Vienna, Austria, 25 November 2004: SAIL LABS Technology AG closed significant deals at the new Southeast Asian defense event highlight, the first Indo Defence Expo, which took place in Jakarta, Indonesia. The exhibition is regarded as one of the most interesting industry gatherings in the region.

"For SAIL LABS Technology, the Indo Defence 2004 was an excellent opportunity to meet representatives of government institutions and commercial corporations in Southeast Asia, and to increase the awareness of the SAIL LABS products in this region," says Christoph Prinz, COO of SAIL LABS. "At the same time, we really enjoyed sharing ideas and exploring key topics with international industry leaders. This helps us to identify current and future industry requirements, which again will have impacts on our strategic product development."

For the first time SAIL LABS presented a beta version of ROSIDS - Rapid Open Source Intelligence Deployment System, one of its latest developments in the field of audio/video broadcast news indexing. ROSIDS has been designed to aid Open Source Intelligence Analysts by replacing the manual process of information gathering and filtering by fully automated indexing. Additional features like real-time translation and close captioning make ROSIDS a 'must have' in any Open Source Intelligence Environment.

"The Indo Defence 2004 was a very successful event for us, both from a marketing as well as commercial point of view, " says Mark P. Pfeiffer, Director of Business Development Government Solutions of SAIL LABS, and confirms that "major agreements have been signed, which strengthen the company's presence in Southeast Asia significantly."
