Elo Wins "Best Business Partner Execution Excellence" award from Target Corporation -------------------------------------------------------- Target Corporation recently named Elo a winner of its prestigious "Best Business Partner Execution Excellence" award. The award goes to Target partners who "anticipate and communicate problems up front, meet deadlines, and comply with standards, policies and procedures, while exceeding expectations for great service, high quality, and low cost." Elo achieved the award after more than satisfactorily responding to an urgent need from Target for 1,800-plus touchmonitors to be built and installed in Target's "Club Wedd" interactive, online bridal registry kiosks. According to Target, Elo's response to Target's needs "certainly demonstrated execution excellence."

New 18.1" Entuitive LCD Touchmonitor -------------------------------------------------------- We've added a new member to the popular Entuitive touchmonitor family in the shape of the 18.1" LCD desktop touchmonitor. Available with both IntelliTouch (surface wave) and AccuTouch (resistive) touch technology, the new LCDs are designed for use in applications such as point-of-information (POI), light industrial control rooms and retail kiosk applications. The 18.1" Entuitive LCD touchmonitors are available now and come with speakers, tilt-and-swivel, and are sealed to protect against splashed liquids, dirt or dust.

Elo Introduces iTouch Technology on New iMac and Wins Prestigious 4-Mice Award from Macworld -------------------------------------------------------- Apple's recent enhancements to the iMac make it the perfect tabletop interactive display. The new iMac has faster graphics and multimedia processor with new, improved speakers. The all-in-one form saves space and attracts attention with its sleek, colorful industrial design. And Elo's addition of iTouch "touch-on-tube" technology makes the iMac the most cost-effective way for retailers to use an interactive display for in-store e-tailing, additional sales and better service. In fact, at a list price of just $1685 for the blueberry, 350 MHz iMac with iTouch, there's never been a better price-point to put an all-in-one interactive kiosk on your desktop, tabletop or countertop. Elo's iMac with iTouch was recently praised in Macworld, where it was awarded a prestigious 4-Mice accolade in the March 2000 issue product review.

Elo's 1500L Series of 15" LCD Entuitive Touchmonitors Are "Designed for Touch" -------------------------------------------------------- Each member of Elo's 1500L series of 15" LCD Entuitive desktop and kiosk touchmonitors is "designed for touch" and together they create a strong differentiation with existing touchmonitors that typically were based on standard desktop displays with touch added. The 1525L desktop model comes with your choice of Elo's two leading touch technologies: AccuTouch five-wire resistive ideal for point-of-sale (POS), light industrial and medical applications, or IntelliTouch surface wave ideal for retail applications, process control rooms and clean industrial plants. The 1545L kiosk model is mountable for interactive kiosks and comes with Elo's proven SecureTouch surface wave technology. The high level of ruggedness inherent in SecureTouch technology makes it the perfect solution for every kiosk application. All models are available with either serial or USB touch interfaces.

Elo and ShortCuts Help Australian Hair Salons Get Ahead -------------------------------------------------------- Adding that "finishing touch" is now more than just styling hair for salons in Australia. Thanks to a combination of ShortCuts business management solutions and Elo LCD and CRT touchmonitors equipped with AccuTouch touchscreens, salons like Kusco Murphy, Kudos Fitzroy and Debonhair find that keeping in touch with the day-to-day running of their business is easier, simpler, and faster. "Stylists are very tactile and spatially/visually oriented, so interacting with a computer by touching the screen is the most natural thing in the world for them," says Kusco Murphy Salon owner, Linley Godfrey. In fact, salons find that the touchscreen interface makes it easy for their employees to learn and use the business management systems, and that customer transactions are faster. "I'm computer-illiterate," says Natuzza Mazzitelli, owner of Kudos Fitzroy Salon, "so I insisted on the touchscreen because I was more comfortable with it than with a mouse and keyboard." Elo touchscreens are distributed and supported throughout Australia by Redflex Touchscreens Pty. Ltd.

Elo is Apple's First Touchscreen VAR for Education -------------------------------------------------------- Elo is now authorized by Apple to be an Education Solution Provider (ESP) Value Added Reseller (VAR). In fact, we are the first and only ESP VAR authorized to sell a touch-enabled version of the popular iMac into the education market. Key features for education include pre-installed touch drivers, factory calibration, and touch built into the display with no clip-on overlays for children to remove. The early feedback has been excellent. Connecticut-based Onion Mountain Technology, Inc. is a special education consultancy who have been using the iMac with iTouch in training special educators, speech therapists and occupational therapists for the past few months. "It has truly been a success everywhere I've shown it," says Judith Sweeney, Onion's owner.
