OpenTech Alliance Inc. today announced that Shurgard Storage
Centers Inc. (NYSE:SHU), a leading self-storage real estate
investment trust (REIT) in the United States and Europe, installed
INSOMNIAC(TM) self-storage kiosks at four of its facilities in the
Chicago area this last December. The new INSOMNIAC kiosks, located
in downtown Chicago, Willowbrook, Bolingbrook and Dolton, are a
second round of kiosk purchases after a successful pilot at several
Shurgard facilities in Arizona earlier last year. "After seeing
INSOMNIAC kiosks work at Shurgard facilities in Arizona and how
they have improved business, we were eager to install them in the
Chicago area," said Jeff Szorik, regional vice president for
Shurgard. "We're extremely excited about their ability to
facilitate additional rental income outside normal office hours
while providing added customer convenience." "We're delighted our
relationship with Shurgard continues to grow and expand," said
Robert Chiti, OpenTech's president and CEO. "We're happy to be
working with innovators like Shurgard to bring the benefits of
self-service kiosks to self-storage operators. We believe INSOMNIAC
will do for self-storage what ATMs and boarding pass kiosks have
done for the banking and airline industries." OpenTech Alliance
Inc. is the leading developer of self-storage kiosks. OpenTech's
INSOMNIAC kiosks enable customers to rent units, make payments,
purchase locks, and update their accounts 24 hours a day on their
own without a manager's assistance. For more information about
