TALLY SYSTEMS PATENTS SOFTWARE INVENTORYING TECHNOLOGY

Hanover, NH-January 15, 1996-United States Patent No. 5,440,738 was
recently awarded to Tally Systems for its proprietary software
inventorying technology. Tally Systems invented Census Recognition
Technology (automatic inventory of PC hardware and software) and first
applied the now patented technology in PC Census NetCensus continues to
utilize the same technology. 

"When we began demonstrating automatic software inventory, it was like
showing a magic trick. People couldn't believe that you could accurately
detect all applications installed on a PC or server without manually
sifting through directories," said Ted Jastrzembski, President of Tally
Systems. "Now automatic inventory is a mainstream, mission critical
application." 

"Inventory products that provide reliable, accurate baselines of desktop
asset data are few and far between," said Chris Germann, Senior Analyst at
the Gartner Group. "Product developers that partner with service providers
and make technology accessible through larger systems are well positioned
in the desktop asset management market." 

To date, over 2,000,000 PCs located in companies around the world have been
inventoried, and continue to be inventoried, with Census Recognition
Technology. "We use NetCensus to inventory hundreds of PCs here at Central
Vermont Public Services," said Tracy Adams, Manager of Computer Services.
"The inventory data provides us with an accurate picture of hardware and
software assets installed throughout the enterprise and allows us to
effectively deploy other desktop asset management solutions like license
metering and electronic software distribution." 

NetCensus and Census Recognition Technology adaptations are also the
technical bases of many strategic associations including OEM deals and
alliance partnerships with 

Seimens-Nixdorf, Hitatchi Data Systems, bundling and technical partnerships
with help desk vendors (Bendata, Vycor, Workgroup Systems, Magic
Solutions, Top of Mind) and financial asset management (Apsylog, ASI), and
Integrator Partnerships with companies like IBM CS Systems, Vanstar, ISSC,
Infolink, Olivetti and Unisys. 

NetCensus is available as a stand-alone application or as part of Cenergy,
a best of class, desktop asset management suite that includes CentaMeter
(software license metering and monitoring) and WinINSTALL (automatic
software distribution).
