GiveMePower Corporation and NEC Solutions America Announce Strategic Marketing Alliance to Provide Mobile Solutions for Retail and Construction


Mobile Technology Leaders Sign Letter of Intent to Market Best-of-Class Mobile Hardware and Software Solutions for Retail, Construction and Facilities Management Applications

CALGARY, Alberta and DALLAS, Texas (January 5, 2006) - GiveMePower Corporation, a leading innovator of next-generation computer-aided design and digital-blueprint management software for "anytime and anywhere" use on any Windows® computing platform, and NEC Solutions (America), Inc., a premier provider of integrated solutions for the Connected Enterprise in North America, today announced the signing of a letter of intent to jointly market best-of-class mobile and wireless computing solutions for retail store, construction and facilities management applications.

Under terms of the proposed agreement, NEC Solutions America and GiveMePower will jointly market and cross-sell special "turn-on-and-go" mobile and wireless hardware and software solutions, initially featuring GiveMePower's new PowerCAD® SiteMaster(TM) 2 laser-based building surveying and information management software running on NEC's sixth-generation Panel-i® 6 mobile and wireless computing terminal.

"This alliance helps extend NEC's lead in providing retail store operators and building information managers with truly productive mobility solutions that deliver major benefits across entire organizations," said Cliff Carr, national sales manager, Retail Solutions Division of NEC Solutions America. "By empowering workers with the ability to quickly and easily create and manage up-to-date floor plans and inspection drawings, businesses have better control over their store planning and facilities management needs."

With more than 100,000 units in use at leading retailers around the world, NEC's Panel-i 6 is a rugged mobile operating terminal with a large touch-screen interface that connects to back-office systems wirelessly, enabling store and building information managers to optimize business processes. Utilizing the latest Microsoft® Windows Mobile® 5.0 operating system, the Panel-i 6 provides workers with complete mobility in their daily operations to gather and process information. The convenience of a 10.4" screen, long battery life and light-weight, touch-screen operation allows the user to view and manage information more efficiently than other smaller-screen devices.

Improving the production of "as-built" floor plans, area calculations and building inspection drawings by up to 1,000% on jobs for McDonald's, Cartier, Deutsche Telecom and the US Navy, GiveMePower's PowerCAD SiteMaster 2 software greatly enhances the speed and ease by which precise building floor plans, inspection drawings and Excel®-compatible room and area reports can be produced using portable Bluetooth® wireless lasers such as the Leica DISTO(TM) Plus, to create architecturally-rich, AutoCAD®-compatible building plans in real time on the Panel-i mobile terminal.

"NEC is a world leader in the supply of mobile and wireless business solutions," said Bill Walton, president and CEO of GiveMePower Corporation. "By integrating our PowerCAD mobile design and information management software with NEC's beautifully designed Panel-i 6 mobile terminal, anyone who needs to manage their stores and production facilities can now do so much faster and easier than they could before."

PowerCAD SiteMaster is part of GiveMePower's unique family of CAD Anywhere(TM) 2D and 3D design, viewing and mobile/wireless collaboration solutions - each designed to save time and money in the office, in the field or on the shop floor. Other users benefiting from GiveMePower technologies include: AT&T, General Dynamics, Maytag, Payless ShoeSource, Penn State University, the United States Postal Service and multiple branches of the U.S. Military.

Specially priced solutions starting from under $3,000, featuring the Panel-i 6 pre-loaded with PowerCAD SiteMaster 2 and optional Leica DISTO Plus portable lasers will be available for purchase after January 9, 2006 from NEC Solutions America, GiveMePower Corporation and their authorized dealers.
