OCMUSA.COM a leading CRM Company Releases CheckCall.com Safe Harbor "Do-Not-Call, Do-Not-Fax, Do-Not-Email" List Manager Service for businesses nationwide. GRESHAM, OR., Nov. 21, 2003 - Today, OAC LLC, Parent company of OCMUSA announced a new service for its clients. The new service, which has up to this point been targeted only to car dealerships nationwide, addresses the FTC's new policy regarding outgoing telemarketing calls. The FTC has begun requiring that individual companies making outbound calls of almost any kind, search applicable Federal and state lists and offer a "company-specific" do-not-call list. This is in addition to the nationwide do-not-call registry and because of this new government requirement OAC LLC has developed the CheckCall technology to help businesses nationwide comply with the FTC's new ruling and specifically the "Safe Harbor" provisions of the new rules and to provide advanced tools for Do-Not-Email and Do-Not-Fax solutions. Do-Not-Fax rules have been in place for many years under the Federal "Telephone Consumer Protection Act" and with California's new (Jan 1, 2004) opt-in only email laws, and pending Federal email spam legislation, all businesses will soon have a need for Do-Not-Email technology. With OAC LLC's new CheckCall.com, each business is setup with an account which enables them to search their subscription to the Federal FTC Do-Not-Call lists along with any applicable State lists from any location 24/7 via the Internet. Easily add or remove the phone numbers or email addresses of customers who have requested to be removed from the business's individual calling, fax, or email list. Each time an employee wishes to make an outgoing phone call, they visit the CheckCall website and enter the customer's phone number.The CheckCall system will then instantly respond, and notify the employee if the customer appears on the "company-specific" do-not-call list and, in addition, it will also search any State lists and the FTC's national do-not-call registry along with recent qualifying transactions, inquiries, and written permission data to identify if the call is allowed under the "Established Business Relationship" exemptions which allows calls to consumers even if they are on the No-Call list. CheckCall also identifies the phone carrier and location helping employees to decide if they are calling a prohibited number such as a cell phone. If all else fails and you can't call the customer just hit the "Reverse Lookup" button and receive a name and address about 50% of the time and send them a mail solicitation. No product currently on the market offers this powerful combination of Do-Not-Contact and advanced marketing features! Complete, in depth, reporting is provided for all activities. Updates and Maintenance are easy, the CheckCall staff does all your FTC and State list updates, keeping the list current at all times and saving your staff all the maintenance headaches. The site also warns subscribers of any Do-Not-Call list subscriptions nearing expiration. OAC LLC introduced its first web-based service for car dealers nearly six years ago when it released its OCM the Online Customer Management System. With over one-hundred clients in the USA and Canada, OCM has been extremely successful. OAC LLC's new CheckCall service offering is already in use by several firms around the country, however beginning today it will be available to any business. "I'm glad we have been able to develop the technology to offer any business an inexpensive way to comply with the FTC's new ruling on telemarketing," said Dave Peterson, the company's founder and Chief Executive Officer. "Our technology allows small and large firms to protect themselves against the government's fines and helps them establish a policy for complying with the National Do-Not-Call Registry Safe Harbor provisions.
