  DENVER, CO, Jan 15 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 Dean Evans & Associates (www.dea.com) today released information on sales of
their EMS facility scheduling and interactive event calendar systems for
2007.  The company finished the year with revenues up 21% over 2006, which had
been its best ever.  EMS room scheduling software is used by corporations,
higher education campuses, hospitals, churches, school districts and other
organizations to manage the scheduling of rooms, resources and services.  EMS
Master Calendar software is used to create interconnected web-based calendars
that
serve as the primary source of event information for large entities such as
universities, municipalities, corporations and school districts.

    "By itself, a 21% growth rate may seem fairly meaningless to our customers
and
prospective customers," says Kevin Raasch, the company's vice president. 
"Where an increase in revenue becomes meaningful to them is in the
enhancement of our products and services that will be funded by this record
year."

    Scheduled for the first half of 2008 is a major release of all of the
company's room and resource scheduling and online calendar systems.  "This will
be one of the most feature-rich releases we've put out in many years," says
Raasch.  "Over 500 project plan 'work items' have been completed already by our
development team and they're not finished yet.  We're confident that our
customers will be pleased with the enhancements -- which cover everything from
event-related communications to resource management to reporting -- especially
since
most of the improvements are the result of their input."

    "We've been fortunate to have a very loyal customer base. Their positive
word-of-mouth is one of the factors that have driven positive sales
figuresfor the past decade," says Raasch, noting that the average growth rate
for
the last 10 years has been over 30%, with revenues more than doubling in the
last three years.  "We look forward to another year of working with them on
the continuing evolution of our facility scheduling and calendaring products."
