Viyya Technologies CEO Reports on Corporate Objectives for 2008
Wednesday March 19, 9:53 am ET
Third Letter Outlining Partners & Distribution From Viyya CEO John Bay
FAIRFIELD, NJ--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 19, 2008 -- Viyya Technologies, Inc. (Other OTC:VYON.PK - News), the developer and marketer of the world's most advanced web 2.0 based information management application, announced its third letter in a series to VYON shareholders. Mr. Bay will report on partners and distribution objectives for the 2008 fiscal year. The text of the letter follows:
ADVERTISEMENT
We are now entering into an extremely exciting time in Viyya Technologies' growth as a business. Thanks to the evolution of both the VIYYA and VIYYA Information Portal (VIP) product lines, we're positioned to capture market share in each of our desired markets.
Let's start in the ISP market. The convergence between broadband and wireless is upon us as these technologies have now hit critical mass in their consumer deployments with wireless usage at almost 80% of the US population. When this happens within a market, prices begin to fall and the core technology becomes a commodity.
We're seeing this happen with both technologies. Broadband pricing that was once $49.95 per month is now $19.95 and wireless is now $99.95 per month for unlimited calling in pricing plans published by most major carriers. Most ISPs will be searching for premium content services as additional sources of revenue. In fact, in 2007 almost 15% of carriers' revenue was generated by data services and the projections for 2008 show this number climbing steadily.
VIYYA has always been designed as a convergence product bringing together the Internet and wireless in a unique manner. And, as stated recently by a technology executive from a major carrier, "VIYYA is the ultimate content aggregation tool for the triple play." Need we say more about the technology!
We have capitalized on our positioning and have spent the past six months penetrating this market. Last fall, we signed a preliminary agreement with mPortal, a leading wireless application company that is already working with major carriers. We have expanded this penetration through the first quarter by including cell phone manufacturers as well. Discussions, meetings, presentations and demonstrations are quite elaborate with Fortune 100 companies. It may take months to progress in the sales cycle as products are redesigned and technologies need to be tested every step of the way. However, the rewards may be enormous with millions of users available to us in using the VIYYA applications!
The ISP and carrier markets are maturing to premium services here in the US while the Europe market is several years ahead of us. We expect to capture market share in the European arena with our new partner e-Viyya in Germany, headed by Dietmar Haas, former CIO of Hewlett Packard. Distribution will begin in Q2/08 with a kickoff slated for mid April.
On a global scale, VIYYA is now being reviewed by one of the world's top PC manufacturers as an add-on to their operating environment. Why? VIYYA gives the manufacturer the capability of turning a one-time license fee into continued recurring revenue.
While working on these major opportunities, we continue to work on distribution partners identified by markets from our earlier releases. They encompass financial services, campus security, education, associations, and content portal providers.
Our partners and distribution strategy for the VIP is just as exciting. The VIP platform is a rising star as shown by its success in the campus security markets with our subsidiary Virtual Ed Link, Inc. Similar distribution opportunities are available to us within construction management services with Helm Services Inc.; within the government markets with L. Robert Kimball and Associates; within the fire services with the National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM) and others. As 2008 progresses, we will be developing more partners for increased market penetration.
Please understand that these partnerships and distribution methodologies put a tremendous strain on the resources of a young organization in terms of manpower, development and capital. As shareholders you have been very patient with our efforts and we thank you. Our core competencies and technologies have brought us to meet with many Fortune 100 companies and it's your support and our determination that will make Viyya Technologies a leading premium services provider throughout the world.
Again, I appreciate all shareholders for understanding the significant work done within the area of product distribution this past year and the enormous opportunities that are in store for Viyya this coming year.
Thank you again for your continued support, loyalty and interest in our company.
Sincerely,
John Bay
President & Chief Executive Officer

UK upgrades system for emergency warnings
ALERTS TO GO OUT VIA CELLS, TEXT MESSAGE, E-MAIL, PAGERS
By Beverly Fortune
BFORTUNE@HERALD-LEADER.COM

Comments The University of Kentucky has a new emergency notification system that will allow students, university employees and others to receive warnings via text message, e-mail, cell phones, pagers and fax machines if there is an emergency on campus.
In a statement, the university urged students, employees and members of the public to sign up for the UK Alert system by going to www.uky.edu/UKAlert.
"UK Alert will complement and modernize our campus safety efforts, allowing us to better use technology to inform members of our camp's community during times of crisis," UK President Lee T. Todd Jr. said in a statement.
Security on campus, in Kentucky and other states, has gotten extra attention since the Virginia Tech shootings last April. Having a rapid notification system on campus is "clearly a new expectation on the part of students, of parents and staff," said Steven Healy, immediate past president of the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators.
There are 4,200 colleges and universities in the United States. "We are not anywhere near the saturation point" of such notification systems on campuses, said Healy, director of public safety at Princeton University, which purchased a system three weeks before the Virginia Tech incident. It has been used three times, Healy said, twice for bomb threats and, last week, for a major fire in a campus faculty housing project.
Christy Giles, director of the Office of Emergency Management at UK, said she had been looking at emergency notification systems for almost three years. "It was not because of Virginia Tech. We were looking way before that because it was another communication tool we wanted," she said.
UK's system will not be used except "when there is an immediate or potential threat to all or part of the campus community," she said. That can be a shooting on campus or catastrophic weather, such as a tornado. The system can also alert people in a specific building or section of campus if there is an emergency like a fire or hazardous-materials spill.
The high-speed notification system is one more way UK can quickly communicate with students, staff, faculty and the community in case of an emergency, Giles said. "We'll continue to use local TV and radio stations and e-mails through the UK system," she said.
UK will test the system once a semester to make sure it is functioning properly.
The university purchased the system from W.A.R.N. (Wide Area Rapid Notification) in Gallatin, Tenn. The installation cost was $30,000. Company president Don Griffis said his system can be integrated with classroom loud speakers, sirens or digital campus signs.
"We want to take a school's existing investment in emergency notification and make our system part of a unified response," he said.
He said W.A.R.N. could notify 10,000 people in 15 minutes using cell phones, text messages and e-mails, although factors such as time of day and phone volume could affect how quickly people are reached.
"If a system can reach 25 percent of the target audience in a critically unfolding event, human nature takes over," said Gary Margolis, police chief at the University of Vermont in Burlington. He was in Princeton, N.J., on Monday collaborating with Healy on a campus notification research project. "People will start calling and text messaging each other. But 25 percent is the tipping point."
The decision to send out an emergency alert on campus will be made by either the UK campus police or the Office of Emergency Management. The decision will not be made lightly, Giles said. A situation must pose "an immediate threat to their well being."
UK sophomore David Puthoff said the University of Akron, where he formerly was a student, had campus emergency notification.
"We had several bomb threats last semester and you knew exactly what was happening," said Puthoff. He received notices by text message.
UK sophomore Spencer Dillehay said he did not feel apprehensive about his safety on campus, but at Virginia Tech, "the loss of life could have been minimized with better notification. It would let people know if something was amiss."
