SALZBURG, Austria, July 7 /PRNewswire/ --

- Salzburg-Based Orderman Becomes Radiant's Global Headquarters for 
Mobile Solutions

Orderman, the world's leading manufacturer of wireless, customizable
handheld ordering and payment devices for the hospitality industry, today
announced their sale to Radiant Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: RADS), US market
leader in POS solutions for the hospitality industry.

"Orderman's innovative, mobile devices are widely recognized in the
European hospitality marketplace," said John Heyman, CEO of Radiant Systems.
"This acquisition puts Radiant in an excellent position to further accelerate
the adoption of mobile devices in the global hospitality sector and to bring
additional innovations to market across all of the industries we serve."

Based in Salzburg, Austria, Orderman develops wireless, handheld point of
sale (POS) devices that are deployed in a variety of hospitality venues,
including restaurants, cafes, arenas, stadiums, and ski resorts. Restaurant
operators typically realize a positive return on their investment in Orderman
handheld terminals in less than twelve months by enabling servers to wait on
a greater number of tables, increasing the restaurant's table-turns through
faster ordering and payment, and improving order accuracy.

"Radiant Systems and Orderman are both globally-minded companies that
provide innovative technology solutions to the hospitality industry," said
Alois Eisl, CEO of Orderman. "We're pleased to join Radiant Systems in
leading the charge for mobile handheld device adoption in the retail and
hospitality industries not only in Europe, but also in the United States and
the rest of the world."

Orderman distributes its solutions through a reseller network of more
than 600 partners, predominantly in Europe. These partners have deployed
approximately 50,000 Orderman handheld devices in more than 20,000
restaurants in 45 countries. Orderman's devices process millions of
transactions per day.

"We view Orderman's reseller network as a strategic asset that will
accelerate Radiant's growth in Europe," added Heyman. "Our track record of
partnering with resellers gives us an opportunity to add additional value to
their businesses and their end customers."

Radiant Systems will advance its capabilities with wireless and mobile
devices by leveraging Orderman's expertise across all segments of retail and
hospitality. Salzburg immediately becomes Radiant's global center of
excellence for mobile devices, with Orderman's existing senior leadership
managing the organization.
