ACTIVE Network Takes First Place in the 2012 InformationWeek 500 IT Category

Company Recognized for Creating Cutting-Edge Smartphone Technology for Ski Resorts and Guests

San Diego, Calif., October 3, 2012 – ACTIVE Network (NYSE: ACTV), the leading provider of cloud-based Activity and Participant Management™ solutions, announced today that it has won first place on the InformationWeek 500 list in the Information Technology category, and 29th overall. The InformationWeek 500 is a list of the top technology innovators in the U.S. ACTIVE was recognized for its RTP LivePass™ technology for ski resorts.

“Earning a top spot on the InformationWeek 500 list is an important milestone for ACTIVE, and clearly reflects the talent of the world-class technology organization we are continuing to build here,” said Darko Dejanovic, president of ACTIVE Network. “RTP LivePass is just one of the many ways ACTIVE is helping to transform the global activities market, through innovative products inspired by the needs of our customers and fueled by the passion of the technologists we employ to build our products and solutions.”

RTP LivePass is a mobile commerce and content platform that helps resorts engage with their guests through a mobile interface. RTP LivePass combines the features of a typical ski pass, including a bar code and photo, with mobile commerce, social media and the ability to deliver information to guests. With LivePass, resorts can deliver a contextually-relevant experience that is commerce-enabled, location-aware and socially-connected. Skiers and snowboarders can use LivePass to purchase tickets, gain access to lifts, view resort information, access special deals and stay connected with social networks.

“The InformationWeek 500 has recognized the most innovative users of business technology for 24 years, and this year’s innovations were particularly impressive,” said InformationWeek Editor In Chief Rob Preston. “ACTIVE Network clearly demonstrated what our editors look for -- unconventional approaches, new technologies, and new ways of solving complex business problems with IT.”
