MRO Software Launches Next Phase of MXES Roll Out With MXES Mobile Suite; Maximo Enterprise Suite's new mobile solution seamless

MRO Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: MROI), the leading provider
of asset and service management solutions, today announced the
availability of its new line of mobile-enabled solutions for its
Maximo Enterprise Suite (MXES). This new solution was designed from
the ground up within the MXES architecture, and supports companies'
efforts to significantly cut the time, cost, paperwork and delays of
servicing mission-critical assets in a distributed environment. MXES
Mobile Suite allows for employees to be more productive by enabling
them to efficiently perform critical work, and access critical asset
and process data wherever and whenever needed, using handheld devices
and mobile phones.
   MXES Mobile represents the next phase of the Company's roll out of
MXES solutions. These mobile solutions are designed and built into the
MXES service-oriented architecture. The mobile solution lets customers
take full advantage of MXES's workflow, business rules, business
objects and easy application configuration, without the need for
third-party solutions. These new solutions seamlessly extend the reach
and accessibility of the core MXES functionality, allowing remote
users to benefit from the enhanced asset and service management
capabilities that MXES delivers.
   "Our research shows that users will not accept critical business
applications unless they are available on a mobile platform. The
ability to provide the full functionality to the remote user enhances
application usability and criticality. Vendors that can provide this
complete capability stand to benefit by gaining a greater wallet
share," said Michael Maoz, Vice President, Research Fellow, Gartner
Inc.
   Initial applications for the MXES Mobile Suite include the Maximo
Mobile for Work Management, which provides remote, real-time access to
work and asset data necessary to complete work and service management
tasks, and Maximo Mobile for Inventory Management, which gives
paperless inventory and receiving control.
   "A recent ARC survey identified the use of mobile solutions for
asset management as an important trend that can increase productivity
and improve workflow when properly deployed," said Houghton LeRoy,
Research Director at ARC Advisory Group. "The new embedded MXES Mobile
Suite from MRO Software better addresses productivity and workflow by
downloading only what is needed and by working with or without a live
connection with minimal disruption. A practical design positions PDAs
for the more complex work order and inventory management functions and
limits cell phone usage to simple communications such as dispatching
and notification. Since the MXES Mobile Suite is developed and
embedded by MRO Software, customers should not have to deal with
costly incompatibility issues that require partner solution updates."

   Seamless connectivity, improved productivity

   The new connected and disconnected features of the MXES Mobile
platform allows the mobile applications to dynamically connect to the
server as required, based on user profiles and available wireless
connectivity. The MXES Mobile Suite enables employees to both capture
data in the field during maintenance or inventory procedures, as well
as providing dynamic access to critical and related information about
those procedures. At the same time, managers can assign and
re-prioritize work as necessary in real-time and manage and receive
valuable, up-to-the-minute information about field service
performance.
   "Enterprise customers need a reliable mobile solution to improve
employee productivity, this next phase of our MXES roll-out provides
that solution," said Patricia C. Foye, executive vice president global
marketing and alliances at MRO Software. "Customers now have a single,
familiar, easy-to-use interface with access to the critical asset and
service management functionality that a distributed workforce needs."
   Using open standards and a Java(TM) 2 Micro Edition (J2ME(TM))
runtime profiles, MRO Software has combined the portability of Java
technology with open, industry standards to deliver a comprehensive
solution for extending many of the MXES existing business processes
onto mobile devices. MXES Mobile Suite's work management and inventory
applications run on Microsoft Windows Mobile-based devices. Cell
phone-based applications based on light-weight java profile are
scheduled for release later this year.
