Vancouver Community College Purchases ALYA System
Palo Alto, Calif. - February 13, 1998 - ALYA International, Inc. has
received a purchase order from the Vancouver Community College for a
new security management system for the King Edward Campus and also to
upgrade the system at the City Centre Campus. This will allow the
Vancouver Community College to centralize their campus-wide security
needs into one location. One of the system's selling features is that
it is modular, allowing for simple expansion to the remaining portions
of the campus at a future date. The ALYA O.P.E.N.centrix(TM) Security
Management System rides upon a customer's present network reducing
costs for the implementation of a communication infrastructure.
ALYA will additionally benefit from this installation by having a
reference site close to our research and development facility in
Vancouver, British Columbia. Prospective customers and distributors
will be able to visit ALYA and the Community College to see the
Company's system in operation. Similarity, ALYA's installation at the
Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (a crown corporation) has
recently been written up for a trade magazine (Consulting Specifying
Engineer, appearing in March) as one of the first LonWorks functioning
buildings in the world, and numerous trade and industry executives and
interested customers have come to Vancouver to visit this site.
One of the customer groups that ALYA and its distributors are
targeting for sales of its security management system is Universities
and for other campus-type applications. The installation at Vancouver
Community College will provide verification and credibility of ALYA's
capabilities.
ALYA International, Inc. (OTC/BB Symbol: ALYA) is a leader in software
design using Microsoft's(R) Windows NT(R), Echelon's(R) LonWorks(R)

process control applications. ALYA has utilized this platform in the
design of its second product O.P.E.N.centrix(TM), an application for
Security Systems and Building Access. LonWorks technology is a de

industries providing a new standard for open architecture and
