WAMware Selects Acuity as Exclusive National Distributor for I-PROCESS^TM

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — November 2003 – WAMware is pleased to announce that Acuity Incorporated has been selected as its exclusive national distributor for the WAMware I-PROCESS product.  Acuity will continue its successful sales and support of I-PROCESS in the Pacific Northwest and additionally begin an aggressive marketing program throughout the USA to increase market awareness, sign value-added resellers, and broaden the installed base for the product.

I-PROCESS is a web-based process workflow system which supports a wide range of engineering, manufacturing and administrative processes, and can be used to facilitate any collaborative process where document routing, signatures or tasks are required.  An important out-of-the-box application of I-PROCESS is for Engineering Change Control, allowing manufacturers to assure the visibility and traceability of all information and decisions, thereby improving the efficiency of the product development process itself, as well as the ability for the manufacturer to satisfy industry regulatory requirements.  In a matter of days, I-PROCESS is installed, configured (without programming), and up-and-running at customer sites.

For more than seventeen years, Acuity has been providing high-value CAD, PLM and eBusiness solutions to a growing, loyal customer base in the Pacific Northwest.  With the new relationship for I-PROCESS, Acuity now eagerly looks to expand its geographical and market presence throughout the USA by devoting professional staffmembers to the marketing, channel management, sales and support of I-PROCESS.

"We are convinced that I-PROCESS provides our customers and resellers, today and in the future, the quickest return-on-investment available in the market.", said Tom McKasson, President, Acuity Incorporated.  "We are absolutely delighted to be designated as the national distributor for I-PROCESS and look forward to rapidly expanding the footprint for this important product from coast-to-coast."

Wayne McClelland, Chairman of WAMware, adds, "Acuity is a top-notch organization with strong technical skills, business ethics and customer orientation.  We're pleased to focus our efforts on continued development of I-PROCESS as Acuity aggressively carries the banner to the marketplace."
