CLEVELAND, OH, March 15, 2005 – Merrymeeting®, Inc. (MMI) today announced the launch of Marathon Technology Services (MTS), LLC, a subsidiary specializing in providing managed, open-source application solutions and services to franchisors. “MTS combines our management team’s franchising experience with our technology expertise to bring a superior solution suite to market,” stated Steve Mueller, CIO for MMI and President of MTS. “As a franchisor ourselves, we know the technology needs and challenges that must be addressed to enhance and support a franchise system.” The MTS solution suite offers franchisors the ultimate in flexibility, allowing a franchisor to select only the services and products they need, including a franchisee intranet, email, franchisee websites and public website design. As hosted solutions, franchisors do not need to invest in hardware, software or IT personnel to implement and maintain these essential technology components. “Our solutions and services are ideal for the mid-size franchise system that needs more robust functionality to support and add value to its franchisees, but does not have or want an IT department,” stated Mr. Mueller. “Having the right technology in place helps franchisors increase profits, attract new franchisees, improve existing franchisee satisfaction and justify royalty increases.” Merrymeeting, Inc. is an investment firm specializing in the acquisition and development of franchise systems and related services.
