Today at the opening of the ICCFA 2011 Convention & Exposition in Las Vegas, Tributes, Inc., the online resource for local and national obituary news, announced that they have formed a partnership with SRS Computing, the industry leader in funeral and cemetery software since 1999. The two companies have jointly developed a new obituary module that can be activated by SRS clients to Procession which, when enabled, will automatically feed information gathered in the arrangement conference directly to Tributes.com. Tributes will leverage SRS client data to programmatically generate customized obituary listings, branded with the funeral home logo and contact information, for immediate publication on Tributes.com and across the Tributes Network of media partners.
“At SRS we strive to provide our clients with powerful software solutions that streamline their operations and enable them to provide highly personalized customer service,? said Scott Simons, President and Founder, SRS Computing. ?We believe in giving your data velocity and making it work for you. By automatically completing the important task of posting the obituary, we improve efficiency by taking work off of your plate while improving the service you provide to your families! We enthusiastically welcome Tributes as an SRS partner.?
?Aligning ourselves with leading companies across funeral service has been a key component of our business strategy as we work to build a unifying obituary distribution platform that serves the industry and consumers worldwide to simplify the publication of and access to obituary news,? said Elaine Haney, President of Tributes, Inc. ?We are very pleased to be adding SRS Computing to our prestigious list of industry partners who are helping make the Tributes platform available to more funeral homes across the U.S.?
