Versus Presents at Elixir Conference


LOS ANGELES, November 15, 2018 Versus Systems, Inc. (“Versus”) (CSE:VS)
(OTCQB:VRSSF) (FRANKFURT:BMVA) which has built its Winfinite platform on the Elixir
technology stack, expands its presence in the Elixir community, promoting the primary
programming language used to build its scalable in-game prizing platform. Versus
Systems’ Head of Engineering, Desmond Bowe, delivered a presentation on zerodowntime
deployment of Elixir applications at The Big Elixir conference in New Orleans
on November 11, 2018, and Versus will host the Los Angeles Elixir Meetup at Versus
Systems headquarters on Thursday, November 15, 2018.

“Our contributions to the Elixir community have been instrumental both in delivering
relevant technical content to interested programmers and in fostering community around
this remarkable technology,” said Desmond Bowe, head of engineering at Versus Systems
and member of the Erlang Software Foundation, which includes luminaries from
WhatsApp, Heroku, and Cisco. “Versus’ leadership in this area is attracting talented
candidates and communicating a success story around how Elixir gives us a strong
competitive advantage.”

The Elixir programming language that powers Versus’ Winfinite prizing platform is the next
generation of scalable, reliable, available technology that was first designed to promote
carrier grade services for telecommunications networks - the same type of highly available,
scalable systems that allowed WhatsApp to support the traffic of over 400 million global
users with fewer than 40 engineers. With the technology, originally developed by Ericsson
to run their high-traffic telecom switches, the Versus engineering team can build
performant systems with uptime guarantees rivalling those developed at a much greater
expense by much larger teams.

“Developing in Elixir was a necessary step for us because we know that the global gaming
market is enormous - and that it demands highly reliable systems to service the billion plus
gamers, and their tens of billions of gaming sessions worldwide,” said Matthew Pierce,
CEO of Versus Systems. “The Winfinite platform was designed to provide real-world prizes
to players and viewers of the world’s most popular games and interactive media. We
couldn’t do it without a world-class team employing the right technology
