Quality control.

EmergeCore Networks, a developer of integrated IT solutions for small business and branch offices, announced that its award-winning IT-100 "IT in a Box" has acquired the endorsement of the Council of Residential Specialists with the industry-recognized CRS Quality Tested Seal.

IT-100 solution provides realtors with all the IT services and functionality required in their office. It is designed specifically for the needs of the small business, offering a rich portfolio of services and an easy to use GUI management interface.

"We have put the IT-100 through a rigorous, independent review process," said Richard Lawson, director of products for CRS.

"During the testing, we ask whether the product would be helpful to a realtor, can it save them money and is it easy to use. It passed every test we put it through and we have concluded that yes, it is useful to realtors, it will save them money and it is easy to use. We are pleased to put our coveted CRS Quality Tested Seal on the IT-100, 'IT in a Box'."

Lawson continued, "This product is the very first hardware/software solution that CRS has reviewed and approved for our members' use, it represents well the marriage between useful technology with hardware and software."

Dave Brown, chief executive officer at EmergeCore said, "The IT100 allows real estate agents to immediately establish themselves and their small office or branch on the Web. It provides them with a vehicle to promote their agency, improve their bottom line, and maintain necessary IT services at a low cost. It also serves as an equalizer; it allows smaller firms the ability to effectively compete against larger organizations."
