CeroView wins L.A. Metro contract

May 19, 2005

IRVINE, Calif. - CeroView, provider of turnkey kiosk solutions, announced in a news release the awarding of a Coach Operator incident tracking kiosk system from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro).

CeroView will provide a total of 30 kiosks to Metro. The kiosks will be used as a way for Coach Operators to report any incidents during their shift. The system will use Neoware thin clients and communicate directly through Metro's Intranet.

"We have seen an increase in human resource-based applications," said Derek Fretheim, CeroView's president. "The real demand right now is for companies to capitalize on their corporate Intranet investments as a fully utilized communications tool. In the case of Metro, their coach operators, given the nature of the type of work they do for the organization, do not have access to a computer as part of their normal job function. With the kiosks, Metro is looking to bridge this gap and take better advantage of their Intranet investment."

Metro estimates that nearly 50 percent of its work force does not use a computer as part of an employee's job function.
