Chicago, IL, September 30, 2005 - Z2 Systems, Inc. on Friday unveiled its first-generation product NEON Beta: a single software suite that is designed to provide 100% online solutions for the non-profit organizations, a move that could help nonprofits use the Internet strategically to build strong relationships with constituents for driving fundraising, advocacy and other forms of support.

Internet has become a vital channel for business to stay competitive in today's market, yet most small to medium sized non-profit organizations haven't utilized the full power of Internet to improve their operations. Some organizations do not have online presence, while some others cannot integrate their legacy databases with online front-end. The key of their problems is the lack of affordable, integrated Internet solutions in the market to address their unique requirements.

Z2 Systems positioned itself to deliver affordable Internet solutions for non-profit organizations. The open source trend in IT industry in recent years enabled Z2 systems to build their software on top of industry standard open source code and save development time, which means lower software cost to their clients. Named as NEON, standing for Non-profit Enterprise Online Network, the software is a "rented" software, which is not developed for a specific client but for general clients, like packaged software does. This translates into much lower cost per client. Unlike packaged software, NEON is hosted on Z2 Systems' server and clients use the software through their web browsers such as Internet Explorer. This feature helps customers save on software and database maintenance, in addition to automatic free software upgrades.

Z2 is mainly focusing on the high-quality and affordable solutions for small and mid sized organizations and is designing products that make it easier for non-profit organizations to boost staff efficiency, strengthen constituent relationships and cut costs as they expand their community.

NEON is designed to be highly configurable, to closely meet the requirements of each individual client with custom settings specified during the setup phase. NEON is composed of a number of components. Each client has the choice to select and only pay for the components they need. With total cost less than standard non-profit desktop software with similar functions, NEON's client will enjoy the benefit of a complete suite of online solutions that they would otherwise hire an expensive team to develop.
