SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 24, 2002

Microsoft(R) Corporation recently named InfoGenesis a winner of the Retail Application Developer (RAD) Award. The RAD Award recognizes application software developers who make the best use of Microsoft technology to provide business benefits to customers in the retail and hospitality industries. InfoGenesis, a leading developer of hospitality technology products, won with its Revelation point-of-sale (POS) product in the category of "Best Use of .NET Technology."

"The RAD awards are focused on the business value that technology brings to the customer, and this year's winners created state-of-the-art applications," stated Tom Litchford, Director of Marketing, Retail and Hospitality for Microsoft. "A consistent theme was seen with solutions adopting the .NET vision, Web services, and XML technologies and architectures to provide interconnected business solutions that deliver actionable information on a multitude of smart devices to the right person, anytime, anywhere."

Revelation Universal Desktop from InfoGenesis was designed to take advantage of the .NET/Web Services revolution. Written to perform and operate like a traditional client/server application, and delivered as a native Internet Explorer application, the Universal Desktop requires no additional software -- making the user experience quick and efficient.

The Revelation Universal Desktop lets customers manage systems at a store, division, or enterprise level from anywhere in the world over any Internet connection. Not simply a web-based reporting tool, the Universal Desktop provides real-time access to the entire system for monitoring POS terminal status, reviewing sales, labor, and food cost figures, and managing configuration settings.

The key business impact of the Universal Desktop is its reduction of total cost of ownership. By eliminating traditional desktop applications and the corresponding installation and support costs, customers realize 30-40% application support cost reductions for desktop and virtual users.

"InfoGenesis is honored to be a Microsoft RAD winner for 2002. The success of our product is due in large part to the competitive advantage of using Microsoft technology and the exceptional skills of our development team," said Karl Willig, President and CEO of InfoGenesis. "This combination has allowed us to create the most powerful and feature-rich hospitality point-of-sale solution in the world today."

Based in Santa Barbara, California, InfoGenesis is a leading developer and marketer of point-of-sale systems for the hospitality and food service industries. InfoGenesis customers are located in 32 countries throughout the world and include Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Royal Caribbean International, Vail Resorts, Four Seasons Hotels, Mandalay Resort Group, Compass Group USA, JFK Airport and many others.
