Adigida's HomeHubConnect Powers Ultimate Family Home Calendar

HomeHubConnect's interactive applications are the perfect solution to manage today's demanding schedules for families while providing home builders and real estate professionals with a unique, interactive client retention program.

Minneapolis — January 19, 2004 — Today Adigida Solutions announced the deployment of a prototype “Family Calendar” that is being demonstrated at the Ultimate Family Home for Best Buy's Networked Home Solutions group. HomeHubConnect's interactive tools are used to create the “Family Calendar” and other home management tools for Best Buy's use in the Home which is being shown at the International Builders Show starting today in Las Vegas.

The Family Calendar, Family Address Book, and Family Inventory provide families with a central location to manage their busy schedules. These items are being used in the Family Command Center , located next to the Kitchen, in the Ultimate Family Home; and consist of a subset of tools from Adigida's HomeHubConnect client retention portal product for home builders and real estate professionals. The tools provide a simple and effective way for homeowners to document and track their family's commitments and possessions which can be accessed anytime, anywhere over the Internet.

“It was an honor to be selected by Best Buy's Networked Home Solutions group to create the Family Command Center ,” said Richard Kalman, president of Adigida Solutions. “With their focus on providing unique, value-add solutions to their home builder partners, we were excited to have the opportunity to work with an organization that matches our mission of providing innovative marketing solutions that focus on maintaining long-term relationships between home builders, real estate professionals, and their clients.”

“The showcase home is an ideal environment to demonstrate Best Buy's Networked Home Solutions, and the ‘Family Calendar' idea is one more extension of making home management easier for consumers to use,” said Thom Sandberg, A/V product manager for Best Buy's Networked Home Solutions group. “Adigida Solutions was able to deliver an intuitive, customer-friendly solution to help families organize and manage their busy lifestyles.”
