Address Updates Shareholders on Recent Events and Future Success in
the Homeland Security and Data Retention and Forensics Industries
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Intelligentias,
Inc. (OTC:ITLI) (BULLETIN BOARD: ITLI) and Retentia, Inc., its
wholly owned subsidiary, a recognized leader in the Homeland
Security Industry providing Data Retention, Tracking and
Investigatory Services for Telcos, ISPs and Law Enforcement
Agencies around the world, are pleased to reveal this year's
strategic vision for expansion and continued growth in the Homeland
Security marketplace. Ian Rice, CEO of Intelligentias made the
announcement on February 21, 2007 to senior management following
the news of the successful dual listing of the Company's shares on
the NASDAQ Over the Counter Bulletin Board in the United States and
the Frankfurt Exchange in Europe. "With our unique specialization,
leading edge technology and blue chip customer base, Intelligentias
now qualifies as one of the most dynamic and fastest growing
companies in the Homeland Security sector," began Rice. Rice went
on to summarize the 2007 growth plan under seven major strategy
areas. 1. Expansion of our external sales channel "Although we have
some exceptional sales channel partners now like Siemens, IBM and
others-we intend to significantly expand those relationships to
cover more geography with a special focus on the European Union,
South America and the United States. I believe that this approach
will be successful for us because it gets us more "feet on the
street" without adding a lot of additional costs and ultimately
gets our product in front of more potential customers. I believe
that this strategy will lead to a substantial increase in our top
line revenues," said Rice. 2. Sell a more complete solution
"Historically we only sold software, and left the time consuming
chore of sourcing the hardware to our customers. This approach led
to abandoned sales opportunities and significantly lengthened our
sales cycle. This year we intend to sell a more complete solution.
We will accomplish this by pre- sourcing the hardware for our
customers. This strategy gets us and our customers to the bottom
line a lot sooner in the sales cycle and I think that this new
approach will drive additional revenue growth," said Ian Rice. 3.
Outsource System integration Rice went on to say, "Historically we
did a lot of the system integration work ourselves. System
integration is resource intensive, slows our delivery cycle and the
margins aren't nearly as high as our software margins are, so in
the coming year I intend to phase out a lot of the in-house
integration work and push this business out to our external system
integrators. I think that this strategy will help us get a lot more
software out the door, a lot quicker than we have in the past. 4.
Extend our product line "This year we intend to launch two wholly
owned subsidiaries," Mr. Rice added, "Formerly, our software
primarily focused on Data Retention and Data Forensic solutions,
but the need for expansion into more diverse segments of the
Homeland Security Sector are now present. To meet these needs we
are forging ahead with the launch our Investigatia(TM) and
Interceptia(TM) subsidiaries." "Investigatia(TM) is a data
investigation company. Investigatia intends to focus on fraud,
identity theft, identity authentication and verification. Identity
theft is becoming the fastest-growing white collar crime in many
countries." "Interceptia(TM) is a lawful interception company.
Interceptia intends to focus on Legal Interception of
telecommunications by Law Enforcement Authorities (LEA's) and
intelligence services." 5. Grow through acquisitions On this
subject Mr. Rice said, "Intelligentias has identified a number of
well-positioned and profitable acquisition targets whose products
can work synergistically with ours, and in my opinion further
enhance our competitive edge in these markets." 6. Build Brand
Awareness "This year we are going to double our efforts to get the
word out about our Data Retention solutions. We are sponsoring
numerous conferences and events all over the world. My goal by the
end of the year is to make the names Intelligentias and Retentia
house hold names in the markets we serve," said Rice. 7. Engage in
Strategic Partnerships Mr. Rice went on to say, "We have some great
partnerships with companies like Oracle, Microstrategy, and SS8,
but in recent months, Intelligentias has identified a couple of
other key strategic partnership opportunities and we are working
now towards the completion of those alliances. I think that
partnering with entrenched leaders like those that we have
identified gives us a toe hold in certain markets that we otherwise
would not have been able to easily penetrate on our own. Management
is actively cultivating these alliances on three continents." Mr.
Rice concluded, "In the history of Intelligentias, we have never
been poised as we are now for superior growth. The EU Data
Retention Directive and CALEA compliance dates are fast
approaching, and our own Legislative bodies are on the threshold of
approving such laws for the United States. Intelligentias is
uniquely prepared to capitalize on these opportunities." Mr. Rice
closed the address with, "I think that we are about to see an
explosive growth in the demand for our software. We have
experienced management, great reference customers, with massive
installations already in place. These Strategic Visions which I
have outlined here today are our milestones for continued progress
and Company growth throughout this year into the next. Our business
model has been proven successful and is finely tuned to deliver
competitive advantages, improved margins, customer satisfaction and
ultimately, increased shareholder value. We plan to successfully
maintain and expand this standard of excellence." The financial
