Monday March 22, 7:59 am Eastern Time Company Press Release ASI and CMI Form Strategic Alliance SOUTHFIELD, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 22, 1999--Advanced Systems International (OTC BB:ADSN) (ASI) and Control Module Inc. (CMI) of Enfield,Conn., have announced a strategic alliance to cooperate in the development of advanced, rapidly deployable time, attendance and labor allocation systems based on ASI's ATServer(r) software and CMI's flexible SaveTime(r) series 2000 modular data collection terminals. Howard Tarnoff, ASI's vice president of sales and marketing, said: ''ATServer(r) is a state-of-the-art time and attendance and labor allocation application designed for unparalleled ease-of-use, functionality and flexibility. The system was developed using industry-standard modules to accommodate the widest range of existing data processing environments. It dramatically improves labor management and payroll processing with the flexibility of a true Client/Server solution. ''With ATServer(r) real-time data is captured and stored in the system based on a library of stored procedures. Each procedure is a small, reusable evaluation and decision program. This approach permits faster configuration and consistent supportability across numerous upgrade releases. CMI's modular data collection terminal products are an ideal complement to this approach, which provides customers with both fast deployment and lowest overall life cycle costs.'' Jimmy Bianco, vice president of sales and marketing of CMI, said: ''Our 30-year-old company supplies modular data collection terminals primarily to Fortune 1000 companies. Based on a modular processor design, our terminals can be provided in a wide range of configurations by plugging in standard, compatible, snap-on components including displays, keyboards, readers (including Biometrics), modems, Ethernet/Tokenring modules, etc. ''This allows VARs to furnish any terminal system configuration from modules kept in inventory and end users a migration path to the future. ''Like ASI, we help the end user shorten the implementation cycle and reduce system maintenance costs. For example, in addition to interchangeable modular components,the SaveTime terminals have Flash Memory, which makes it possible to upgrade operating systems on the fly without having to swap out firmware. biz.yahoo.com W
