ATLANTA -- Indus Foundation Architecture Provides Platform for Consolidated Solution

Indus International Inc. (NASDAQ: IINT), a leading provider of Service Delivery Management (SDM)(TM) solutions, today announced the introduction and delivery of Indus Asset Suite(TM), a new asset management software solution featuring a highly tailorable user interface based on a Services-Oriented Architecture. The new solution is available and shipping to customers now.

The Indus Asset Suite incorporates key capabilities of both Indus PassPort(TM) and Indus InSite(TM), consolidating nearly 30 years of asset management software development expertise into a single solution. Indus Asset Suite combines its industry-leading feature set with an advanced architecture and a new user interface offering a self-evident design for ease of use and tailorability to fit a variety of business practices. Furthermore, the solution's wide array of predefined integrations to Indus and third-party applications allows companies' entire workforces to deliver improved efficiencies and better, faster business decisions throughout the enterprise.

"The enhanced Indus Asset Suite reaffirms our commitment to, and leadership in, asset management in core markets such as utilities and manufacturing," said Indus President and CEO Greg Dukat. "Furthermore, it delivers a key component of our Service Delivery Management vision which is enabling companies in telecommunications, high-tech, managed services and other high-growth markets to improve workforce efficiencies, drive top-line revenue growth and enhance profitability by reinventing their service offerings."

Indus Foundation Architecture Delivers Application Agility

The Indus Asset Suite solution is based on the Indus Foundation Architecture(TM), a new convergent technology strategy that provides common tools across all Indus suites to deliver a common interface and software platform. Developed using a Service-Orientated Architecture, the Indus Foundation Architecture provides enhanced configurability and agility to meet rapidly evolving business needs. In addition, it offers a low total cost of ownership for Indus Service Delivery Management solutions by enabling organizations to harness best-of-breed, process-oriented business applications for asset, customer and service management with minimum effort and expense for integration and training.

Indus Asset Suite delivers a personal user interface that includes role and rule-based content and workflow-based navigation and is configurable for the individual user. Design techniques for the Indus Asset Suite user interface incorporate human factors and industry best practices for an intuitive, visually compelling environment. Productivity and usability aids to improve the user experience include hover tips, pop-ups, wizards and drop-down lists. In addition, simplified workflows that optimize the workflow of routine tasks eliminate the need for the user to have detailed Indus Asset Suite knowledge.

Early Adopter Program Facilitates Innovative Design

Indus leveraged input from many of its most innovative clients via an early adopter program to develop the new user interface for the Indus Asset Suite. The program attracted clients from multiple industries including Basin Electric, British Energy, Duke Power, Energy NorthWest, Exelon, Kuwait Oil Company, Ontario Power Generation, Progress Energy, Smurfit Stone Container Corporation and Xcel Energy.

"We are extremely pleased with the features of the new interface and excited about participating with a group of industry-leading organizations to contribute to its design," said Keith Cooke, Manager - Asset Suite Project at Progress Energy, a participant in the program. "The intuitiveness of the design and the ability to tailor the interface to each user's specific work requirements are important features. We feel this new interface will enable organizations such as ours to push the new Indus Asset Suite to additional users across the enterprise -- further improving our productivity and efficiency and positively impacting our bottom line."

Connor Gray, Indus vice president of product strategy, added, "Our product strategy is not only to make our software easier to use; it is to design software that makes users more productive and efficient, resulting in the transformational business change that is the hallmark of Indus solutions. We are thrilled with the level of enthusiasm for this initiative. Client input combined with extensive usability engineering, design and testing has resulted in a powerful yet intuitive design capable of supporting both power users and casual users to make their work easier and more productive."
