Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Apparel Magazine
Award Inovis with Top Honors

ATLANTA — August 7, 2006 — Inovis today announced that the company has been recognized for its innovations in the supply and demand chain, as well as its continued growth and customer appreciation in the software industry. Supply & Demand Chain Executive named Inovis one of the magazine's top 100 innovative supply and demand chain vendors, while Apparel magazine placed Inovis in its Software Scorecard, the industry's first head-to-head ranking of the top software vendors in the apparel/retail industry.

"Inovis has always been committed to pushing the boundaries in the solutions that we provide to all markets, and we believe that customer satisfaction is our most important measure of success," said Sean Feeney, president and CEO of Inovis. "Inovis' dedication to our customers and our industry has helped us become a recognized leader in the marketplace as noted by leading publications such as Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Apparel magazine."

"Our goal with this year's '100' is to highlight a broad range of innovations taking place in the theory and practice of supply chain transformation," said Andrew K. Reese, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "Therefore, our judging committee looked for solutions across a variety of industries, addressing the needs of companies of varying sizes, and assisting in the transformation of a diverse mix of the functions that make up the supply chain."

The 2006 Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100 identifies the leading providers of supply chain services and technologies who are at the forefront of innovation. Based on submissions to the "100" from end users and solution providers, the judging committee for the "100," including the editorial staff of the magazine, in conjunction with the editorial advisory board, compiled the list of leading supply and demand chain innovators.

"In launching this research and report, we felt it was critical to gauge the users' experiences and feedback," said Apparel's editor in chief, Kathleen DesMarteau. "Being on the list equates to not only having a strong focus on the apparel marketplace, but most importantly, having a happy and engaged customer base."

Apparel's Software Scorecard was based on votes from apparel professionals responsible for IT decisions. The scorecard ranks vendors on a combination of customer satisfaction and breadth and scope of apparel solutions and business, with customer satisfaction weighted at 60 percent. 12 key metrics that executives evaluated as part of customer satisfaction were: 1) overall performance, 2) understanding of apparel-specific business issues, 3) ROI, 4) strategic value, 5) ease of upgrading, 6) ease of installation, 7) ease of integration, 8) ease of administration/maintenance, 9) quality of support, 10) quality of service, 11) user friendliness and 12) long-term vision. A vendor's final ranking on the scorecard is based on the sum of points received for breadth and scope of applications and points for revenue and the average total points received for customer satisfaction.
