KENNESAW, Ga., Jun 29, 2001 /PRNewswire/ -- Compris Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR), has been awarded its fourth Microsoft(R) Retail Application Developer (RAD) Award for the Compris POS application. This year marks the sixth annual RAD Awards, which recognize application developers that demonstrate industry leadership by creating best- of-breed solutions built on the Windows(R) platform and designed to maximize retailers' business benefits.

Compris' latest offering, the Infinite Ordering application, allows restaurants to take food orders from virtually any device. With the enabling technology of a remote order entry API, Compris' POS system acts as a transaction processor. The order entry can take place on a Web-enabled phone, Web TV, home delivery call center, hand held terminals or a Web browser. The menu contents are sent to the order entry application on any device in XML format, the order is then placed remotely and sent to a local restaurant for processing.

Once the restaurant receives the order and processes it, the system confirms that the order has been placed and provides an order number and confirmation back to the customer. Additionally, the Infinite Ordering application supports self service kiosk devices, which allows customers to place their own orders at the restaurants.

"We have created a number of new layers on top of our POS application, enabling reliable and consistent interfaces to our POS and its business logic," said Guy Dille, Compris' CEO and president. "Our vision is to leverage XML and the Internet technology to enable retailers reach more customers wherever they are and to allow them to place their orders on any device."

Additionally, Compris embraces the OPOS standards, providing an open platform strategy. Around the world, Compris is serving up infinite advantages with high quality, feature-rich solutions and clear long-terms benefits for restaurant businesses.
