VCG is a leading developer of information management systems for the staffing industry.



VCG's products include:

(1) TempWare-V® provides an integrated information management system for both front office operations and payrolling and billing. TempWare-V is based on the enterprise-critical performance capabilities of Compaq's Alpha-processor servers and its OpenVMS operating system. VCG's TempWare-V Desktop and Desktop Pro provide PC networked client access to this robust system. New "eTools" XML-based interfaces enable real-time integration of various aspects of the TempWare-V application with the client's web-site.

(2) StaffSuite® offers integrated staffing front office, payrolling, billing, and reporting based on a sophisticated Windows-based, multi-tier computing architecture designed for reliability, scalability, and future expandability. It is a superbly efficient tactical tool for daily operations, and a strategic tool for management analysis for any size staffing firm. As with TempWare-V, new "eTools" XML-based interfaces enable real-time integration of various aspects of the StaffSuite application with the client's web-site.

For the latest release of TempWare-V and StaffSuite, VCG wanted to add top-notch text retrieval. For TempWare-V, the text retrieval had to work in connection with the TempWare-V Desktop. This PC client-side application complements TempWare-V, providing a seamless interface to TempWare-V. For StaffSuite, the text retrieval had to work within StaffSuite's three-tier client-server architecture. Further, the text retrieval had to work with StaffSuite's object-oriented programming design and distributed object technology.

For these applications, VCG chose the dtSearch Text Retrieval Engine. "dtSearch Text Retrieval Engine provided the fast, effective, and comprehensive text search capabilities we were looking for," said Phil McCutchen, Marketing Manager for VCG. "In addition, it was a relatively simple task to integrate the product with both TempWare-V and StaffSuite. We believe our customers will benefit greatly from the ease of use and power of dtSearch when used in conjunction with TempWare-V or StaffSuite."

"We are delighted to be working with a company of VCG's stature in the staffing industry," said Kate Tretter, Vice President of Marketing for dtSearch Corp. "We had a number of mutual customers who had requested some type of integration between TempWare-V and StaffSuite on the one hand, and dtSearch on the other. We feel that VCG's use of the dtSearch Text Retrieval Engine will benefit all of our customers."
