PR Newswire (US)
ROCKVILLE, Md., April 7, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VUANCE,
Ltd. (Nasdaq and Euronext: VUNC), a provider of innovative Radio
Frequency Verification Solutions, including active RFID, electronic
access control, credentialing and incident response management,
today announced that Prince William County is using its Compass
system to provide increased electronic access control security in
select buildings. Over a year ago, Prince William County Buildings
and Grounds Office determined a need to provide increased access
control security in select buildings including two police stations,
its 911 Center and office buildings. After reviewing a number of
options, it selected VUANCE's Compass system, which had been
included in proposals by several system integrator vendors. The
system is being installed and maintained by M.C. Dean, Inc., one of
VUANCE's business partners. Based on the current success,
additional installations are planned for the future. Compass
manages access into, within and exiting a facility, depending on
the client's needs. Personnel credentials recorded on badges and
cards are read by readers. Access through doors is operated through
controllers. Compass integrates individual buildings into the
County's extensive IT network. The entire system is run by a host
computer's central database of cardholders, permissions and
systematic procedures. User-friendliness is a key feature of the
system. It's intuitively designed, so it doesn't require days of
classroom training or weeks of practice to use when first
installed. Further, new users can be added quickly. As a SQL based
application, a database system already deployed within the County
IT framework, Compass was easy to integrate into the host system.
Management report have easy-to-read graphic interfaces to quickly
identify issues, such as the location of an open door; additionally
data can be integrated into the County's more extensive management
reporting systems for greater accountability. "VUANCE works through
leading business partner system integrators to enable users like
Prince William County to integrate our technology into their
workplaces," stated Eyal Tuchman, Chief Executive Officer of

facilitate easy implementation of the Compass system." About M.C.
