CTS North America and Esprida Corporation Demo Card
Personalization and Issuing at BAI and Cartes

Las vegas, NV - November 13, 2007 - CTS North America is demonstrating its CPS integrated card personalization and issuing system here at BAI in Booth #1845 along with Esprida Corporation, which is providing its remote management software. CTS and Esprida are also jointly demonstrating the same capabilities this week at the CARTES & IDentification 2007 Expo in Paris.

The CPS card personalization system prints, embosses, indents and encodes credit, debit, loyalty and identification cards on demand in a single station.

"The CPS line from CTS is the leading embossing and printing personalization system and the only technology that is high enough in quality to be acceptable for full financial card personalization," said Alex Trombetta, CTS North America CEO. "The demo exhibits the true power of the Esprida-enabled CPS."

Esprida Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) affords easy integration with back-end systems to make instant issuance possible for multiple types of cards – credit, debit, loyalty, I.D. and stored value. In a managed environment, users of the Esprida platform can quickly deploy CPS devices, ensure increased uptime, perform remote diagnostics and remediation and manage card personalization content. Customers benefit from a Web-based user interface to target relevant messaging, customize business rules, generate reports and analytics, integrate multiple systems and use real-time data.

"The alliance between CTS and Esprida combines our platform with their device features, to leverage the capabilities of both our companies and establish new standards for the financial services industry," said Anila Jobanputra, president of Esprida. "I am pleased to demonstrate this technology in the CTS booth at BAI and Cartes"
