iSeatz Named As Finalist In 2009 CompTIA SoftwareCEO Software Innovation Awards

Company Recognized for its Proprietary iSeatz OneView© Platform

New Orleans, LA, June 3, 2009 - iSeatz, the global provider of customized online travel and entertainment solutions, today announced it has been named a finalist in the Most Innovative Service / Business Model category in The 2009 SoftwareCEO Software Innovation Awards. SoftwareCEO is a part of CompTIA, the Computing Technology Industry Association. For 25 years, CompTIA has served as the voice of the world's information technology industry.

iSeatz was selected for its success in developing and launching iSeatz OneView , it's proprietary transaction aggregation application. iSeatz OneView serves as the platform and foundation for each customized travel and entertainment solution that iSeatz creates.

“iSeatz OneView represents a sea of change in the way travel and loyalty program providers manage and integrate the necessary, yet desperate mass of service providers required to create a successful ancillary revenue initiative or loyalty platform. Because the platform fulfills a true need in the industry and delivers measurable increases in revenues as well as internal efficiencies, we've seen a significant demand for our solution," said Kenneth Purcell, Founder and CEO of iSeatz. "We're pleased to introduce a truly original solution that makes sense for our clients, and most importantly, enhances the overall travel and entertainment booking experience for their customers.”

iSeatz created iSeatz OneView to address a major need in the marketplace: prior to its introduction, each reservation - from airline tickets and car rentals to accommodations and restaurant bookings - had to be individually maintained by the respective service provider. This new platform enables:

- iSeatz clients to seamlessly aggregate and have visibility into their entire product suite and their customers' activity, plus the ability to synchronize a passenger's multiple reservations and cancellations in real-time
- Customers or passengers to easily manage all of the components of their trip, both on- and off-line

The SoftwareCEO Software Innovation Awards recognize industry's efforts and accomplishments in bringing innovative software products and new business models to market in eight different categories. Winners will be officially announced in an upcoming SoftwareCEO newsletter and awarded at an online award ceremony on June 18.
