SANTA BARBARA, Calif., July 16, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- ROAMING MESSENGER(tm) (OTCBB:RMSG) today announced a development agreement with Applied Reasoning Systems Corporation, a software technology solutions company based in Overland Park, Kansas.
Applied Reasoning, founded in 1991, is a leading developer of large-scale Internet applications and messaging solutions for Fortune 2000 enterprises, including both wired and wireless carriers. With a recent focus on marketing their solutions to the homeland security sector, Applied Reasoning was looking for next-generation technologies to incorporate into their leading-edge solutions that could be deployed today. When Applied Reasoning evaluated ROAMING MESSENGER, the benefits to a variety of sophisticated messaging applications were obvious. The agreement between the companies is designed to speed the deployment of the ROAMING MESSENGER product and technology into enterprise, wireless carrier, and homeland defense applications.
With this agreement, ROAMING MESSENGER gains another experienced partner who is already selling into the company's target markets. This agreement continues the expansion of the company's key channel partners, and further validates its distribution strategy. Specifically, ROAMING MESSENGER will be integrated into Applied Reasoning's client offerings.
"We've evaluated a lot of interesting technologies over the years. We rank ROAMING MESSENGER as one of the most innovative we've seen in quite a while. We see immediate application in the Homeland Security projects we are working on, especially for real-time notification in the areas of critical infrastructure security and emergency response," said Dr. Scott Bublin, CEO of Applied Reasoning. "ROAMING MESSENGER's underlying mobile data agent technology also provides us with some great advantages in developing other wireless carrier offerings for consumers. We are very excited to be an early partner of ROAMING MESSENGER. They have assembled a very impressive group of people with some very unique technology. We look forward to seeing their success as their products are deployed in the marketplace."
"When a group of seasoned executives with technical Ph.D.s from Purdue University get excited about your product, you get instant reinforcement that your company is on to something big," said Jon Lei, CEO of ROAMING MESSENGER. "We are very impressed with Applied Reasoning and the monumental accomplishments they have achieved, especially with their work in the massive high-performance data infrastructures of such firms as Bank One, First USA, Sprint, and Sprint PCS. We look forward to working with Scott and his team in rolling out ROAMING MESSENGER solutions for their clients."
