STANFORD UNIVERSITY SELECTS CSI SOFTWARE

Houston, TX May 22, 2008 CSI Software, a leading provider of software and services for campus recreation centers, announced today that Stanford University has chosen Spectrum NG, campus recreation software by CSI Software as its new management and scheduling software system for the Arrillaga Center for Sports and Recreation.

"Stanford University is a central wellspring of Silicon Valley innovation and inspiration" says Andy Wigderson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at CSI Software. "We are very excited to have them as a customer".

Software as a Service and PCI Compliance Driving Forces

One of the driving forces behind Stanford's decision to select CSI Software was their ability to offer a hosted solution which allows companies to subscribe to software applications and outsource operating the back-end infrastructure to the software vendor.

"While we have many customers using our hosting services" says Andy Wigderson "Stanford University is our first campus recreation customer to take advantage of this incredible technology".

"There are numerous benefits to the hosting model" says Andy Wigderson. "For example, because we charge on a subscription basis, the upfront capital costs are lower. This allows facilities with tight capital budgets to migrate to our solution sooner rather than later. Also, because we are hosting the actual data, all of the responsibilities of PCI Compliance fall on us".

PCI Compliance was a mandatory requirement in Stanford University's selection process. CSI Software is the only software vendor that caters specifically to the campus recreation market that is certified Level 1 PCI Compliant.

"CSI Software and Spectrum NG are certified Level 1 PCI and PABP Compliant" says Andy Wigderson. "We are uniquely compliant both as a software developer and as an application service provider"
