InGrid, the leader in digital home protection services, today announced that the company has selected Laszlo Systems, the original developer of OpenLaszlo, a leading open source rich Internet development platform, as its user interface development and design partner for its consumer web application, www.ingridhome.com.

"Our recent introduction of an entirely new category of digital home security products and services was tailored specifically to dramatically expand the home security market by improving the consumer experience," said Fred Siegel, InGrid's Chief Marketing Officer. "Laszlo Studios delivered effective results that streamline how consumers interact with InGrid's many home protection features in record time."

InGrid is the only home protection solution that delivers the full benefits of broadband connectivity. Consumer oriented features include a complete suite of services designed to enhance customer control, including a portable handset which can also function as a cordless digital phone, digital system consoles, and web-based access through a PC or mobile phone. With "myingrid", InGrid enables consumers to customize their home protection system and have complete control over several monitoring options through their personal web portal.

Laszlo Studios, the custom application development arm of Laszlo Systems, developed the elegant, intuitive user interface of myingrid. Without changing any of the back-office and device functions that make the InGrid system so cost effective, Laszlo built a unique interactive control panel with customizable windows and consoles for each home security monitoring function available, along with in-line help. In addition, OpenLaszlo's native-browser support enables consumers to monitor their systems from any web browser or mobile device.

"InGrid is a great example of a true innovator capitalizing on the potential of OpenLaszlo to deliver a powerful online experience," said Kent Libbey, Laszlo's Chief Marketing Officer. "We look forward to working with InGrid in the future, particularly as they look to have a profound impact on the security systems industry through their unique offerings. There is immense potential for jointly delivering our integrated solutions to broadband providers - many of whom are now searching for personalized bundled solutions that deliver real value to today's demanding consumers."

Laszlo Systems is a global leader in rich Internet application (RIA) software, services and solutions. OpenLaszlo, the company's flagship open source RIA development platform, has been adopted by more than a dozen companies listed on the 2006 Fortune 100, as well as by tens of thousands of developers worldwide.
