ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 20, 2004

Alliance Enables Enterprise Asset Management Connectivity and

Automated Supply Chain Management

Indus International Inc. (NASDAQ: IINT), a leading provider of Service Delivery Management(TM) solutions, today announced a strategic alliance with EntComm, a world-class provider of intra- and inter-enterprise collaboration technology and solutions. The partnership leverages the capabilities of EntComm's Resonance Suite(TM) of collaborative applications to deliver real-time supply chain collaboration and application-to-application (A2A) integration solutions to Indus' clients - as well as integration to electronic market places via the IndusBuyDemand(TM) electronic procurement tool. The announcement was made at the IndusWorld 2004 user conference.

"We are constantly seeking means to bring even greater value to our clients with our Service Delivery Management Solutions, and extending the benefits of SDM across our clients' supply chain is an area of focus in this initiative," said Indus President and Chief Executive Officer Greg Dukat. "EntComm's technology and products are a logical fit for Indus clients to obtain value-added functionality, such as procurement automation and vendor managed inventory (VMI). Their solutions integrate seamlessly with Indus' systems and readily bring about real-time visibility and supply chain event management (SCEM) capabilities to their operations. As a result, the biggest beneficiaries of this alliance will be our present and future clients."

"We are very pleased to partner with Indus in bringing supply chain collaboration to their clients," says Sundar Ramayya, EntComm's President & CEO. "Organizations seeking to collaborate with their suppliers or even consolidate and allocate across multiple instances of Indus systems can now achieve their objectives within tangible and deeply shortened time-frames. This partnership is certainly a win-win-win for Indus, EntComm, and, most important of all, our clients."

The partnership stems from work for mutual client Transocean, who engaged EntComm to deliver e-collaboration with their Indus EMPAC(TM) system. The installation of EntComm's Resonance solution serves as the collaboration layer between Transocean and its suppliers. Transocean is the world's largest offshore drilling contractor.
