November 23 - SmallCapSentinel.com: Finding a Niche
The software sector is dominated by Goliath-like names that nearly every investor is familiar with. Microsoft, Oracle, and a few other players rule the proverbial roost in the software world when it comes to sales, profits and investor affection. To be sure, the software business is split into kingdoms. Microsoft dominates software applications for personal computers while Oracle is an enormous provider of enterprise software. This certainly curtails room for competitors, but if a smaller player can focus on the right niche, it just might find its way to prime-time billing in an industry.
Optical Systems Inc. (OTC: OPSY) appears to have found its niche in the automotive industry and recent news affirms some traction. Texas-based Optical Systems makes customer relationship management (CRM) software for auto dealers. The company recently launched the latest version of its flagship product, Save-a-Deal 2010, which helps car dealers increase their profitability. At its core, Save-a-Deal helps dealers sell more cars while boosting per vehicle profits — all while reducing dealer costs. In other words, in what is one of the most margin-sensitive businesses around, many car dealers could potentially benefit from deploying software from Optical Systems.
There is one certainty about the car business and it is that dealers have to sell cars regardless of the economic climate. Compare that to traditional software where businesses and retail consumers often cut back on new technology purchases when the economy is weak and Optical Systems has that advantage compared to its larger software peers. Optical Systems' laser-like focus on car dealers works to the company's advantage and in turn, to the benefit of Optical System's pursuit of its own niche.

November 23 - New Auditing Feature in Save-a-Deal 2010 Designed to Protect Dealerships From Fraud and Theft

"The new FTA report in Save-a-Deal 2010 protects dealerships from fraud, theft, abuse, and waste," said B.J. Grisaffi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Optical Systems, Inc. "Our advanced data mining and security features create an impermeable, detailed audit of inventory and customers that lets dealerships know where fraud occurs, and prevent against any future occurrences."
Save-a-Deal is a comprehensive, fully-integrated front office software solution specifically designed to increase auto dealerships' profitability. When properly used, this scalable CRM system is guaranteed to increase unit sales and profit-per-vehicle, while lowering costs through enhanced efficiency. Save-a-Deal 2010 is a more streamlined, cost-effective CRM solution than its predecessor with added capabilities in remote personnel management, customer service, training, and security.
New features in Save-a-Deal 2010 include:
* Real-time access speeds with normal content loads of more than 200,000 database records from three different states with multiple, concurrent users.
* Added scalability from modular software architecture.
* Significant cost savings on installation and maintenance.
* Three levels of security to ensure protection of dealerships' sensitive data and information.
* More customization for electronic records management.
"Finance managers can't afford to have discrepancies in their reporting," said Grisaffi. "The FTA report is designed to provide finance managers with air-tight audits and unparalleled security."
