Intelligence Discovered In New Galaxy Alliance

Galaxy Control Systems and Richards Zeta Building Intelligence integrate state of the art security access control and total building automation for new wave of secure, human-reactive buildings.

Santa Barbara, CA. June 16, 2000 - Galaxy Managing Director Rick Fournier and Richards-Zeta President, Edmund B. Richards announced today the completion of a business to business model linking the complementary technologies of Galaxy Systems of Walkersville, Maryland with Richards-Zeta Building Intelligence of Santa Barbara, California. Galaxy Control Systems provides state of the art integrated access control and security management systems that integrate with other facility subsystems such as CCTV, Time and Attendance and Facility Management. In the combined business model, Galaxy's secure technology is integrated with Richards-Zeta's graphical automation technology providing facilities managers' unprecedented enterprise wide control with the ability to: (1.) monitor human presence, location and movement (2.) to monitor and control facilities operations using a simple, integrated system.

The 'Galaxy/RZ' technology package responds to growing world demand for integrated automation products that provide security, energy efficiency, comfort control and value-added services. Comprehensive automation services of this type are now being mandated by facilities needing to implement tenant efficiencies while creating new service revenue channels.

The significance of this technology blend is the true integration of access control and intelligent building automation which has been often speculated about, but has been difficult to implement until now. In this regard, Richards-Zeta and Galaxy Control Systems are uniquely qualified co-contributors as Richards-Zeta is a pioneer in interoperability- the integration of products between multiple vendors and networks and Galaxy Control Systems is one of the premier access control companies in the security industry.

Says Richards-Zeta's President Edmund B. Richards, 'this is exactly the type of serivce today's world has been promised in venues ranging from the World's Fair to Disney's 'Tomorrowland' for years. Now it's a reality and important to be pioneering this necessary efficiency for an increasingly demanding energy and data market economy.

Galaxy's Fournier characterizes the alliance this way; 'Galaxy was founded to provide cutting edge peace of mind'. 'With tenant/facility marketplaces rapidly requiring energy management and value-added services in addition to their security packages, this alliance makes Galaxy and RZ direct suppliers to market demand'. 'Responding decisively to our markets effectively develops and supports the success of our tenant/facility service mandate. This is definitely a winning combination for all of our end-users!'

With the growing movement towards broadband facility value-added tenant services, discovery of Galaxy's new value-added intelligence integration looks promising. The Galaxy/Richards-Zeta alliance offering stands to provide new revenue channels and improved property values. Its stewards intend to attract and retain new tenants through comfort, efficiency, savings and security and increased market valuations.
