DALLAS & HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Jan. 28, 2005-XFormity Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:News) and MenuLink Computer Solutions, Inc. today announced a cross-licensing agreement whereby each company will integrate its primary product into a single suite of software for the restaurant industry. The first joint initiative is incorporating MenuLink's BOA.Net into XFormity's QSRx Suite to serve XFormity's customer base of Taco Bell franchisees, currently representing over 1,000 stores.

Also announced today, XFormity Technologies joins MenuLink in supporting Microsoft Smarter Hospitality, a comprehensive solutions framework designed to help lodging and foodservice organizations improve the way they interact with their guests, improve work-force productivity and streamline operations. By combining their standards-based software into a single suite of products that utilize the interoperability and integration advantages of the Microsoft .NET Framework, the companies now provide a complete and simplified solution for the restaurant industry including cash management, inventory, purchasing, and labor control through advanced back of house and business intelligence.

"MenuLink approached XFormity about working together on business intelligence," said Mark Haugejorde, President of XFormity. "With MenuLink's 9,000-store customer base representing over 300 restaurant brands, XFormity's opportunity is exciting. What we quickly came to understand was how MenuLink achieved its enviable status in the industry - and that BOA.Net is also ideally suited for our client needs."

Terri Williams, Executive Vice President of MenuLink, said, "We're very impressed with the performance of XFormity's QSRx Business Intelligence. Their advanced architecture lends itself to flexibility and scalability, and with both of our products developed on the Microsoft .NET Framework, the ability to meet growing customer requirements is evident. Each company focuses on its core competencies, necessary for any successful partnership."

"The collaboration between XFormity and MenuLink is exactly what the Smarter Hospitality vision is all about," said Brian Scott, General Manager for the Retail & Hospitality Industry Unit at Microsoft Corporation.
