BARRINGTON, IL- August 4, 2005 - With an eye toward aggressive product expansion, Trondent recently hired travel technology veteran, Mark Ferguson. Mark had previously been President of AQUA Software Products where he successfully guided the company from its roots as a quality control Software Company to a global technology powerhouse, representing 16 different automated solutions, compatible on 5 different GDS.
"We are thrilled to have Mark on board at this critical juncture in our business. The need for new and creative technology solutions in our industry continues to grow as cost pressures and service demands escalate. Trondent has been pursuing aggressive development in the broader service areas of data management, meeting technology, Profile management, PNR quality and reservation processing because our clients are looking for efficiencies realized through single source providers," says Trondent President & CEO, Dave Wood. In his new role as Vice President of Product Development & Strategy, Mark is well equipped to leverage over 20 years of travel technology experience, covering broad product applications and disciplines from programming/development, to client consulting to operations management. "Our explosive growth and evolving client needs necessitated additional senior level resources to help manage our current product line and future development requirements so that we are always staying responsive to the marketplace with high-quality and relevant technology applications," continued Wood.
Trondent will be highlighting many of its new product applications, including ProFILER Web Master, at the upcoming NBTA convention in San Diego. This latest application uses wizard technology, allowing users with little to no programming knowledge to configure custom profile sites on their agency or client websites. More information to follow on this exciting development.
