iParq Introduces iPermit(TM) Web-Based Parking Management Solutions

           First Intelligent Permit and Web-Based Systems Automate
                  Registration, Verification and Enforcement

    FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 22 iParq, a leading provider of
advanced solutions for parking management, today announced iPermit(TM), the
first intelligent parking permit, at the International Parking Institute
Conference and Exposition.  The company also unveiled iParq Simple(TM), iParq
Smart(TM) and iParq Signature(TM), three new Web-based management solutions
that work seamlessly with the new iPermit to automate the process of
registration, verification and enforcement.

    In addition, the company announced it has acquired In Color Graphics, a
leading graphics design firm, to provide its clients expert consultation on
creating iPermit designs with full-color photographs and vivid graphics that
enhance the image of their institution.

    The new iPermit and Web-based solutions from iParq usher the end to an era
of legacy systems that bog down parking management for municipalities,
universities and commercial parking lots.  Through its online customer-service
outlet, The Permit Store(TM) at http://www.thepermitstore.com, iParq automates the
process of registration, verification and payment -- and offers parking
administrators instant, secure access to high-quality information 24 hours a
day, seven days a week, using a standard Web browser.

    iPermit
    The iPermit from iParq is the first intelligent parking permit to include
a unique identity that can be scanned in the field and tracked in the home
office.  Each iPermit is individually digitized with variable information as
part of an advanced printing technique that also lends itself to stunning
photographs and images.

    Each iPermit is printed with heavy-duty inks that retain a brilliant
luster after years of exposure to direct sunlight.  iParq also uses a
patent-pending adhesive that sticks aggressively to surfaces, but can be
peeled away and reapplied several times with ease.

    The Permit Store
    The Permit Store from iParq is a friendly customer outlet where people
register and purchase new parking permits online.  On the back end, it's a
robust relational database where parking administrators can securely track and
manage high-quality permit holder information.
    Always open for business, The Permit Store is housed on powerful,
mission-critical servers that are maintained round-the-clock by iParq.
Parking administrators have instant access to their information from anywhere,
at anytime, using a standard Web browser.  Advanced encryption and firewall
technology keeps all data secure.

    iParq Simple
    iParq Simple is the easiest way to automate the registration process.
Permit applicants receive faster, more convenient service.  Parking
departments can eliminate long lines of waiting applicants, bulky piles of
paper applications and the need to hire temporary staff.  Virtually all
customer service needs are handled online at The Permit Store.

    iParq Smart
    iParq Smart is the first intelligent way to automate registration,
qualification, purchasing, delivery and activation of parking permits.  iParq
Smart is integrated with a client's existing management systems to qualify
each applicant according to client criteria.  Applicants may be screened by a
variety of guidelines, such as proof of residency, enrollment, social security
number, or whether they have been earmarked as a parking violator.

    iParq Signature
    iParq Signature is the most complete parking management solution
available.  From registration to enforcement, iParq Signature automates every
step of the way with new intelligence that can help parking managers
understand parking trends, maximize resources and plan wisely.  Enforcement
officers can quickly scan, record and track each iPermit in the field, and
know immediately which permits are valid or stolen.  More importantly, parking
management knows exactly who parks where on any given day, week, month or
year.
    At the heart of iParq Signature is a powerful relational database with
data-mining to quickly analyze a wide variety of parking trends, such as which
lots are underutilized and which type of permit holder parks in certain areas.
