This today...stock made decent move last week to .75/.90: (COMTEX) B: ADVANCED SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL INC B: ADVANCED SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL INC New York, New York, Mar. 08, 1999 (Market News Publishing via COMTEX) -- Advanced Systems International announced that its new Middleware product BasLink(tm) provides fundamental control of data collection, distribution and accessibility for a wide variety of automated data collection devices. It provides users with basic data collection terminal configuration, communications synchronization and terminal management functions for any ODBC- (Open Data Base Connectivity) compliant database as well as ASI's application suite. The flexible, field-proven product features a simple GUI (graphical user interface) developed for 32-bit Windows 95, 98 and NT Platforms. Advantages of BasLinkTM include: faster implementation, training and learning; minimal training needed to use sophisticated features; elimination of proprietary hardware constraints; tighter security through interface access control; and enables more accurate, reliable data collection, distribution and processing. Users of BasLinkTM can also upgrade at any time to ASI's more comprehensive data distribution and access (dda) solution for ERP systems, ATLink(tm). BasLinkTM allows end users to select the best type of data collection device for each area of their organization and then mix and match different terminal types. In each instance it provides for a configuration that best suits individual departmental or operational needs. Because the entire configuration is installed and supported by ASI, end users experience single source, turnkey convenience without proprietary terminal hardware constraints. BasLinkTM was developed using state-of-the-art C++ object oriented code and is ODBC compliant. Initially developed to accommodate the requirements of ASI's ATServer(r) time, attendance and labor management application, it will also collect and deliver transaction-based data to any ODBC compliant data base including Oracle, MS-SQLServer and Sybase SQL Anywhere. This is accomplished by way of a flexible set of stored procedures that allow changes in database calls to be made without having to recompile source code. BasLink(tm) can also communicate with several different databases simultaneously if several ODBC connects are required. Advanced Systems International is a leading supplier of time and attendance and labor allocation applications, as well as data distribution and access (dda) solutions for the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) environment. ASI's cost effective, comprehensive product offering includes the application software, hardware, implementation services and on-going support necessary for rapid deployment of enterprise-wide distributed processing. ASI markets its products through direct sales and in conjunction with strategic partners and Value-Added Resellers (VAR's). Key markets include packaged goods, pharmaceuticals, food processing and other manufacturing industries. -0- TEL: (248) 263-0000 Quentin Mai, Investor Relations TEL: (248) 263-0000 Quentin Mai, Investor Relation TOLL FREE: (888) 399-7000 WEBSITE: www.advsysintl.com E-MAIL: qmai@advsysintl.com ______________________________________ (c) Corporate Dissemination Services Inc.
