Marconi Interactive Systems Selects Kudos

London (4th October 2001) - Kudos Development Group, the company behind high-performance Kudos(tm) software for interactive terminals and kiosks, today announced that it has been selected by Marconi Interactive Systems to partner in its Interactive Public Terminal project. Interactive Public Terminals (also known as web-payphones) provide Internet access to the public, who can choose to browse, send e-mail, SMS or even make a voice call.

"Web payphones and their killer application-e-mail-promise to become the interactive pay phones of the next decade," says Francie Mendelsohn, President at Summit Research. "Summit Research predicts that the number of Web payphones will leap from 14,000 last year to over 400,000 in 2005."

"We looked at many kiosk applications and platforms before selecting Kudos. Kudos was the only solution to provide the desired flexibility and functionality, as well as deliver on our requirements for an extensible development platform as opposed to just a configurable client," said Roy Jackson, CTO of Marconi Interactive Systems.
