Press Release Summary = ETO Manufacturers Workflow Simplified with Real-time Data

Press Release Body = Chuck Stewart, Executive Vice President with Encompix ETO ERP
software noted, "Workflow Management simplifies production. Based on their security
clearance, Encompix offers employees real-time data they can use to perform daily
tasks. Encompix has been designed around the expected workflow of engineer-to-order
and make-to-order manufacturers, making it simpler for people to perform normal
business processes."

Real-time data automates workflow management for processes used by engineer- and
made-to-order manufacturers.

Specific benefits:
. Once the job BOM is established the engineers have the option to release the BOM
to purchasing.
. The parts become immediately available to the buyer so he can place the purchase
order.
. Upon receipt of the purchased goods, those goods flagged for inspection divert
immediately to the inspector\'s \"What Do I Need to Inspect Today?\" screen.
. Material is either assigned to WIP or inventory or immediately returned to the
vendor.

In addition to the real time foundation, Encompix provides an \"Alert Messaging
System,\" to facilitate communication among users throughout the work flow process.
Encompix includes many standard alerts that may be activated for one or more users
of the system. Additional alerts can be setup and customized to specific workflow
tasks.

Encompix (www.encompix.com) has filled the manufacturing software requirements of
Engineer-to-Order companies since 1992. The company name reflects the commitment to
developing business application solutions that encompass the complex areas of
project-based and job-based manufacturing. Encompix provides ETO manufacturers
with a competitive advantage by improving bottom line results.

According to Thomas R. Cutler, spokesperson for the ETO Institute
(www.etoinstitute.org), "Encompix continues to capture significant marketshare in
the ETO environment because few other ERP vendors truly understand the nuances and
significant distinctions of the ETO process versus the repetitive manufacturing
process. Encompix now has more than 200 of the leading ETO manufacturing firms in
North America using their ERP Software solution."
