I sold out of @Road this afternoon. I think it's stalling and I think I'll come back to it when the catalysts are a bit clearer. I put the proceeds into VitalStream (VSTH) which should has bottomed out and should get some short term strength on some contracts.

I'll keep this board up.

apparently the $6 resistance is much greater than i thought. all momentum is basically gone. i don't know where it's going, but i think putting in a stop would be very prudent here.

btw, it's too bad this board is not attracting enough reads.

Wednesday September 20, 7:30 AM EDT

ISO 9001:2000 Recertification Demonstrates @Road's Ongoing Commitment to Quality Assurance and Controls, Customer Service, and Management Systems for Continual Improvement

@Road, Inc. (ARDI), a global provider of next-generation solutions for Mobile Resource Management (MRM), today announced it has received ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 9001:2000 recertification from Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance (LRQA), an independent international certification body and a member of the Lloyd's Register Group providing verification and assessment services. The LRQA "Certification of Approval" was granted to @Road for achieving ISO 9001:2000 and TickIT Guide Issue 5 standards for quality management system in "the development and provision of Field Service Management products" at @Road's international operations in Ipswich, UK and Chennai, India.

"It is generally recognized that to be a successful, market-driven company, that company must have a strong commitment to delivering quality driven value adds at every step in its value chain, and a culture which aspires to deliver services that exceed customer expectations," said Krish Panu, @Road president and CEO. "I believe the ISO 9001:2000 recertification demonstrates our commitment to excellence from customer service delivery to product development, and quality management systems to process improvement."

Panu added that the ISO 9001:2000 recertification exemplifies @Road's commitment to process improvement and customer satisfaction. Additionally, the ISO 9001:2000 recertification indicates that @Road takes steps designed to assure that quality controls are in place during its development and delivery of field service solutions.

ISO 9001:2000 is an internationally recognized quality standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system aimed at helping organizations achieve customer satisfaction and continual improvement. The ISO 9001:2000 standard is process-model based and was developed using a core set of eight quality management principles. These eight principles include: customer focus; leadership; involvement of people; process approach; system approach to management; continual improvement; factual approach to decision making; and mutually beneficial supplier relationships.

ISO 9001:2000 certification also specifies requirements for a quality management system for any organization that needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products that meet customer and applicable regulatory requirements and aim to enhance customer satisfaction. The standard is used for certification/registration and contractual purposes by organizations seeking recognition of their quality management system. Periodic assessments will be carried out to verify that products, materials, services, systems and personnel continue to meet ISO 9001:2000 certification standards and customer expectations.

LRQA, a subsidiary of London-based Lloyd's Register Group, was established in 1985 to provide management system certification services. LRQA is one of the world's most experienced organizations in helping businesses use management systems to improve their operations.

just putting out $6 alert to anyone reading. the $6 level is ripe to be broken through. the company has enjoyed some major signings in the past few months, and in fact should raise their guidance. another option is for an analyst to raise the guidance for them.

@Road, Inc. (ARDI), a global provider of solutions for Mobile Resource Management (MRM), today announced the inauguration of its expanded operations and facilities in Chennai's premier Information Technology destination, TIDEL Park. Participating in the inauguration is Mr. David Hopper, Consul General, U.S. Consulate, Chennai, Dr. Chandramouli, Secretary, Department of Information Technology, Government of Tamil Nadul, and @Road President and CEO, Mr. Krish Panu. The inauguration ceremony will take place at 10:00 in the morning at the new @Road Chennai business center, 901(A1) & 902(A2), Tidel Park, No.4 on Canal Bank Road.

In its seven years of operation in Chennai, @Road has grown from a few engineers in a small office to more than 160 information technology professionals working in functional areas such as research and development, quality assurance, technical support, business development and marketing at the newly dedicated 40,000 sq. ft. Chennai facility.

Mr. Krish Panu, President and CEO of @Road said: "It's important for us to maintain our leadership position and competitive advantage by continuing to innovate in mobile resource management. Our team in Chennai will play a pivotal role in that innovation and as part of our international efforts to deliver world-class, next-generation MRM solutions. We look forward to the @Road Chennai center being an integral part of our aggressive growth plans to build a center of excellence in India and to being a key component of our organizational goals for international growth."

According to Mr. Rajan Aiyer, India Country Manager for @Road: "@Road has made a significant investment in its Chennai operations and enjoys nearly 40,000 square feet of prime office space. Current plans call for continued office expansion in Chennai and the adding of several hundred professionals as @Road revenues grow and demand for MRM and field automation services accelerate worldwide."

@Road is a company that has been profitable since July 2003. Total revenues in 2005 increased 23% to $92.9 million from $75.2 million in 2004.

The company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, includes $118 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

@Road continues to see business traction and expansion as indicated by such recent customer wins as AT&T Lightspeed, BellSouth, Cox Communications, E.ON UK and E.ON Slovakia, Performance Transportation Services and ServiceMaster within its Terminix business unit.

Mr. Panu added: "Adoption of our innovative MRM solutions is also accelerating on a global basis due to an effective partner strategy that's leveraging new business channels through system integrators and other value-added business relationships we're pursuing."

@Road's MRM solutions for field force management are designed to enable businesses to drive down fuel and other operating costs while increasing mobile worker productivity. This is accomplished through greater location intelligence and visibility into the daily activities of their mobile workers and their work -- from actual vehicle routes, starts and stops, to customizable maps showing mobile worker location relative to important landmarks like customer locations or work yards. @Road field force management solutions also allow businesses to upload customer and/or trip information into a routing engine to generate on-demand, actionable reports such as optimized routes and drive-time, fuel economy, city ordinance compliance and much more.

In addition to @Road MRM solutions for field force management, @Road offers solutions that use real-time data and patented artificial-intelligence algorithms designed to transform field service management from a manual process into a highly automated, proactive one that makes the best field technician schedule and dispatch decision from an operation and a customer perspective. @Road field service management solutions also coordinate people, skills, resources and inventory with ease, constantly optimizing for the best solution at any given time. These solutions go beyond human decision-making capabilities, coping with the complexity and changeability of today's fast-paced global business environment.
