NORTH VANCOUVER, BC – January 1, 2008 -- RSI International Systems Inc. (“RSI”) (TSX Venture Exchange: RSY), celebrated the beginning of its 30th year in business today. At a recent session commemorating the company's 30th anniversary, Charles Ku, the company’s CEO, reviewed both company and industry milestones and discussed vision and goals for the future.
"The hospitality sector has experienced a lot of change over the past 30 years and many people are amazed at how far the industry has come. But given the rapid speed of progress in the last few years, I feel we have just begun to see the possibilities," said Mr. Ku. "Back in 1978, we felt we had the ability to help people manage their properties through technology – and we did that quite successfully. The last 5 years have really brought the potential of the Internet and web based technology to light. I truly believe we have the opportunity to revolutionize the way properties are managed in a global market. In 30 years, we've accomplished a lot of things but I feel the best is yet to come. I'm confident that RSI will have even greater things to remember over the next 30 years – with our passion for technology and our intellectual capital, we have what it takes to make it happen."
Mark Smiciklas, RSI’s Director of Sales and Marketing, echoed Mr. Ku’s sentiments. "As we look ahead, the commitment to hosted, centralized systems will continue to grow,” said Mr. Smiciklas, “we've got a clear plan, a great suite of solutions, excellent leadership and an incredible team. Through innovation and a dedication to providing superior service, our employees will guide us into the next 30 years."
