Easy Lobby Launches SVM 9.0 (Secure Visitor Management)

Company Advances its Leadership Position in Visitor Management and Photo ID Software

Needham, MA, May 1, 2006 – EasyLobby, the industry leader in secure visitor management and visitor badge solutions, today announced the latest version of its flagship product, EasyLobby SVMTM version 9. SVM stands for Secure Visitor Management, and the new version 9 represents a major upgrade to version 8, with numerous new features and enhancements.

Since 1997, thousands of organizations have replaced their outdated paper sign-in logs with EasyLobby. Instead of just capturing a visitor’s scribbled, unreadable name in a guest book, EasyLobby’s more secure visitor management and badge system electronically reads the visitor’s ID (drivers license, business card, or passport), and accurately captures all relevant information about them in a Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle database, including the name of the person being visited, the reason for the visit, entry and exit times, and the visitor’s photo and signature (both optional). In ten seconds or less, the visitor is professionally checked in and a high quality, customized visitor badge is printed in full color or black and white.

The new SVM 9 software adds critical new functionality to all of the award-winning features of EasyLobby’s previous versions:

• Scan licenses, passports and business cards quickly and automatically
• Print professional-looking, customized badges by visitor Category in full color
• Scalable from a single system, to a network of hundreds, using a Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle database (or MSDE for 6 or fewer networked stations)
• Enterprise-class, central administration, monitoring and reporting
• Scheduled employee list import from any database or Active Directory
• Multiple, programmable security alerts on screen and via email/SMS, including Watch List with automated online screening of government denied party and/or sex offender lists
• Enterprise-wide, web-based pre-registration system for employees
• Barcode scanning or proximity card reading for automated check in and check out, with support for multi-day badges
• Tight integration with 16 major access control systems, with new ones being added each month
• Feature rich and fully customizable Kiosk Mode for self-registration stations
• Track visitors, packages and assets from a single integrated application interface
• Easy to install, easy to learn, easy to use
• Also available in Spanish, French and German languages
  

"Given the rapid adoption that our SVM line of visitor management software has experienced since its launch in 2002 (resulting in record sales and profitability for the last 4 years), we are very excited to introduce the many new features and innovations included in the new version 9. EasyLobby is very fortunate to enjoy such a large and rapidly growing customer base with a broad range of operating environments from which new ideas continue to be generated. This helps us continue to lead the industry with advanced functionality that makes our products more powerful and effective for our customers and partners, yet easy to use." stated Howard Marson, EasyLobby’s CEO. "As more and more companies and organizations realize that the paper guest book sitting in their lobby does not provide sufficient or accurate information about who is in their building and why, we look forward to showing them how SVM 9 can improve their lobby security and visitor processing, enhance their image, and make their visitors and employees feel safer."

An unlimited number of workstations running EasyLobby SVM 9 can easily be networked over any LAN or WAN to share one or more visitor databases on Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or Microsoft MSDE.
