the total
customer support experience while building APOS revenue and profit streams. 

"Top OEMs trust our system health solutions to deliver intrinsic value to their
customers," said Steve Petracca, PC-Doctor chief executive officer. "Intrinsic
value is essential if users are to give their permission to deliver support and
marketing offers focused on solving issues and enhancing user experiences." 

PC-Doctor`s new services come at a time when International Data Corp. is
reporting that U.S. consumers and small businesses will spend more than $18
billion next year on PC-related accessories, peripherals, software and services.


Unlike centralized data mining and web watching approaches, the IMS server does
not collect personal information to deliver a contextual message. Instead, the
server delivers a general manifest of broadly applicable support and marketing
messages to the client; granular processing is completed by the PC based on the
results of diagnostic tests, system information, state matching and inferences.
For example, by monitoring the health of a battery through a daily health scan
in idle time, the local application can serve dual purposes - warning the user
that the battery is past its prime ability to hold a charge, and offering the
correct replacement at the point of need. 

Built with a robust cloud based infrastructure to ensure reliability and
scalability, IMS is augmented by operational services such as automated warranty
repair processing, professional marketing messaging, web proxying and
translations into 24 languages to support world wide deployment.
