MRO Software's Maximo Enterprise Suite Helps Boost Britain's Shipping Ports' Capacity and Competitiveness

MRO Software (Nasdaq: MROI), the leading provider of
asset and service management solutions, today announced that Hutchison
Ports (UK) Limited (HPUK), part of the world's largest container port
company, Hutchison Ports Holdings (HPH), is deploying Maximo
Enterprise Suite (MXES) (TM) at three of its ports in Britain. This
agreement was signed during MRO Software's second fiscal quarter ended
March 31, 2006.
   At a time when 95 percent of Britain's foreign trade flows through
ports which are approaching full capacity, HPUK needs to boost the
efficiency of moving containers on and off ships to accommodate
growing business. Massive ship-to-shore gantry cranes, rail lines,
tugs, forklifts, terminal facilities and other assets must operate
around-the-clock in carefully orchestrated procedures to ensure ships
are loaded and unloaded quickly while keeping workers safe. Any
breakdown in the process causes significant revenue loss and critical
bottlenecks for ship traffic into and out of the ports. To help ensure
an efficient process, HPUK will use MXES at its Felixstowe, Harwich
and Thamesport ports to ensure critical assets operate at non-stop,
peak performance.
   MXES will enable HPUK to manage all aspects of its strategic
assets, including planning, procurement, deployment, tracking,
maintenance and equipment retirement. It will replace a 20-year-old,
mainframe-based asset management system that handled historical
information sufficiently, but was unable to scale to handle the
company's growing business. It also lacked functionality such as
automated workflow, service management and analysis capabilities
necessary for pre-emptive maintenance and fast problem resolution.
   HPUK has over 250 maintenance technicians working in shifts
around-the-clock, processing approximately 1,500 work orders per week.
With an asset base ever-growing in scale, and complexity, MXES will
enable HPUK's staff and contractors to "work smarter", optimizing many
processes, streamlining the materials supply chain, and better
targeting resources.
   "We're pleased to be working with Hutchison Ports (UK) Limited as
they work to upgrade their asset management capabilities," said Robin
Martin, Managing Director, MRO Software UK. "When this implementation
is complete, HPUK should see improved asset use and longer life
cycles. We look forward to working closely with HPUK to deploy MXES at
these critical ports to help improve port efficiency."
   The MXES deployment extends asset management and maintenance
automation to remote workers on the docks, ships and cranes using MXES
Mobile applications. It provides critical information on wireless
handheld devices, including access to work order data necessary to
schedule and complete the maintenance processes remotely. For example,
while conducting equipment audits, HPUK technicians can generate a
work request on their handheld device after spotting an asset problem
such as a faulty piece of equipment or a location in need of repair.
