Vacation Bureau Hires
SME Technologies For IT Process Improvement
Pocono-area technology provider wins account
on comprehensive approach to IT
Mount Pocono, PA – May
22, 2003
The Pocono Mountains Vacation Bureau, a public agency promoting
leisure activities in Northeast Pennsylvania, has hired SME Technologies,
a high quality provider of network, telephony and Internet services, to
enhance and re-align its network infrastructure and consult on the
organization’s use of software.
“We have turned to SME Technologies, one reliable source for our IT
issues, instead of to three contractors that may tell us different things
pertaining to different systems needs,” said Pocono Mountains Vacation
Bureau Director Mathilda Harrison-Sheptak.
SME Technologies has standardized the Bureau’s PC network, consulted
on how the Bureau can capture greater economies with its land line
arrangements, and recently enhanced the destination’s dynamic winter season
website, which relies on interactive database management to be highly
responsive to site visitors.
Through an advanced database collection scheme, SME Technologies now
provides the Pocono Mountains Vacation Bureau’s www.poconoski.com website with auto
distribution of leads to over two dozen Pocono-area businesses, among them
leading lodging, entertainment and ski resorts.
“The Pocono Mountains Vacation Bureau, like many organizations,
cannot remain dormant and rely entirely on past IT arrangements to be the
dynamic service provider it is in the region,” said SME Technologies
CEO Carl Silverstein. “We have been able to provide efficiencies for
the Bureau and look forward to continuing our relationship, enabling them,
from an IT perspective, to respond to visitors in the way they want.”
