MSI Attracts Industry Veterans for Key Executive Positions - 
Andrew Sanders and Keith Cook Join MSI
.
PHOENIX � JANUARY 21, 2008 - Multi-Systems, Inc. (MSI) is pleased to announce two industry leaders�Andrew Sanders and Keith Cook�who joined MSI this month. The additions were made to accelerate the implementation of MSI�s growth strategies and to broaden the executive management team.

Andrew Sanders has joined MSI as the Vice President of Sales. As an executive-level sales resource in the hospitality technology industry for Micros and Red Sky IT, Andrew was familiar with MSI from a competitive standpoint. In his new role, Andrew will expand the sales team to include regionalized sales offices and will extend MSI�s products and services to a broader range of hotel customers and management companies. Andrew�s experience with sales and marketing�coupled with his reputation in the industry as a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and driven hotel technology provider�is the perfect sales compliment to the changes in product management and development that have set the groundwork for MSI�s expansion.

�MSI impressed me with its customer/people-orientated culture and a �can do� attitude to trying new things. We are agile and strong enough to deliver great technology, the best customer service, and a flexible approach to working with our customers. Our aim is to be the number one vendor in our chosen markets and everyone at MSI is aligned to deliver that goal,� stated Andrew.

Keith Cook, the new Director of Product Management, will be responsible for leading the product team to continue MSI�s focus of developing creative, stable, supportable, and marketable product lines. With experience ranging from product management to CRS integration�with such industry heavy-hitters as Pegasus and Encore�Keith is a first-rate choice to lead MSI�s product management group, whose industry experience and understanding of hotel operations have given MSI�s products advanced momentum over the last year.

�As my tenure involved working with industry leaders in the past, I was looking for a company committed to providing cutting-edge hotel technology, and was very impressed with the product lines that MSI is actively developing,� commented Keith. �MSI is determined to build on their position as a leading provider of products with their new technology, and I am excited to be in a position to help make that happen.�

Last year, MSI announced a new product�The Helm�which compliments MSI�s centrally distributed EnterprisePM system with features targeted to hotel groups consolidating accounting, sales, and customer service centers.

The success of another new product, the Place Point POS System, demonstrated MSI�s ability to develop and deploy new technology. The Place Point POS, which offers retail and self service features, has been embraced by hotels offering food and beverage services in a casual environment, and reached an install base of 80+ property installations in its first year.

�We�ve been congratulated by numerous industry professionals for attracting Keith and Andrew to MSI,� stated Tim Tiller, MSW, and President of MSI. When asked about how the recruitment occurred, Tim said that an in-depth look at MSI�s solutions, services, and people were the compelling reasons both Andrew and Keith were interested in MSI. �We�re serious about our �go forward� strategy and are excited that after being exposed to MSI�s plans, both Andrew and Keith were captured by the vision.�
