PR Newswire (US)
COMMACK, N.Y., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Protocall
Technologies Incorporated (OTC:PCLI) (BULLETIN BOARD: PCLI)
announced today that Corel Corporation, a leading global software
provider of popular brands such as the WordPerfect Office Suite(R),
the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite(R) and the Paint Shop Family(TM) of
digital photography and image editing software, will support its
distribution channel with Protocall's on-demand digital delivery
system for the retail marketplace. Corel joins more than 250 other
software publishers including IBM, Symantec, Intellisync and
Webroot currently using Protocall's flagship SoftwareToGo(R) system
to give consumers 100% in-stock access to more than 1,200 software
titles. The SoftwareToGo(R) system lets consumers browse and select
the software they want from multi-media touch-screen display
terminals located on the sales floor in retail stores. Orders are
produced behind the counter by store personnel in minutes using the
system's order fulfillment station. Protocall's digital delivery
systems enable electronics retailers, mass merchants, membership
warehouses, office super stores, specialty retailers, website
retailers and wholesale distributors, along with content owners, to
increase product availability at the point of sale while reducing
their dependence on physical inventories, one of the industry's
largest cost categories. Protocall created the on-demand digital
content delivery category in 1999. CompUSA uses SoftwareToGo in
store locations across three major market regions. TigerDirect.com
uses the system to provide same-day order fulfillment for a library
of software titles for its Web-based retail operation. "Corel
continues to seek new ways to expand our existing distribution
channel, and we see SoftwareToGo as an exciting and cutting edge
way to reach new customers," said Fiaaz Walji, Channel Sales
Director, Corel Corporation. "Virtual shelf space with Corel
products creates a competitive advantage for us and an immediate
benefit for the Corel customer." "On-demand digital delivery will
enable Corel to create and maintain immediate availability for the
most current versions of its products at all times," said Don
Hoffmann, Chief Executive Officer of Protocall. "It will add a
critical new dynamic to Corel's sales channel, simplifying and
accessing the digital sales floor from a new direction." About
