AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 9, 2007--Site Controls today announced Site-Command™ 5.0, the latest version of its fully integrated clean energy and business intelligence platform.

With Site-Command 5.0, Site Controls provides even greater value to chain store operators with improved usability and visibility across stores, integrated on-site hardware and software with a hosted data center solution, and an accelerated ability to integrate and view business-critical third-party equipment.

"With thousands of successful implementations across the United States and internationally, Site-Command has become the benchmark for Internet-based clean energy platforms," said Dan Sharplin, CEO of Site Controls, Inc. "Site-Command 5.0 continues Site Controls' mission to provide our customers with measurable financial and environmental benefits far beyond standard energy expense reductions."

"Today's leading companies want more than traditional energy management systems," continued Sharplin. "As the leading business intelligence platform for large chains, Site-Command has a proven track record of helping companies monitor, manage, and proactively maintain the operational assets -- from pool controls to fuel dispensers to range-top exhaust hoods -- that are most critical to their operations and profitability."

The Site-Command 5.0 Platform

The Site-Command 5.0 Platform is built using today's latest open-source and Internet technology. The platform integrates all on-site and centralized data center hardware, software and communication required to provide real-time visibility and control across multiple sites. Key features of the platform include:

Advanced Clean Energy Management:

• Energy Controls: Site-Command 5.0 provides customers with a
  robust energy management solution to help reduce energy usage.
  The platform integrates on-site controllers, hardware and
  software with a hosted data center solution to enable
  customers to receive immediate benefits. Site-Command is
  implemented in most sites in a single day, without impacting
  store operations.

• Intelligent Load Management™: Site-Command's Intelligent
  Load Management (ILM) option enables customers to profitably
  respond to demand/response requests made by utilities needing
  to quickly decrease load during periods of peak demand, but do
  so without impacting customers' experiences.

• Emissions Reduction: Site-Command's energy management
  capabilities help customers reduce carbon emissions, thereby
  reducing overall carbon footprint. Reducing emissions helps
  improve the environment and enhances green branding and
  corporate social responsibility initiatives.

• Rapid Integration of New Inputs: In order to offer centralized
  visibility into an unlimited number of critical assets and
  metrics at all locations simultaneously, Site-Command 5.0 is
  designed to quickly integrate data from third-party equipment
  and sensors.

• Automated Volumetric Reports: By providing real-time reports
  of on-site volumes, Site-Command 5.0 helps companies
  proactively manage supply chains and inventories.

• E-mail alerts and Detailed Reports: Site-Command 5.0 provides
  online visibility, alerts, and reports to notify customers
  when a device or store is not performing to standards so
  immediate and proactive action can be taken to correct the
  problem.

• Open Source Architecture: Site-Command 5.0 leverages the
  latest open-source architecture and Internet technologies to
  provide customers with a non-proprietary setup and quick,
  seamless installations.

• Universal Access to Web-enabled Devices: The streamlined user
  interface is designed to be viewed in most Web-enabled devices
  to give customers control over individual devices or complete
  stores.

• Persistent Connectivity: Always-on connections ensure that
  customers have access to the most up-to-the-minute data at the
  device level, the location level, or at all locations in
  aggregate.

• Firewall Friendly: Communication from each store is firewall
  friendly and can easily leverage existing LAN/WAN
  infrastructures without compromising existing networks.

• Remote System Diagnostics and Updates: Site-Command 5.0
  reduces ongoing costs with remote diagnostics and provides a
  mechanism to ensure uniformity of software revisions with
  rapid global or surgical updating.
