AIM Computer Solutions, Inc. announces No Increases in Maintenance Rates for the 5th straight year

 

 

[Fraser, MI – October 31, 2006] – AIM Computer Solutions, Inc. announced that for the fifth year in a row, software maintenance rates will not increase.

 

Due to Michigan’s current economic condition and the challenges in the automotive industry AIM has chosen to hold our software maintenance rates at their current level.

 

“Our ability to maintain our maintenance at a fixed rate is based on our automotive supplier specific customer base, which is both focused and growing,” says Jerry Czernel, Vice President of Operations.  “Although we certainly see signs of recovery, we are glad to assist our base today as the industry undergoes massive changes.” 

 

The AIM customer base consists only of one customer type: the production part automotive supplier.  In addition to holding maintenance rates level, new features have been added to the AIM Vision ERP solution for suppliers over the last few years.  “As the margins in our niche market get tighter, we have had to provide more and additional early warning features to insure timely shipments and supply chain communications,” says Czernel. “Our base of suppliers has responded well to our additions, which are based on ideas that have been generated in AIM user group meetings and customers’ requests.  We are fortunate to have such an energetic and proactive group of suppliers in our customer base,” concludes Czernel.
