BREAKING NEWS – STADIS© Pricing Options Expand in 2010
Jan 22nd
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 22, 2010
NEW STADIS© PRICING ALTERNATIVES
Aston, Pennsylvania (January 22, 2010) – International Micro Systems, Inc. (IMS), the Aston based, premier implementer of Value Added Ticketing systems today announces new pricing alternatives that allow STADIS© customers to license its products using multiple forms of the “Software as a Service” (SaaS) model, or zero capital expenditure (CAPEX) options for implementing STADIS©.
“IMS is the clear leader in the sports market, but with our economy’s broad slowdown, many sports, leisure, and entertainment companies are increasingly bearish about their short-term ability to invest,” said IMS President, Jim Shrader. “Many venues have expressed interest in investing in our STADIS© platform, but see the upfront CAPEX hit as a reason to postpone the decision. Today we are extending our normal upfront software licensing option to include new offerings that include “per ticket” fees or a “shared benefit model”. This will allow venues to pay for STADIS© as they begin to realize actual benefits. We will take our repeatable ROI and provide new low/no risk options that will open up STADIS© to new venues and create significant value for venues, teams, sponsors, and of course, the fan.”

Announcement – Retail Pro Reveals Major Plans For Greater Flexibility, Improved TCO And Real-time Processing Through The Launch Of ‘Aruba’ At NRF
Jan 11th
*International Micro Systems (IMS) as a Retail Pro Partner would like to pass along the latest Press release from Retail Pro.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11 /PRNewswire/ — Retail Pro achieved a major milestone today launching phase 1 of project “Aruba” at the National Retailers Federation conference. “Aruba” is the internal project name that demonstrates Retail Pro’s serious commitment to delivering products that are flexible to fit the unique needs of today’s retailers while also lowering total cost of ownership as Aruba was designed to work within the current hardware and infrastructure of today’s retailers.
“We are extremely excited about project Aruba on a number of different levels,” said Retail Pro CEO, Kerry Lemos. “Aruba marks a collaborative effort with our Customer and Partner Advisory Groups that provided essential input on current customer needs. Our customers were looking for a solution that can immediately meet their unique business needs and processes while improving total cost of ownership (TCO). Through thin-client architecture that runs on a centralized, organizational structure, Aruba delivers on those needs.”
Project Aruba marks the first step toward the next generation of Retail Pro software. The first release, scheduled to be completed later this year, calls for a thin-client architecture that can be easily deployed with reduced hardware or infrastructure requirements that can be seamlessly integrated with existing versions of Retail Pro. The ultimate vision provides the power of choice for customers by creating a solution that can be deployed either on-premise or in the cloud via SaaS deployment to deliver what customers want: ease of use, reduced acquisition and maintenance costs, faster deployment and real-time data.
Lemos ended by saying, “At Retail Pro we are serious about delivering on our customers’ needs and are committed to providing the best technology to our thousands of domestic and multinational customers. Aruba demonstrates that we are on track and poised for a very successful 2010. We couldn’t ask for a better way to bring in the New Year.”

Announcement – The Pedowitz Group and IMS Form Strategic Partnership
Jul 21st
ATLANTA, GA, Jul 21 (MARKET WIRE) —
The Pedowitz Group, the world’s largest and most experienced provider of marketing automation services that help marketers plan, attract and grow revenue, today announced a strategic partnership with International Micro Systems, Inc. (IMS), the inventor and industry’s largest and most experienced provider of Event Revenue Optimization and Value Added Ticketing systems.
The combined partnership will offer innovative ticketing and marketing solutions for sports and entertainment clients, transforming the way that fans are engaged and communicated with. Additionally, it will revolutionize the packaging of sponsorship programs, allowing teams, stadiums, and arenas to offer more versatile packages and increase revenue while providing sponsors with a greater return on investment.
Value Added Ticketing enhances the fan experience while giving venues the ability to increase revenue. It’s a convenient way for patrons to pay for admission, concessions, merchandise, parking, and tickets for future games — all with the same ticket.
STADIS software from IMS integrates ticketing with concession, merchandise, and parking point of sale systems to enable cashless transactions. When purchasing a ticket, the venue/team/sponsor may bundle value or the buyer has the option to add additional value onto the ticket for use inside the facility. The patron can then redeem the ticket’s stored value by presenting it for parking, concessions, merchandise, or tickets to a future event. The barcode on the ticket is scanned by the point-of-sale system for redemption. Aside from the convenience to the ticket buyer, the venue benefits from selling the admission ticket and stored value, in advance, as a package in a single transaction.
The SWEET software platform from The Pedowitz Group offers interactive SMS messaging, full social media integration with Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, and marketing automation. The platform will allow venues and teams to offer innovative in-event promotions that immediately add value to a ticket, increase fan engagement, drive more per cap revenue and boost sponsorship sales. Sponsors for the first time will be able to receive specific responses to their advertisements and quantify their investment in actual redemption, not just impressions.
"We are very excited to partner with IMS," said Jeff Pedowitz, President and CEO of The Pedowitz Group. "The IMS STADIS platform allows us to expand our footprint in the sports and entertainment vertical. Our combined offering is unlike anything this industry has ever seen, and it will provide significant value for venues, teams, sponsors, and of course, the fan."
"This is a very important partnership for us," said Jim Shrader, President and CEO of IMS. "For several years we have helped multiple venues and teams increase value through Event Revenue Optimization. Combined with marketing services, we can now offer sports and entertainment clients a true 360 degree approach to increasing revenue and fan engagement."
