LAS VEGAS, November 14, 2006 - Advancing the digital check clearing capabilities of the financial industry, SortLogic SYSTEMS, a division of Omni-Soft, Inc., and Avalon International, Inc. today announced expansion of their partnership to encompass a wider range of technology components from SortLogic SYSTEMS. The companies made the announcement at the BAI Retail Delivery Conference & Expo at The Mandalay Resort.

Under their expanded agreement, Avalon International will integrate and resell the SortLogic Simulator, SortLogic Desktop Evaluator and SortLogic Virtual Capture software components, providing IBM CPCS and SuperMICR users with connectivity for leveraging their legacy check processing investments, while migrating toward electronic clearing and image exchange.

SortLogic Simulator provides developers of Windows-based applications - such as those for Check 21 - with the ability to use a bank's existing sort programs to qualify documents like an actual IBM 3890/XP transport. SortLogic Desktop Evaluator provides users with the ability to test and evaluate sort patterns by processing code-lines read from a text file using sort programs on a desktop PC, rather than an actual reader-sorter. This simplifies the creation, editing, testing, debugging and deployment of sort programs. SortLogic Virtual Capture provides the ability to import remotely captured check data and images on the same rails as current paper is captured.

Avalon will integrate the SortLogic components with its ImagePoint payment processing system. Built from the ground up using Microsoft .NET, ImagePoint takes advantage of Check 21 to provide a comprehensive, integrated solution for front and back-counter branch capture, merchant capture, remote deposit capture, check image exchange, long-term Meta Data storage, image archive, duplicate checking and remittance processing. The ImagePoint Microsoft .NET architecture provides Capture Anywhere/Process Anywhere functionality, and Avalon's use of Microsoft Smart Client offers instant offshore processing capability.

"The current and future success of SortLogic SYSTEMS is a function not only of our innovative software, but technology partners who can deliver the components in a very demanding environment," explained Omni-Soft President Clint Shank. "This expanded agreement underscores SortLogic's and Avalon's confidence in the growing need for tools and enterprise check processing solutions to improve systems connectivity as financial institutions migrate toward Check 21 and electronic payments initiatives."

"Our partnership with SortLogic is enabling us to leverage connectivity components in new and interesting ways to enhance our solutions and empower our customers," said Avalon President Seth Narayanan. "Helping banks bridge legacy systems and emerging technologies is pivotal to our continued success, and our partnership with SortLogic is helping ensure that Avalon continues to shape the future of electronic check clearing."
