Deer Park, N.Y. Wednesday, September 29, 1999 - QuesTec Imaging, Inc. (NASD-BB: QSTI) has signed a three-year Strategic Alliance and System Integration Agreement with SISCOM, Inc. (NASD-BB: SATI) of Boulder, Colorado. Under this agreement, SISCOM and QuesTec will work together to enhance and develop new information and display solutions for mainstream professional sports. SISCOM brings a wealth of experience in high- performance database management, logging retrieval, coaching and statistical software to QuesTec’s existing data capture, virtual replay and eSports(TM) technology.

SISCOM and QuesTec will complement each other’s areas of expertise, to create real-time digital capture, motion-tracking and display systems that can be used for athletic development and evaluation, scoring, sports analysis, television production, internet broadband distribution and other media convergence.

"SISCOM relishes the latent potential which arises from the layering of our analytic data mining tools upon QuesTec’s field-proven telemetric acquisition capabilities. Together we can automatically repurpose existing client video assets with unparalleled efficiency, flexibility and economy so as to synthesize electronic media products in real-time for focused delivery. The synergy between the businesses of QuesTec and SISCOM is phenomenal, further, the technology combination is readily applicable to many new opportunities, both business-to-business and business-to-consumer", said Michael J. Ellis, SISCOM Chairman and CEO.

We have been communicating and working together for over a year now; the symmetry and complementary technologies are truly dynamic.
