XybernautÒ and Datanamics Integrate Mobile/Wearable Computers

 With Productivity Services for Hospitality and Travel/Leisure Sectors

 

   "Point of Task" Performance, Customer Service Improvements are Primary Focus

 

 

FAIRFAX, VA and LAS VEGAS, NV, June 20, 2002 -- XybernautÒ Corporation (Nasdaq: XYBR) and Datanamics, Inc. today announced an agreement under which Datanamics joins Team XybernautÔ as a value-added reseller. The firms will develop and deploy wearable computers and related services to business customers in the hospitality, entertainment, and travel/leisure industries.

 

The staff-operated, mobile/wearable computers speed the registration process by allowing pre-registered guests to check in, receive room assignments and electronic keys and proceed to their rooms from virtually anywhere on hotel grounds – without waiting at a normal hotel check-in counter.

 

Xybernaut wearable, mobile computers, configured with Datanamics software, are already being shipped to several customers, including lodging properties within major hotel chains.  Under the relationship, Datanamics will provide staging and shipment of equipment; configuration, integration and testing of equipment at joint customer sites; equipment support (maintenance and repair); software support and first-line technical support.

 

Both Xybernaut and Datanamics anticipate increased interest in integrated wearable computers from customers and prospects in a variety of global market sectors. 

 

Datanamics is a recognized market leader in Network and IT technology, high-speed Internet access, and laboratory testing, maintaining relationships with leading software developers and hardware manufacturers.  Hilton is among their more than 300 clients in the hospitality, gaming, and (MDU) industries.  

 

"Benefits from mobile/wearable computing are already being realized in the broad category of Field Force Automation across a wide variety of industry segments and Xybernaut is a recognized market leader," stated Kami Taylor, vice president for market development at Datanamics.  "Many of our customers are looking to Datanamics for guidance in effectively deploying these various IT solutions for maximum productivity gains and return on investment." 

 

Xybernaut and Datanamics have worked closely to integrate the Xybernaut Mobile AssistantÒ V (MAÒ V) mobile/wearable computers with Datanamics’ IT solutions, third-party software/technologies and customer services for field force automation in hospitality applications. 

 

"Whether performing patron registration/check-in, concierge, facility maintenance, point of sale transactions or critical customer services, Xybernaut and Datanamics are delivering integrated solutions to boost productivity and reduce costs for customers in hospitality and related market sectors," stated Edward G. Newman, chairman, president and CEO of Xybernaut.
