PRESS RELEASE

Working Solutions announces a New Rapid Kiosk Development System
that will CHANGE the Kiosk Experience!

26 January, 2005 -  Historically, kiosk users have typically had to make do with simple website driven content or unstable applications running on the kiosks they use and the developers and content makers have had to learn complex programs to create their technologies. Now there is Working Solutions' new rapid kiosk development system, Acquire!

Acquire has been used in-house for over 4 years by Working Solutions and has recently been redeveloped so that any developer can make a kiosk application in as little as a matter of hours or even minutes!

All the content you make can be exciting, full screen and high-quality rather than being just another 'website-in-a-box', as it is all locally served and presented through Acquire's reliable player program. Rather than being limited to 'postage stamp' sized content or waiting for media to load, Acquire lets you create exciting, media rich presentations using BMPs, JPEGs, PNGs, FLASH movies, Full-screen Video (MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, AVI, Quicktime, etc) plus many more. And just like building a website, you don't have to just limit yourself to one piece of media per page.

To extend the features and functionality of Acquire still further, a number of plug-ins are available which allow Acquire to communicate with other technologies. For example, a secure web-browser with on-screen keyboard and pay-per-use access can be built within minutes. All this is included just as a small part of Acquire.

Acquire manages the distribution of the content to all you remote kiosks either through manual deployments or to networked kiosks using our secure PLUS network. Of course Acquire also integrates with Working Solution's existing Kioskmonitor solution to provide an instant view of the staus of your machines, and provide remote monitoring and maintenance if required.

To check on your ROI, Acquire also includes a number of reporting functions and all the logged information can be used to check on usage statistics, dwell times and other useful information.

With a large existing installed base of blue Blue-Chip companies, Acquire has been thoroughly tested and approved by the most stringent of clients with a diverse range of uses. Directions around shopping malls and hospitals, live share dealing though a secure browser, selling mobile phone services and ringtones, and instore advertising in retail stores on plasma screens - all this and more is being done with Acquire NOW!

      Quotes from people who have tried Acquire:

                  "I have not seen a product which lets you develop your kiosk solution so rapidly,
                   yet be so flexible and fast in what it does." - Paul Grigg, Elo Touchsystems, UK

                  "Amazing. It is so simple to use and the fact that the program is already written and
                   tested means that I can concentrate on what the kiosk does rather than how it does it!"
                    - Lars Rosendahl Concept Kiosk, Denmark

Working Solutions' experience of over 13 years means they are the preferred choice for many companies investigating computer interactivity and kiosks as solution. Neil Farr, Managing Director says "We are once again strengthening our portfolio of products. This time, we are helping other companies profit from our experience and technologies to create more interesting and useful kiosks that previously would have been custom made, taken months to make and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. With our technology, they can be reliable, developed in weeks or days and be cost-effective for any number of units, be it one or a thousand kiosks."
