Long-Established Company Equips Sales Organization with Mobile
Smart Phones and SCO's Mobile Order (TM) Solution to Meet Customer
Needs LINDON, Utah, Aug 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The SCO Group,
Inc. ("SCO") (NASDAQ:SCOX), a leading provider of UNIX(R) software
technology and mobile services, today announced that George Delallo
Company has selected SCO's Mobile Order(TM) as the platform for
mobilizing its sales force order entry process on Palm(R) Treo(TM)
700wx (Windows Mobile(TM)) smart phones. Mobile Order is a hosted
solution that allows mobile access to back-end server inventory
information, pricing and other data from smart handheld devices.
ASK Technologies, a Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania-based SCO premier
solution provider, was selected by George Delallo Company to
streamline their order entry process using the SCO Mobile solution.
Mobile Order extends customers' existing home-grown or third party
inventory and order entry solutions on mobile phones using patented
mobile technology from SCO. SCO can easily and seamlessly enable
existing applications with minimal effort onto a variety of mobile
phones including Windows Mobile(R), Palm(R) OS, or Java(R) smart
phones. Customers are able to save time and money by avoiding the
rewriting of applications to support a mobile platform. Mobile
Order increases the effectiveness of sales forces by reducing
errors often found in a manual, paper-based order-entry solution.
Using Mobile Order, sales forces can provide faster order
processing, enabling sales representatives to visit more clients
per day. This results in cost savings of thousands of dollars per
month in customer service and order processing overhead. George
Delallo Company, an Italian food distributor located in Jeannette,
Pennsylvania, offers a complete line of domestic, imported and
organic Italian foods. The company was founded in 1950 with a
commitment to authenticity, consistency, innovation and quality in
all areas of the Italian foods industry-from the field to the
family table. George Delallo Company is the number one importer of
olives in the U.S. and offers the concept of a "store within a
store" to retailers such as Target Corporation, Wal-Mart &
other national super market chains. "While the George Delallo
Company has been around for more than 57 years, we are always
looking for new ways to operate more efficiently in all aspects of
our business, including the ability to serve our customers faster,"
said T.J. Hoffner, director of sales, George Delallo Company. "We
chose ASK Technologies to provide a solution to improve our
order-entry process and they identified SCO's Mobile Order solution
which offered rapid development to get us up and running quickly
while being very cost-effective. Our inventory changes often. Our
sales reps can be instantly notified of pricing changes, specials,
new food items and inventory availability while in the field. Our
sales reps have come to rely on cumbersome notebook computers and
hand held scanners. So, integrating Mobile Order onto a Treo 700wx
smart phone with a built in bar code scanner was a progression that
required minimal training." ASK Technologies is a nationwide
provider of cutting-edge, practical business solutions. ASK
specializes in providing the ability to transform current
technology into productivity for every business they serve, from
startups to Fortune 500 companies. "We chose the highly innovative
SCO Mobile Order technology because it provides a complete
end-to-end mobile solution for our clients," said Stephen Pirolli,
managing partner, ASK Technologies. "Using their experience with
Mobile Order, SCO was able to mobilize our customer's existing
application in a minimal amount of time. Customers are able to
quickly upload their product inventory of thousands of items and
make them accessible on handheld devices. SCO's Mobile Order
simplifies the order entry process and helps ASK customers expedite
orders quickly and accurately using a variety of mobile smart
phones." "The retail market, where SCO has traditionally been
strong, has high growth potential for products like SCO's Mobile
Order," said Sandy Gupta, general manager and chief technology
officer, The SCO Group. "SCO has a long established presence and
experience in this industry and is very familiar with the needs and
demands of the retail market. The partnerships we have with
vertical solution providers and system integrators, including ASK
Technologies, allows us to work together and provide customers with
the new mobile solutions they require." "ASK is a valued SCO
partner and they continue to build an impressive client list and
mobile practice based on SCO's Mobile Order technology," said Darl
McBride, president and CEO, The SCO Group. "Mobile Order provides a
secure and easy-to-use mobile experience for sales reps on the go.

customer meeting knowing that their order is already being
processed." Availability and Pricing SCO's Mobile Order(TM) is
