(PR Wires) PRW: Superclick's Gateway Technology Selected by IBM for Hotel of
the Future Program


MONTREAL -- (MARKETWIRE) -- 09/23/09 --
Superclick, Inc. (OTCBB: SPCK), a technology leader in IP infrastructure
solutions to the hospitality industry, announced that its gateway has been
selected by IBM as a core technology for its Hotel of the Future program on
a worldwide basis and the deployment of InterContinental Hotel Group's Hotel
in a Box(TM) initiative.
A modern hotel is more than a marvel of architecture, design, decor and
comfort. It is also a sophisticated technological investment requiring the
most up-to-date IT systems for management, communications, security and
entertainment. The current method for acquiring the needed technologies is a
complex effort of discovering what is needed, finding reputable providers,
purchasing the correct solution components, putting them together and hoping
they work harmoniously, training staff, and supporting the solution with a
myriad of different phone numbers. It is like buying a car by selecting the
engine from one provider, the seats from another, the body from a third, and
hoping they all work together.
IBM's Hotel of the Future program allows hotel brand owners to secure a
broad suite of IBM-standardized IT services essential to providing
differentiated and world-class guest service and support, including property
management systems, telecommunications, high-speed Internet access and 24x7
customer support, call accounting, voice messaging and door lock systems.
IBM has selected technology partners for this program which can be most
effectively integrated into hotels in a cost-conscious manner. Hoteliers and
brand owners are left with the additional benefit of fewer technology vendor
contracts to manage, and the services a deployed and supported by a single
vendor, IBM.
Sandro Natale, Superclick's CEO, commented that, "Simplifying the technology
infrastructure development and management process is an important advance in
the industry and we are pleased to have been selected by IBM as the core
gateway technology for the IP infrastructure management of its Hotel of the
Future Program, as well as for the rollout in IHG's Hotel in a Box
initiative. This is a great validation of our efforts to deliver a superior
product with support to the hospitality marketplace."
According to Raul Arce, IBM's Vice President of Travel & Transportation, the
Hotel of the Future program will make hotel owners' lives easier and reduce
costs because they will require fewer technology consultants. Owners can
streamline their procurement, consolidate applications on a single server,
reduce personnel requirements and even power consumption. "We selected
Superclick's gateway for our Hotel of the Future program because it is truly
best-in-class providing greater network reliability, better IP
infrastructure management with the ability to reduce bottlenecks and
prioritize network traffic. The Internet gateway is a core and critical
piece of our technology solution to the hospitality industry and we think
Superclick is a great fit for us."
