GroupSystems Teams Up With Remarkabalize To Help Raise One Million Dollars for Charity; ''Big Moo'' Tour Launches Today in New York

Business Wire, Nov 3, 2005

DENVER -- GroupSystems, Inc., the premier global provider of team collaboration services and solutions, announced today it is participating with Remarkabalize in a special project aimed at raising one million dollars for charity. GroupSystems will assist the organization in promoting a book written by 33 of the world's most celebrated business thinkers and edited by marketing luminary Seth Godin, entitled "The Big Moo: Stop Trying To Be Perfect and Start Being Remarkable." All author royalties arising from sales of the book will go directly to charity.

In addition to Godin, contributors to the book include thought leaders including award-winning journalists, best-selling authors and accomplished marketing executives, all who convey stories to inspire individuals to help "Remarkabalize" their organizations. The result, "The Big Moo", has been called the most innovative publishing collaboration to surface in years.

"Just as the 33 authors came together to create 'The Big Moo,' GroupSystems is used to collaborate with others to be more productive - people in organizations all over the world use our team collaboration and decision-making software to be remarkable," said Luis Solis, CEO of GroupSystems. "Everyone involved in the book thinks the whole is greater that the sum of the parts, which is the same concept that embodies GroupSystems' software and solutions."

GroupSystems offers a unique software platform to help organizations conduct more effective meetings and innovation sessions, and ultimately, enable better organizational decision-making.

The Big Moo is published by Portfolio, an imprint of Penguin Group (USA). All 33 contributing authors are donating their royalties to three charities: The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (www.jdrf.org), Room to Read (www.roomtoread.org) and the Acumen Fund (www.acumenfund.org).
