Bakersfield Association of REALTORS® SIMI VALLEY, Calif., June 5, 2009 – Rapattoni Corporation announced today that the Golden Empire MLS, Inc. located in Bakersfield, CA, has extended its agreement with Rapattoni for MLS services. Bakersfield has been using the Rapattoni MLS since 2002.

The extended agreement includes the implementation of RSA® Adaptive Authentication as the security technology for the Rapattoni MLS logon experience. This new technology eliminates the need for agents to carry a security token and improves the level of security. RSA® Adaptive Authentication is an intelligent system that authenticates users by monitoring a series of risk indicators in real time. This transparent authentication provides for a superior user experience as agents are only challenged in higher risk cases. This technology is embedded in the Rapattoni Identity Portal, allowing Rapattoni MLS customers to fine tune the fraud detection models used.

Linda Vernon, executive officer for the Bakersfield Association of REALTORS®, said, "We are so pleased that Rapattoni is able to bring this advanced technology to our MLS. The increased convenience will be most appreciated by our members."

"We are proud of our long term relationship with the Bakersfield Association of REALTORS®," said Nick Rapattoni, president of Rapattoni Corporation. "In addition to the Rapattoni MLS, Bakersfield has been a customer of our association management product since 1995."

Rapattoni's current market share of MLS users in California is just over 50% and growing.
