RTP Debuts New Web-Based Ticketing & Point-of-Sale Solution at IAAPA 2008

ORLANDO, Fla. and AVON, Colo., Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- RTP, the leading provider of software, interactive services, and RFID access control for the resort and recreation industries, announced today the debut of RTP|Insight, a new web-based ticketing and point-of-sale solution for the parks and attractions industry. The new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution is available for demonstrations at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions 2008 Expo in Orlando, November 18 - 21, 2008 at the RTP Booth (#4674).

"For small to medium size park operators, RTP|Insight is a great alternative to traditional ticketing and point-of-sale solutions," said Mark Roebke, Chief Innovation Officer for RTP. "Many of the independent and smaller operators have similar ticketing and point-of-sale needs as the larger operators, but don't have the resources or desire to maintain a system on-site. RTP|Insight offers all the benefits of traditional ticketing and point-of-sale solutions, but in a flexible, hosted environment that greatly reduces the costs related to setting-up and maintaining a typical software deployment."

RTP|Insight is an easy-to-use, integrated, point-of-sale solution for ticket, retail and food-and-beverage sales that is accessed via the Internet. Based on the latest Microsoft technologies, RTP|Insight is built using Microsoft .NET Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) technology, delivering an easy to use, engaging and rich user experience unlike any other point-of-sale. Many of the unique challenges of businesses in the parks and attractions industry, including seasonal staff turnover, limited IT resources and budgets, and point-of-sale needs for multiple product types, are solved with RTP|Insight.

-- It's easy-to-use, so end users require minimal training and are up-and- running quickly.

-- No additional hardware or software to buy or maintain, resulting in cost savings.

-- Integrated point-of-sale, so all ticket, retail and food & beverage sales are handled through one, easy-to-use system.

-- Ideal solution for attractions, theme parks, water parks, museums, zoos and aquariums.

"With the debut of RTP|Insight, RTP will offer ticketing and point-of-sale solutions to park and attraction operators of all sizes," said Michael McDermott, Sr. Vice President of Sales & Marketing for RTP.
