Clark County School District Goes Live with MRO Software's Maximo Enterprise Suite; Asset and Service Management Solution to Support Rapid School Growth; Company Increases Commitment to Public Sector Market.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- MRO Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: MROI), the leading provider of asset and service management solutions, today announced that the Clark County School District (CCSD) in Las Vegas, Nev., one of the nation's largest districts, has gone live with Maximo Enterprise Suite (MXES).

CCSD has completed the first phase of the MXES implementation. The solution will be used to track, maintain and manage school facilities, vehicles, inventory and supplies used to manage the 325 school facilities contained in the district's approximately 8,000 square miles. Later phases of the implementation will include bar-coding and mobility applications. The MXES implementation will replace several legacy systems, and is expected to become the principal work planning and facilities asset management solution for CCSD, eventually managing approximately 80,000 to 100,000 assets.

The MXES architecture enables the application to be hosted at one central location while supporting the business processes and information needs at geographically dispersed locations. Later phases of the roll out will leverage the solution's architectural flexibility to integrate MXES into the district's financial software system. The new system, when complete, is expected to deliver more accurate and timely cost information, eliminate duplicate data entry and facilitate improved work order management. The team will use the solution to increase facility uptime and reliability through a greater emphasis on preventive maintenance.

"As one of the nation's fastest growing school districts, it's imperative that we manage our existing and planned infrastructure in the most efficient means possible," said Randy Shingleton, director of maintenance, CCSD. "Our current plans call for the construction of approximately a dozen schools each year to keep pace with this region's growth. In order to stay ahead of this growth curve we evaluated a number of solutions in the asset and service management market and selected Maximo Enterprise Suite. We expect that when the MXES project is completed, we will be able to streamline our work processes, improve asset tracking and enhance budget accountability, improve material processes, and reduce costs through standardization on one software platform."

This recent go-live with CCSD is further evidence of MRO Software's on going support for the public sector market. During the past year the company has increased its commitment to the market by merging its federal government group with its state and local groups into a new public sector industry group. The company has added new resources and software functionality aimed at helping federal, state and local government agencies better manage their critical infrastructure assets at a time of shrinking staffs and budgets.

In addition to providing industry expertise, the public sector group is able to offer new capabilities and best practices tailored for government agency applications. These include improved facilities capabilities, improved mobile functionality, a geographic information system (GIS) module that provides a spatial framework for managing geographically dispersed assets, and an enhanced linear asset management system that enables customers with assets such as railways, roads and pipelines to improve their safety, reliability and maintenance costs.

"We're pleased to be able to help Clark County better meet its growth challenges and provide a quality learning environment for the students, " said Mark Gruzin, vice president, public sector group, MRO Software. "These agencies and entities are under increasing pressure to improve labor efficiencies, and the performance of facilities, fleets and other assets, all while satisfying new regulatory requirements. Money spent maintaining roads, trains, buses, cars, schools, utilities, government buildings, and information technology represent significant taxpayer investments. Our customers have found that our solutions can be effective in meeting these requirements. The public sector group, in combination with our proven Maximo Enterprise Suite solution can help this critical market to meet these goals."

Existing MRO Software customers in the public sector market have recognized the benefits derived from Maximo implementations. The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has tapped MRO Software's public sector expertise to help it provide planning, engineering, construction, maintenance and repair, and operations support for its schools and other infrastructure assets. Other recent customers include the City of Jacksonville, Georgia Department of Administrative Services, Gwinnett County Public Schools, Lower Colorado River Authority, McCarran International Airport, Orange County Public Works, Sacramento Regional Wastewater, Sarasota County Government, Sandia National Laboratory and the U.S. Air Force.

About Clark County School District

As the fifth-largest and one of the fastest-growing school districts in the nation, the Clark County School District (CCSD) expects to serve more than 300,000 students in the fall of 2006. For the past 10 years, CCSD has welcomed approximately 12,000 new students a year with no sign of slowing in the future. The projections made by the district historically have been very accurate - predicting student populations with an error rate of less than one percent.

CCSD has one of the most aggressive building programs anywhere in the nation - building more schools (160) in the past 15 years than any other school district in the country. In November 1998, county voters approved $3.5 billion in funding for a 10-year building program. With these funds, the district promised to build new schools, renovate existing schools, acquire land for future school sites and provide two new bus yards.

Schools built in the last decade have won Excellence in Design awards from the American Institute of Architects Nevada, two Awards of Excellence from the National School Board Association, the Monarch Award (among others) from the Council for Educational Facility Planners International, and the Learning Environment Award from the National Supply and Equipment Association.
