Dakis Humanized Expert and Fujitsu iPAD and TeamPad Combine to Optimize Mobile Computing Performance for Retailers

Montreal, QC, January 12, 2005 — Dakis Decision Systems Inc. (Dakis) announced today that it has successfully ported its award-winning software "The Dakis Humanized Expert" to Fujitsu's iPAD and TeamPad mobile platforms, creating powerful Fujitsu MobileReady solutions for wireless retailing.

"Fujitsu's versatile iPAD and TeamPad mobile computers are ideal platforms for the Dakis Humanized Expert," said Philippe Hugron, CEO of Dakis Inc., based in Montreal, Canada. "This is a powerful combination that will enable store associates to help make shopping easier for customers.

"Designed for wireless, networked applications, the Fujitsu iPAD and TeamPad are easy for mobile workers to learn because they support the familiar Windows CE environment, and their versatility makes them easily adaptable to a wide variety of uses. Fujitsu mobile platforms combined with the Dakis Humanized Expert offers retailers an unbeatable, optimized mobile solution."

According to IDC, a global industry research firm, handheld devices retain strong momentum, even though the U.S. economy has slowed. It estimates that worldwide shipments will increase at a compound annual growth rate of 39 percent from 13.6 million in 2000 to 70.9 million by 2005, with the U.S. market representing the largest opportunity for handheld device vendors.

Fujitsu's handheld devices wirelessly empower mobile workers to better serve their customers while connecting and sharing data. These lightweight, rugged devices give workers real-time access to corporate systems, in-store retail or a host of other applications.

"As a Fujitsu MobileReady Solution Provider, Dakis demonstrates that its Humanized Expert, combined with Fujitsu's handheld computers, is a powerful solution that's ready for work in the retail environment today," said Cathy Boss-Fessel, director of retail and channel marketing at Fujitsu.
