Inovis Webware is easy to use and features flexible, pay-as-you-go pricing to bring e-commerce capabilities to companies of any size

ATLANTA, GA—October 17, 2007 — Inovis today unveiled Inovis Webware™, an email-like form solution that allows small and medium sized companies to participate in trading communities when they do not have the time, internal IT staff or money to install and run a complete e-business platform. Inovis Webware helps businesses of any size simply use Internet browser-based forms to work with companies that want to purchase goods. For purchasing companies or "hubs," Inovis Webware makes it possible to connect electronically with all trading partners. View a Inovis Webware demo or solution page.

Inovis Webware is the next phase of Inovis' Business Community Management strategy. By forming electronic connections between all members of a trading community, companies of all sizes can benefit from automation, visibility and collaboration built on a foundation of high-quality, reliable electronic communication. Inovis Webware leverages the Inovis Multienterprise Expert Services Hub (MESH) platform (MESH press release and white paper) and the Inovisworks™ application that will support mission critical transactions for every company, regardless of size.

There are no e-business skills required to use and no investment in technology beyond a browser to instantly be compliant with all trading partners. Webware is affordable, as easy to use as email, and meets the strictest compliance standards of the major purchasing companies or "hubs." For hubs companies, Inovis Webware processes trading partner transactions though their Inovisworks interface that is most likely already in place with back office systems. As a result, transactions from the largest or the smallest partner look the same.

With fully automated trading communities, the stage is set for better visibility through the supply chain that drives more profitability, customer loyalty and responsiveness to the changing global business landscape.

"This Business Community Management extension will really help smaller companies pick up the pace and participate in the global economy just like their larger counterparts, without any specialized skills or technology," said Steve Cochran, Inovis' Chief Technology Officer. "The best part is, whether it's Inovisworks or Inovis Webware, any of the BCM solutions will save our customers time, frustration and money while accelerating their community engagement, allowing them to focus on their core value, not ours."

Small-office and home-office companies in addition to small and mid-sized suppliers will appreciate:

• An easy-to-use web-based solution, simple as email, but giving them many of the electronic trading capabilities the largest global manufacturers and suppliers have had for years
• Fast and easy account setup. Users will also be able to easily determine who is in their trading community and begin business to business electronic trading immediately
• Greater and immediate access to details of transactions is available through a single interface that delivers greater visibility across the supply chain
• A solution that is scaled to grow as their business grows

What Inovis Webware means to supply chain purchasers or hubs:

• The ability to configure, manage and control forms for their community
• The ability to continue to use Inovisworks as their control point for their community, but enable their smaller partners to conduct compliant e-business easily
• 99.995% data center uptime and disaster recovery capability for all trading partners at no additional cost
• Customization and control of forms for specific transactions - leveraging their own unique business processes to drive industry standard documents
