Ontario Systems Announces Next Generation of FACS and Artiva Product Lines

Ontario Systems announced today its latest product offerings, designed to bring the innovation resulting from its significant investment in its next-generation Collect SAVVY™ product line to existing FACS® and Artiva® clients.

By making this introduction, Ontario Systems is pleased to extend the product lifecycles of both its FACS and Artiva product lines significantly into the future, affirming that instead of ending investment on these product lines, that investment will actually increase significantly.  FACS Advance™ and Artiva Advance™ will be made available to all Ontario Systems clients using FACS and Artiva through a staged series of standard quarterly product releases. The first of those product releases becomes available in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Ontario Systems CEO Tony Reisz explains, “Our client base has been enormously successful over the past three decades in using our industry-leading FACS and Artiva product lines. Along the way, they have consistently communicated to us that while they are eagerly anticipating the migration to our next-generation product of the future, Collect SAVVY, they very much would like to have a path that gets them there when it is right for them to make the transition. In addition, our existing clients would like for us to continue to enhance and improve our existing products and keep them productive and compliant while they plan their migration. The net result of that feedback is an extraordinary opportunity to bring to our FACS and Artiva clients the unique innovation that we have developed internally as a result of our significant research and development efforts in the Collect SAVVY vision.”

Senior Vice President, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer Ron Fauquher adds, “FACS Advance and Artiva Advance are the next evolution of our standard FACS and Artiva product lines. FACS Advance and Artiva Advance tap into the cloud-based innovation already baked into the next-generation Collect SAVVY product line and delivers that innovation to our existing clients today within our existing products. For more than thirty years, we have been committed to bringing our clients innovation in technology and best practices to operate their organizations with higher levels of productivity, compliance and efficiency in an ever-changing world.  Now more than ever before – the commitment continues!”

FACS Advance and Artiva Advance customers will receive access to a cloud-based set of business-intelligence tools and analytics, including; Connect SAVVY™, a cloud-based network of data services and vendor partners; GCFlex™, a dramatically expanded, integrated and hosted contact management platform; a cloud-based disaster-recovery service; a new, unique and innovative compliance advisory and interpretation service; and a set of powerful interface development tools and services based on industry-standard Microsoft technologies. All of these innovations are standard capabilities offered in Collect SAVVY, and FACS Advance and Artiva Advance customers will find that all of these innovative capabilities are designed to provide a seamless transition when they move from their current software to Collect SAVVY.
