Flint Hills Resources Goes Live with MRO Software's Maximo Enterprise Suite; Asset and Service Management Solution to Support M

MRO Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: MROI), the leading provider
of asset and service management solutions, today announced that Flint
Hills Resources has 'gone live' with Maximo Enterprise Suite (MXES).
   Flint Hills Resources, which is based in Wichita, Kan., has
completed the first phase of the MXES implementation at its Corpus
Christi, Texas, refining complex. The solution will replace multiple
computerized maintenance management systems and be used to track,
maintain and manage assets at refinery, chemical and terminal
complexes in Alaska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Texas and
Canada.
   The MXES architecture will allow FHR to meet the project's
objectives:

   --  Successfully replace current platforms with a single common
        solution that uses current work practices;

   --  Create a platform that enables relative ease in incorporating
        new acquisitions;

   --  Enable new functionality where it makes sense; and

   --  Leverage IT resources and spending.

   This recent implementation with FHR is further evidence of MRO
Software's on-going support for the oil and gas industries. Recently
the Company increased its commitment to the oil and gas industry by
releasing Maximo Oil & Gas on the MXES platform. This industry
specific solution helps companies reduce cost, facilitate common
processes, and ensure the toughest challenges of: improving asset
analysis, ensuring compliance, planning shutdowns, instilling
integrity management, reducing manual intervention, addressing complex
supply chain demands, facilitating continuous improvement,
standardizing and sharing data, and improving organizational learning.
   "To be successful in today's competitive refining and chemical
businesses, it is imperative that we manage our existing and planned
infrastructure in the most efficient means possible," Greg Surniak,
computerized maintenance management systems project manager for Flint
Hills Resources. "Our future vision requires us to achieve operational
excellence by quickly implementing the best maintenance practices at
existing facilities as well as new ones. In order to stay ahead of
this growth curve, we evaluated a number of solutions in the asset and
service management market and selected Maximo Enterprise Suite. We
expect that when the MXES solution is completed, we will have laid a
solid foundation for operational excellence."
   "Future project phases could then further streamline our work
processes, improve asset tracking and enhance budget accountability,
improve material processes, and reduce costs through standardization
on one software platform," added Surniak.
   The initial phase of FHR's implementation commenced with a project
team selection in Q4 2004, Maximo MXES selection in Q1 2005, and
concluded with a 'go-live' at the end of Q2 2006. Phase One includes
more than 1,100 users with an ultimate target of more than 2,400 users
once fully implemented."
   "MRO Software is committed to the Oil & Gas industry and has a
dedicated group of resources focused on the segment. This includes a
separate development group and an Advisory Council that align with
industry direction. The MXES architecture enables MRO Software to
develop functionality very rapidly. We are able to work with our
customers and quickly bring to market functional enhancements to
address industry specific requirements", said Johan Arts, vice
president - industry & solutions Marketing, MRO Software. "In the
past, specific functional requirements of various business groups
prevented consolidation of asset management systems. Upstream
exploration & production and downstream refining all ended up
selecting their own asset management solutions. The strength of the
MXES platform combined with the industry specific functionality allows
companies to now implement a single, enterprise level solution for all
of their critical assets."
