Radiant Systems Acquires TimeCorp

Atlanta, June 22, 2000 -- Radiant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RADS) announced today
that it has acquired TimeCorp, a workforce management and planning software
business operation owned by VeriFone, Inc., a subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard
(NYSE: HWP).  The transaction includes the purchase of substantially all of the
assets of TimeCorp, including software products, intellectual property and
client contracts.   Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Headquartered in Atlanta, TimeCorp develops and deploys a complete suite of
workforce management applications that enable its clients to be more productive
and profitable as they compete in diverse industries such as general retail,
grocery, automotive, hotels, and food service. TimeCorp has its software
installed in more than 15,000 sites across all industries.

Erez Goren, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Radiant Systems, said,
"Workforce management is one of the most significant issues facing retailers
today. Labor accounts for one of the largest expenses in any retail operation
and employee management and retention are significant operational challenges in
these typically high turnover industries. In addition to driving labor
productivity, effective workforce management solutions help retailers more
effectively serve their customer--the consumer. To effectively recruit, retain,
and manage employees, retailers need a comprehensive enterprise wide solution."
Mr. Goren continued, "After a thorough search and analysis, we determined that
TimeCorp not only has best-in-class products, but the deep development and
management expertise necessary to continue to be a leader in this important
area."
