Robust Operations Key to Customer Satisfaction and Retention

SANTA CLARA, Calif., -- July 26, 2004 -- Discount travel site Hotwire.com has selected OpSource, Inc., a provider of next-generation outsourced IT infrastructure services, to provide monitoring and escalation services for its operations. By using OpSource's SigmaWatch™, a monitoring and performance management solution, Hotwire delivers high performing operations for its customers.

"The monitoring and escalation services that OpSource provides to Hotwire are an important part of our commitment to site performance and a quality customer experience," stated TJ Clark, Hotwire Corporate Counsel. "In addition, OpSource gets high marks for its professionalism, responsiveness and ability to smoothly transition operations from our previous service provider."

OpSource delivers continuous 24x7x365 Customer Care Center support and proactively monitors devices, alerting Hotwire of potential problems or outages before customers are even aware of the problem. OpSource provides live technicians for issue resolution and a dedicated Program Manager.

"Site uptime and performance is of course critical for any e-commerce entity, particularly travel, as inventory is highly perishable," continued Clark.
