Business & High Tech Editors

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 13, 2000

AremisSoft Corporation (Nasdaq:AREM) a leading international supplier of enterprise-wide software and Internet-enabled solutions for the manufacturing, hospitality, healthcare and construction industries, today announced three contracts. Collectively, these developments demonstrate AremisSoft's commitment to delivering key next generation Internet technology, as well as support of existing customers and market presence.

AremisSoft awarded $100,000 contract using its new technology

AremisSoft has been awarded a $100,000 contract with Euro Hostels to install the AREMIS Web Booking Engine at a property in Glasgow, Scotland. The AREMIS solution is the first commercial implementation that enables a hotel to offer real time room availability over the Internet in a protected environment without custom programming. With the AremisSoft Web Booking Engine, hotels can support direct customer interaction with its property management system-based room inventory.

Mike Gadbury, Vice President of AremisSoft 's Hospitality, stated, "Utilizing the AREMIS Web Booking Engine and AREMIS Property Management System, hotel chains and consortiums are able to accept and automatically process on-line Internet reservations for multiple sites. We are pleased to be working with Euro Hostels as we build our name as a world market leader in providing e-commerce solutions."

The Glasgow Euro Hostels site is the first of what is planned by Euro Hostels to be a chain of upmarket hostels to fill the void between traditional youth hostels and budget hotels. Additional sites are planned for London, Edinburgh, York and Manchester, with AREMIS being installed into each of these properties. Designed to be able to link Euro Hostels "front end" web pages and the AREMIS Property Management System, the Web Booking Engine enables the automatic real time transfer of world-wide reservations without the need for duplication, directly into the AREMIS Property Management System.

Alex Stewart, Operations Director of Euro Hostels, commented, "Most hostel reservations are made via the Internet by students and backpackers on the go, rendering it essential that reservations are processed automatically and accurately on-line, regardless of time zones. We chose AremisSoft because it seamlessly meets the needs of our online clientele, is the only supplier with a fully integrated solution, and has the sophistication for handling a 386-bedroom hotel."

AremisSoft wins $450,000 contract to upgrade IT system

AremisSoft announced that Initial Style Conferences, the UK's leading provider of residential training and conference centers, selected AremisSoft's AREMIS solution to upgrade its IT Systems as part of its on-going commitment to quality customer service. The order is in excess of $450,000 and involves replacing the AremisSoft IGS HOTEL system with the latest up to date and flexible AREMIS Property Management and Central Reservations Systems.
