California Overnight Deploys Countermind's Mobile Intelligence(TM) Pro

LITTLETON, Colo., March 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Countermind, LLC today announced that California Overnight, a regional overnight package delivery company, is now deploying Countermind's Mobile Intelligence(TM) product software on the Symbol MC9000 Windows CE.NET mobile computing solution. After successfully field testing and optimizing their work processes over the past nine months, California Overnight has now begun their full production roll-out of this wireless Proof-of-Delivery Application to their 1,000 drivers, which they expect to complete in less than six months.

"We've selected Countermind because the solution met our current application requirements, and allows us to easily deploy additional mobile applications to different user communities in the second-half of 2005," said Tim Elder, IT Manager and Project Manager for the Next Generation Driver Delivery Project at California Overnight. "In addition to mobility as a supportive technology for our business, it's critical that it can be quickly adopted by our drivers. Countermind's products on the Symbol handheld helped us achieve high user adoption with easy-to-use features that improve productivity."

California Overnight's customers have come to expect reliable and timely delivery services at a competitive price. Countermind's Mobile Intelligence products give California Overnight the flexibility, and scalability necessary to support their business processes with highly intuitive mobile applications. The Proof-of-Delivery Application from Countermind running on the Symbol handheld has been readily adopted by California Overnight's drivers and provides higher performance and more functionality than the company's legacy DOS-based package tracking software application, which is being retired. The new mobile solution, based on Countermind's Mobile Intelligence(TM) products, runs on the Sprint nationwide PCS network and supports a wide range of current devices and networks so California Overnight can take advantage of the cost savings associated with those new technologies.

Added Randy Bryson, vice president of indirect sales, Sprint Business solutions, "Working with innovative companies like Countermind is critical to Sprint's focus on providing a comprehensive portfolio of mobile solutions and meeting the specific needs of businesses like California Overnight."

Countermind's Mobile Intelligence(TM) (MI) products offer any organization with proof of delivery or route management requirements the ability to dramatically improve the work processes of field-based delivery personnel through automated dispatch and tailored data capture applications. Countermind's production proven platform provides the flexibility and scalability essential for any mobile strategy that is aimed at maximizing technical investments, reducing expenses, and generating new revenue.

"The overnight package delivery business space is extremely competitive," said Tom Smith, President and General Manager of Countermind. "Our Mobile Intelligence products offer a great way for regional package delivery companies to gain a competitive advantage by having access to a mobile architecture that offers many of the capabilities used by their larger competitors, all for a fraction of the price and time. It also gives them an advantage 2 or 3 years from now, because they haven't been boxed into a rigid custom-coded solution or a vendor that is too tightly coupled to specific devices or networks."

"Countermind's mobile solution is going to help companies like California Overnight improve productivity, reduce costs, and increase their competitiveness," said Gerald McNerney, Director of Transportation Solutions, Symbol Technologies, Inc. "We are excited to be working along side independent software vendors (ISV) partners like Countermind to help our customers realize the benefits of enterprise mobility."

"We are pleased that Countermind's MI solutions were selected by California Overnight," said Julie Wymetalek, manager of the Mobility Partner Advisory Council at Microsoft Corp. "As a Mobility Partner Advisory Council member, Countermind's experience in enterprise mobile solutions and utilization of the familiar and flexible Windows Mobile-based platform allows it to create innovative solutions and be active in new market opportunities."

The Proof-of-Delivery Application for California Overnight uses Countermind's Mobile Intelligence(TM) Platform .NET Edition 3.0, the Sprint PCS Wireless Network, and Symbol MC-9000 handhelds built on Windows Mobile-based operating systems.

Countermind's Mobile Intelligence(TM) products have been deployed worldwide. For additional information on customers, partners, and applications, please see contact information listed below.
