SYS Technologies Announces $1.0M in Web Development Contract Awards

SAN DIEGO--May 17, 2006--SYS Technologies (AMEX:SYS), a leading provider of information connectivity solutions that enable real-time, complex decision-making, announced that they have been awarded two commercial contracts totaling $1 million. Pratt & Whitney, a United Technologies Company, has provided a one-year contract for the development, deployment and maintenance of the company's enterprise-wide environment, health and safety (EHS) software solution, EHSdesk. Volkswagen of America, Inc. has awarded a one-year contract to develop and maintain an intranet site, vwwebsource, for dealership sales, service and parts personnel.

EHSdesk is a comprehensive, integrated suite of software modules designed to support operational and business process information associated with EHS management. SYS work under this project includes enhancement and development to the enterprise use and functionality of the EHSdesk software, software deployment and training to both domestic and international Pratt & Whitney sites, and ongoing maintenance and support of the EHSdesk software product.

Volkswagen's vwwebsource is a central reference site that provides extensive, up-to-date information on current vehicle models and archives of information on previous models for access by dealership personnel throughout the United States and Canada. SYS works closely with corporate Volkswagen personnel to create assets and post data to the site on an as-needed basis. Updates are implemented, often daily, based on changes to product information.

Jeff Giglio, Vice President of SYS Technologies' Web Technologies business unit, stated, "Our support for Pratt & Whitney's EHSdesk enterprise solutions has been ongoing since 1998, and we are proud to continue our effort to assist Pratt & Whitney in achieving their goal of world-wide EHS best practices through the use of information management. EHSdesk has been recognized by United Technologies Corporation through its EHS Annual Innovation award and recognized by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) as a `best practice' during a recent OSHA audit at a Pratt & Whitney site. We are also developing a new web-based version of EHSdesk that we hope will be available to both commercial and government markets later in 2006."

Cliff Cooke, President and CEO of SYS Technologies, commented, "The capabilities of Web Technologies have significantly increased our decision support credentials. The EHSdesk solution, when coupled with The Assessment Profiling System (TAPS), will enable us to sell an enhanced product to existing customers and pursue new opportunities through the development of new vertical markets. This is an excellent validation of our business strategy of leveraging the capabilities of our acquisitions."
