NRF CONFERENCE – NEW YORK, NY — January 17, 2005 — Inovis, a leading provider of business-to-business solutions and services, announced today a partnership with Tourtellotte Consulting, a software development consulting company. With this partnership, Tourtellotte will work with Inovis to provide additional development, support and implementation capabilities for the Inovis Sourcing product, which Inovis acquired through its merger with QRS Corporation. Tourtellotte will also focus on delivering customer-specific professional services as well as participate with the Inovis product management team to define a value added long term roadmap for the product.

Inovis Sourcing is a comprehensive transaction and collaborative tracking solution for the global sourcing and importing lifecycle. The solution helps retail companies calculate costs, select suppliers, manage changes, and automate business processes including purchase order management, letter of credit (LOC) management, and international shipment tracking.

“This relationship allows Inovis to bring significantly more resources to bear on meeting our customers’ current and long term needs,” said Michael Croxton, senior vice president of Marketing and Product Management for Inovis. “Between Inovis and Tourtellotte, we will be building a significant ‘virtual team’ with deep product knowledge and established customer relationships. We are very pleased to have a partner that can help Inovis deliver a viable path to protect our customers’ investment in the product.”

“With the elimination of quotas in 2005, percentage of imports will increase, thus the complexity of the business transactions will increase. Inovis Sourcing has tremendous potential to help companies manage this opportunity leading to reduced cycle times, improved gross margin and increased supply chain visibility,” said Edward Tourtellotte, President and CEO of Tourtellotte Consulting. “Our Tourtellotte and Inovis resources will be fully integrated, and we are extremely focused on providing the service and support our customers need to leverage from their investment in this powerful solution.”

The Tourtellotte team will be led by Cindy DiTullio, a senior partner with Tourtellotte Consulting and former Rockport/QRS employee who has worked with the product and its customers for over six years.
