Company to Host Partner Conference Promoting Collaboration Among Healthcare Providers, Independent Software Vendors, Value Added Resellers, and Real-Time Location Technology Providers

FARGO, ND--(Marketwire - October 22, 2009) - Intelligent InSites Inc., the leading provider of real-time enterprise visibility and automation solutions that dramatically improve healthcare efficiency and patient safety, announced the inaugural Intelligent InSites Partner Summit will be held October 27-28 in Fargo, ND.

For the event, Intelligent InSites is bringing together the leading software, service, and technology companies that provide real-time locating and sensing solutions. Together with the company's own InSites Enterprise Visibility Platform (InSites Platform), they provide the most comprehensive enterprise solution for workflow, patient and staff safety, and asset management for hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and assisted living facilities.

During the event, Intelligent InSites will share vision, strategies, and new programs geared at accelerating the adoption of RTLS technologies throughout the healthcare industry. Several announcements related to partner programs, upcoming product features and enhancements, and a new best practices methodology and toolset will also be announced at the Intelligent InSites Partner Summit.

Several leading healthcare software providers planning to attend the event, including Accu-Tech, API Healthcare, Four Rivers, and West-Com, have embraced the vision of enhancing their solutions by using real-time location and sensory data. With this data, which is automatically collected and processed by the InSites Platform, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) are able to further increase the value provided to their clients.

"The InSites Platform becomes the de facto standard for integrating and consuming the location and sensory data, allowing ISVs to rapidly extend their offering by adding RTLS functionality without the need to tie up their R&D resources. It is an amazing value proposition that allows ISVs to differentiate themselves in a highly competitive market," explains Jim Traynor, Director of ISV/OEM Partnerships at Intelligent InSites.

"The two-day Partner Summit creates a unique opportunity for Intelligent InSites' Value Added Resellers to meet the leading RTLS technology providers, interact with industry analysts, and gain insights from healthcare organizations on accelerating the adoption of RTLS systems," said Marcus Ruark, Director of Business Development for Intelligent InSites. "In addition, they will be provided with valuable sales and marketing resources -- one of many benefits of joining the Intelligent InSites VAR channel program."

Some of the global channel partners who plan to attend the event include: CMD Healthcare, Johnson Controls, Momentum Healthware, Protection Systems, Skytron, and TPC Healthcare.

"Over the past few years, we've been fortunate to meet and collaborate with several stellar companies that are now a part of our ecosystem and whom we are privileged to now call our partners," said Mark Rheault, President and CEO of Intelligent InSites. "This ecosystem has helped us experience some wonderful growth and success during that time. I believe there is great value in having our partners come together and network so that we may jointly deliver the best solutions to the industry and, in turn, enjoy greater success for all of our businesses."

The Intelligent InSites Partner Summit features a keynote address on Developing a Successful Partner Ecosystem, delivered by Doug Burgum -- former Senior VP, Microsoft and current Chairman of Arthur Ventures; and a keynote lunch presented by Vi Shaffer, Research Vice President at Gartner, entitled Technology-Driven Healthcare Transformation.

In addition, the event showcases the latest advancements and product offerings from the technology leaders in RTLS and wireless sensor networks, including: Awarepoint, CenTrak, Ekahau, and Sonitor. Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear about the innovative plans and ideas from representatives of several visionary hospitals, including Texas Health Resources and Spectrum Health, and senior care providers such as Bethany Homes and Eventide Senior Living Communities.
