| 10/07/2008 Tri-Technical Systems Announce Integration of AIMsi and Music-Search Integration with Music-Search Allows Retailers to Search and Create Inventory Items Without Leaving The AIMsi Application October 7, 2008, Dubuque, IA – Tri-Technical Systems Inc., the industry leader in business and e-commerce solutions, today announced the availability of a direct integration between the AIMsi software and Music-Search. This enables retailers to access the Music-Search database without leaving the AIMsi software. Users no longer need to navigate to a different software application or website to access the Music-Search content. Instead, users can access Music-Search straight from the AIMsi software that they use for their everyday work. “Our goal is to allow the user to do as much as possible without leaving the AIMsi software.” said Pat Murphy, Vice President of Client Technology, “ We have found that users do not want to jump from software to software and different websites as they perform their daily work. The Music-Search integration is a great step towards saving the retailer time.” “This integration is important because it demonstrates our commitment to address our customers’ needs for tools that support their workflow. Through the integration, users can seamlessly access the Music-Search database via the internet.” Tri-Tech and Music-Search already serve many of the leading music stores across the U.S and Canada. The partnership integrates their flagship offerings: Tri-Tech’s AIMsi software and Music-Search’s Music-in-Print database. Myles Reck, president of MUSIC-SEARCH states, “The integration of our database with AIMsi software streamlines the search and importing process for sheet music. This new feature allows even the smallest of sheet music dealers to make a profit on add-on sheet music sales with just a few simple keystrokes. MI stores and sheet music dealers will simply see this as a must-have addition to their AIMsi software.” About Tri-Technical Systems |

Are you getting the best merchant rates on credit card transactions?
Several changes have been made to the AIMsi Version 8.0 PCCharge interface to ensure you are getting the best merchant rates on credit card transactions.
A unique ticket number is now sent to PCCharge. This ticket number appears on PCCharge reports and can be referenced back to an AIMsi transaction using the new Ticket Search program under Credit Card Options. Make sure that you have system variable ‘AuthorizationType’ set to ‘PCCHARGEXML’. Make sure that you have system variable ‘AuthorizationAddr’ set to ‘T’. This will send the address and zip code to PCCharge. If you do recurring billing (rental/lesson autopays) you need to be aware of the following: 1) It is the merchants responsibility to make sure that your processor has you setup for recurring billing. If you are not setup for recurring billing the steps below will not get you a better rate. 2) The CVV code needs to be sent on the first payment. Since you are not allowed to store the CVV code in a database, this means that your first payment needs to be done manually so that you can enter the CVV code. 3) The first payment needs to be coded as a recurring charge. You will need to check the ‘Recurring Billing’ check box on the Credit Card Authorization screen. It is not advisable to check this box during a regular sales transaction. Processors do keep track of this recurring billing flag. 4) All subsequent payments need to be marked as recurring billing. This will happen automatically during autopay process. |

We hope everyone had a successful NAMM show. Thanks to everyone that stopped by to see us at the booth. This year we had our biggest booth ever. For those of you that missed us, we had five computers going nonstop showing the system to new dealers and existing dealers checking out the new the Version 8. We had V8 logo M&M’s to hand out and V8 engine sounds rumbling in the background. John Gray was in the booth assisting dealers with questions and explaining his new Out Sourcing program. We also had Mike Farrell explaining his Credit America delinquency program.
The Users Meeting was a great success. We had close to two hundred people packed into the Idea Center. Paul and Pat went over the new V8 features. Many dealers have requested a copy of our power point presentation. You can download the power point from our download page under "Other Files". Here is the link to our V8 Features page.
 We will be releasing V8 the first week of February. Give your account rep a call to still receive the NAMM discount on V8. The discount expires January 31. |
