PITTSBURG, PA and PORTSMOUTH, UK — March 16, 2004  Inmedius, Inc., a pioneer in providing interactive operational performance management software solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Vektas Ltd, Portsmouth, United Kingdom. Inmedius will be the first company to distribute and support Vektas professional authoring tools, including their new Warrior‘ application that is compliant with the S1000D™ Technical Publications Specification (also referred to as AECMA), throughout North America.

“The Inmedius team spent considerable time and energy evaluating the leading S1000D™ solutions available worldwide before selecting Vektas,” said Gary L. Schaffer, president and CEO of Inmedius. “We identified Vektas as having the expertise and experience not only in professional authoring but they are ‘battled-tested’ and a proven leader in solutions compliant with Technical Publications Specifications S1000D(AECMA). Our U.S. customers are rapidly moving towards S1000D™ and the Inmedius/Vektas partnership accelerates our ability to deliver world-class solutions and services that they expect, not only here in North America but anywhere around the world.”

“We could not imagine a more ideal match with Vektas’ professional authoring solutions and Inmedius’ Publisher and Mentor capabilities,” said Michael Ingledew, Operations Director for Vektas. “Inmedius has a superb product, unparalleled technical expertise and real dominance in the IETMS/ETIMS technical publication marketspace. And, that market is quickly adopting S1000D™ standards and together we will be leading the way with the most comprehensive “end-to-end” solution for our customers. Our collaboration means a customer can work with one team that delivers a complete and integrated solution that meets their hypercritical technical publications requirements.”

The partnership begins with the immediate availability of Vektas products, Warrior, Armada and ARK, in the United States and Canada through Inmedius. Additional product capabilities and enhancements will emerge throughout 2004 as the teams work to meet and exceed the most rigorous and advanced technical publication standards.

“We are applying substantial resources to this partnership because the marketplace is demanding more comprehensive and innovative, performance-oriented frontline applications,” said Gary L. Schaffer. “Our customers and the world-stage are less tolerant of ‘cobbled-together’ solutions requiring work arounds and custom integration. The Inmedius and Vektas marriage brings two technology leaders together to create a one-of-a-kind solution at a time when those skills are highly sought after.”
