dataSIGN’s Sign Manufacturing Solutions Provide Multi-Location Custom Sign Company the Power of Full Integration

NEENAH, WI and MINNEAPOLIS, MN — January 2, 2008 - Integrated enterprise business system provider Data.com International, Inc. (“Datacom”), today announced that Appleton Sign Company (“Appleton”), a custom sign manufacturer with two locations in Wisconsin-Neenah and Kewaskum, has contracted with Datacom to implement its dataSIGN Product Suite to manage and streamline its operational and financial resources.

According to Mark Wildenberg, Appleton’s President, “Appleton chose dataSIGN to take advantage of the ‘Power of Full Integration’ that dataSIGN’s tightly integrated system provides. We appreciated the Sign Industry focus of the dataSIGN application and its “access from anywhere” web technology, but key to our decision was dataSIGN’s ability to make the challenges of converting to a new business management software solution as pain-free as possible. It was very clear to us that the Datacom team understands that moving to a custom, web-based product is a serious decision and they do everything they can to make the transition to a custom system a success, from making sure the product is a perfect fit for our company to spending over 75+ hours training our employees.” Added Mark, “As Appleton’s President, I was especially adamant that once implemented the system could and would be utilized by all within our organization. We had made a significant investment in a software solution in the past, but it overpromised and under-delivered and it was never fully utilized.”

Chris Brooks, Datacom’s VP of Business Development, noted “We are confident that the dataSIGN system will help Appleton become more efficient and productive as the company continues its expansion.” “I’m sure that Appleton will take full advantage of dataSIGN’s training knowledge and resources so as to maximize the improved productivity and profitability that is realized from a full featured information system such as dataSIGN.”
