Scientigo (OTCBB: SCNG): Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire
Exclusive Worldwide License to Proprietary Technology Platform from
Developers of Original 411 System -- Combination with Patented
tigo(TM) Technology to Empower Major Telcos and Directory
Assistance Service Providers with Industry's Most Advanced EDA
Solution Scientigo, Inc. (OTCBB:SCNG), an emerging leader in next
generation enterprise search and intelligent enterprise content
management and the owner of Find.com, today announced that the
Company has signed a letter of intent to acquire an exclusive
worldwide license to the next generation directory assistance
technology platform owned and developed by Global Directory
Solutions, LLC (GDS), a company founded and led by the team of an
original computerized Directory Assistance system platform that has
served as the telecommunications industry standard for the past
three decades. Harry J. Pettit, President of GDS and member of
Scientigo's Corporate Advisory Board, noted, "Once we learned of
Scientigo's tigo(TM) proprietary search engine technology, we
quickly recognized that through combining our technologies, we
could deliver major wireline and wireless carriers and DA service
providers with the most advanced, competitive, enhanced directory
assistance capability available on the market - particularly in the
areas of local and mobile directory assistance. This marriage of
technologies, driven by Scientigo's Find.com URL, creates a very
compelling opportunity for Scientigo to enter the directory
assistance market with a highly differentiated technology platform
that will work with and enhance leading installed Directory
platforms, and a significant revenue producing proposition for
potential customers in the telecommunications arena. We look
forward to working closely with Scientigo to ensure rapid market
adoption is achieved." "Because Harry is widely known having led
the original team at IBM that designed and developed the telecom
industry's first 411 system and who then went onto lead global
business operations for Bell Atlantic among other notable
achievements, we especially value his technological expertise,
industry knowledge and relationships and level of enthusiasm for
this exciting initiative," stated Doyal Bryant, CEO of Scientigo,
Inc. Continuing, Bryant added, "We each share high expectations for
leveraging Find.com as the delivery vehicle for our combined
technologies and believe that it holds ultimate potential to emerge
as the new industry standard for providing comprehensive directory
assistance services. By empowering telephone companies and DA
providers to generate multi-stream revenue for directory assistance
and information services through utilizing cross-technologies,
cross-media and cross-partnerships, the growth opportunity for
Scientigo could be profound in short order. We are even envisioning
a day when wired telephones, cell phones and other PDA devices will
feature a "FIND" button directly on the handset, offering users one
button, real time access to an operator/concierge capable of
providing a broad range of relevant, value-added information and
services, including automatic call completion, reverse look-up,
business category searches, people and business finder, detailed
driving directions, movie listings, restaurant and hotel
reservations, among others." The Pierz Group, a market research
group, believes that about $2 billion of the $6 billion total
dollars currently spent in the U.S. on directory assistance are for
mobile calls. Further, prominent market research firm Pelorus Group
notes that within five years, the global market for enhanced
directory assistance services, alone, could climb to $5 billion.
"Looking ahead, whether consumers seeking information use the
Internet, their home phone, cell phone or PDA, Scientigo is intent
on ensuring that Find.com is the one source on which they can
always depend," concluded Bryant. About Scientigo(TM) Scientigo(TM)
