Vericom Technologies Partners With deCarta to Increase Mapping Capabilities

COLUMBIA, MD -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Jul 29, 2008 -- Vericom Technologies®, a leading provider of Mobile Resource Management (MRM) solutions, today announced that it has partnered with deCarta, the award-winning and leading provider of advanced and comprehensive geospatial software platforms, to increase its mapping capabilities. Vericom's new advanced mapping capabilities will be launched to all customers later this summer in the company's new MRM solution offering, VeriVision MRM.

Vericom's web-based MRM solution has embedded deCarta's Drill Down Server® technology, providing customers with robust map rendering capabilities for more efficient tracking, routing, and management of remote vehicles, employees and assets. In addition to Vericom's strong reporting capabilities, new and enhanced features allow improved usability and increased customer efficiency, including:

--  Rich Internet Mapping and Tracking:
    Employing deCarta's high-performance geospatial software platform
    originally leveraged by Google and Yahoo Maps for their mapping
    capability, Vericom's maps are now second to none in the industry. All
    maps have the flexibility and visual layout users have come to expect
    from a tier-one mapping application. More visually intuitive and robust
    maps provide fleet managers and administrators with easily accessible
    information in a simple to use format, increasing productivity.

--  Directions and Routing:
    Vericom's new maps allow users to find the most efficient driving
    route, total distance, and total time between landmarked customer
    locations and vehicles/employees in the field. Enhanced routing
    decreases vehicles' time and distance traveled, reducing gas costs,
    increasing the life of vehicles and improving the CO2 footprint.

"Higher productivity and fuel cost-reduction initiatives are driving enterprise demand for more precise mobile resource management tools," said J. Kim Fennell, president and CEO of deCarta. "We're proud to be working closely with Vericom Technologies and providing the technology to further enhance the utility and efficiency of mapping for their customers."

"Vericom Technologies is excited to partner with deCarta, the leading map rendering company in this space. Their technology provides the rich feature set, innovation and scale that our customers require," stated Jeff Pierson, Director of Product Management of Vericom Technologies. "This partnership is a key milestone on our strategic roadmap and new VeriVision MRM offering, and shows our commitment to providing an easy-to-use, end-to-end, yet modular, platform that allows enterprise and SMB customers to more efficiently manage their remote resources, employees and work in the field."
