ATLANTA - JUNE 16, 2005 - Onity, the leading global provider of electronic control solutions for lodging applications, has announced the promotion of two top executives at the company's North American headquarters in Atlanta. The changes are the result of several key factors, including a rapidly expanding customer and installation base, as well as the explosive growth of their energy management division.

Adam Yapkowitz, Onity's vice president of marketing for North America, has been chosen to lead the company's energy management division, Senercomm(R). In addition to his current duties overseeing all marketing activities for the company's expansive product portfolio, Adam will now take on responsibility for all energy management activities, including global sales, project management, product research and development. In this expanded role, he will continue to head up North American marketing and product management worldwide.

The increased focus on the Onity / Senercomm(R) brand is a result of the hospitality industry trend toward energy conservation and cost containment over the past several years. Since acquiring Senercomm(R) in January 2002, Onity has experienced tremendous success in the hotel sector. This is due in part to rapidly rising energy costs and increased awareness in the industry, as hoteliers more closely scrutinize their energy usage and look for advanced technological solutions to reduce their utility expenditures.

As Onity has gained market share in energy management, the company's customer and installation base has also expanded rapidly across all markets, necessitating an increased focus on customer operations. To that end, Bill Oliver has been promoted to vice president of sales and operations for North America. In his current role as the company's vice president of sales, Bill oversees the growing sales force for Onity's commercial, hospitality, premier accounts, and inside sales divisions. In addition, Bill will now oversee all customer-facing operations, project management, and installation services for the company.
