Indus Builds First True Multinational Collaborative Asset Management Solution Leveraging WizArt Technology

ATLANTA, February 5, 2002

Indus International Inc. (NASDAQ: IINT), the leading global supplier of enterprise asset management software and services*, today announced that Indus InSite™ will be the first true multinational collaborative asset management solution, thanks to a new strategic relationship with WizArt Software, a leading provider of enterprise localization technologies.

This strategic relationship supports the Indus InAble Partner Strategy (see January 8, 2002, Indus release, "Indus Announces InAble Partner Strategy"), which unites pure Internet component technologies into the powerful new Indus InSite collaborative asset management solution. Indus selected WizArt's localization software to expand InSite's appeal to companies around the globe through support for international standards with dynamic language translation and customizable linguistics capability.

"InSite is designed to be a vehicle for collaboration, without regard for software architecture, users' computer expertise or geographical boundaries, and WizArt has helped us achieve this goal by enabling InSite to break down the language barrier to collaboration," said Larry Hagewood, senior vice-president of the InSite Business Unit at Indus. "With WizArt's technology, we developed InSite to open up collaboration to any person that can add value to an asset's management — including suppliers and partners in countries around the world — making InSite the first true multinational collaborative asset management solution."

"Like Indus, our commitment is to offer the best technology for the best result," said WizArt CEO Michel Balcaen. "Indus has used our best technology, WizTom, to develop an innovative solution that will accelerate collaboration in a global and dynamic, multilingual business environment. With InSite, Indus International is truly defining the collaborative asset management space."

Using WizTom, WizArt's flagship product, Indus developed a single code base for InSite with dynamic language translation to enable geographically dispersed users to collaborate using the system in their native language. This capability represents a dramatic departure from traditional systems, which offer translations of static displays and templates. With InSite, the language translation is dynamic and accomplished real-time without any programming effort.

Furthermore, advanced localization features enable InSite to be personalized to use terminology customary to various vertical industries. In addition, InSite is delivered via an application service provider for convenient access using an easy-to-understand Web browser interface. These capabilities make InSite an appealing solution to companies that want advanced collaboration with customers, partners and suppliers in multiple industries and with multinational facilities around the globe.
