Michael F. Snyder Joins Proximex Advisory Board

Former ADT and Vonage Holdings Executive Sees Strength in
Proximex's Exceptional System Deployment and Customer Service

Sunnyvale, CA (Business Wire) – February 16, 2010 – Proximex, the leading developer of award-winning products for the physical security information management (PSIM) market, is pleased to announce today that consultant and former security executive Michael F. Snyder has joined the Proximex Advisory Board. The Proximex Advisory Board is the first board Snyder has joined in the security industry since leaving ADT in 2006. This announcement follows the January news that Bill Crowell, former Silicon Valley CEO and NSA Deputy Director, also joined the Proximex Advisory Board. Together, the Proximex Advisory Board brings extraordinary expertise in the areas of both physical and logical security.

"I’m very impressed with the Proximex strategies to deliver the best in PSIM today while preparing companies for future security integrations," said Michael F. "Mike" Snyder. "This company has a unique ability to provide exceptional system deployment and customer service while bringing PSIM benefits to the business level by extending the life of major portions of embedded security expenditures and, thereby, stretching budgets and making security purchases last longer. Proximex is also looking ahead to guide companies on integrating information from other business applications and systems. I believe that focusing on the customer is an integral part of success so I look forward to helping Proximex expand and deliver on these important market strategies."

Mr. Snyder is most well-known in the security industry for his tenure at ADT Security Services which spanned 30 years. Starting as a sales representative, Mr. Snyder held several management positions, culminating in the role of President and Chief Operating Officer for North America in 1997, a position he held for nearly ten years. During this decade at ADT, Mr. Snyder grew revenues more than 6-fold along with industry-leading levels of free cash flow and operating income. Utilizing an aggressive and balanced strategy of direct and indirect distribution, numerous acquisitions, market segmentation and new product development, ADT grew its customer base within North America to more than 6 million customers. In addition, the ADT Call Center and Service Strategy was developed and deployed, resulting in the highest customer satisfaction in company history.

"We’re extremely pleased that Mike agreed to join our Board," said Jack Smith, chief executive officer for Proximex. "Mike’s experience with physical security technology, customer acquisition and retention, and strategic program development is hard to beat, and we look forward to his strategic insight, practical guidance and leveraging the relationships that he has built. With both Mike and Bill’s guidance, Proximex will continue to deliver on the needs of the physical security market."

Currently, Mr. Snyder is a partner with GSC Consultants, a management consulting firm for service industry companies that focuses on growth and strategy development within the private equity and security markets. Prior to GSC, Mr. Snyder was the CEO and Director of Vonage Holdings Inc. where he led the efforts for its successful IPO, next phase planning and development, and structured and built the plans and programs to drive growth and profitability.
