Avexus 8 Series Unveiled at MRO 2005; Enables Complex Asset Management Through Collaborative Network; Phase One of Avexus 8 Series Launch Includes Visibility and Asset Management & Operations.

SAN DIEGO -- Avexus, Inc., a leading provider of solutions and services to companies that own, operate or maintain complex, high value assets, today announced the availability of Avexus 8 Series to meet the growing demands of the aviation and aerospace markets. The launch of Avexus 8 Series is being announced in conjunction with MRO 2005 in Dallas April 19-21. Demonstrations of Avexus 8 Series and other Avexus solutions will be available at the company's booth (1402) during MRO 2005 exhibition hours.

Avexus 8 Series builds upon the success of current Avexus solutions implemented around the world across multiple market segments: OEMs, owners & operators, MRO enterprises and suppliers. Avexus 8 Series solutions and services are built on a common technology platform, the AvexNet(TM) Framework, which is built on modern J2EE technology that provides for flexible web-based solution deployments. Enhanced functionality provides customers with best practice business process workflows that can be deployed in a modular fashion. Avexus 8 series is being launched in a phased approach. The 1st phase of solutions being launched from the 8 Series are:

--Avexus Asset Management & Operations

--Integrated asset control, visibility, planning and scheduling

--Comprehensive technical management of complex assets in one closed-loop process, from scheduling to operations and execution

--Global enterprise-wide access to all assets, allowing owners to track their investments in real time

--Advanced planning and scheduling that integrates all variables into one model for informed planning and scheduling

--Avexus Visibility

--A single site to gather all relevant information from all Avexus solutions

--Executive dashboard that can be customized by the user

--Scheduled alerts

--Support of reusable workflows that can be configured by business process and shared throughout the enterprise or to specific groups

--Integration with existing corporate infrastructure

"Avexus 8 Series was developed to bring our clients and prospects the latest technology that combines ease-of-use for the technicians and operators, with network connectivity outside the enterprise," said Avexus President and CEO Richard Bergmann. "Today the entire aviation industry needs to have real-time information and the ability to collaborate with their community of suppliers and service providers. Avexus 8 Series solutions can be implemented stand alone or within a client's current software infrastructure, leveraging their existing technology investments."

Avexus solutions manage the key business processes across the lifecycle of an asset: from manufacturing, procurement, scheduling and operations to maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO). The solutions enable everyone who touches the asset -- manufacturers, owners, operators, and aftermarket service providers -- to increase profitability of their operations through increased asset visibility, better utilization of capacity, and reduced costs through their supply chain.

Additional 8 Series solution launches will be phased monthly through 2005.
