FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Haines, FL, Chooses Innoprise Software, Inc.™ to Replace City’s Community Development Software

ORLANDO, FL and BEND, OR - July 8, 2004 - Haines City, Florida, ("Haines") has contracted with Innoprise Software, Inc. for a new technology solution that will replace the city’s legacy community development system. The Innoprise Community Development software will support Haines' need for an end-to-end solution that will provide immediate access to the data necessary to meet the needs of everyone from individual homeowners to large developers, thus streamlining the community development process from start to finish. The new software includes built-in workflow automation features that track each step of the city's complex land management process, from city planning, zoning, permitting, land development, building plan review, building inspections, licensing and code enforcement. The Building Permits module will be implemented first, going into production in August, followed by Occupation Licenses and Code Enforcement. Planning and Zoning, the final module, is scheduled for production in October 2005.

The decision to purchase new software was driven by the need to improve work flows and business processes used to effectively manage the city's growth, which is expected to double by 2010. According to Richard Greenwood, community development director for the city, the challenge was to find a system capable of meeting both existing and future functional requirements and which supported seamless integration between the various community development modules, an intuitive user interface design, a native Internet architecture and the ability to generate reports using standard Microsoft™ Office products. After an intense software evaluation process, Haines selected Innoprise Software.

The new software will replace a system that's been in place since 1998. "Innoprise Community Development will allow us to streamline business processes," commented Greenwood. The Web services architecture will enable the city to provide staff and citizens with an up-to-date view of the various phases and steps of the permitting and inspection process, as well as providing the ability to monitor business license status over the Internet, Greenwood noted. The software can be easily ported to kiosks and mobile devices to further extend information access, reduce walk-in traffic and provide building inspectors with low-cost wireless PDA devices to view and manage inspections in the field.

"Haines is looking forward to utilizing this newer and more efficient technology to better serve our customers," said Greenwood. "With Microsoft Office integration and one-touch reporting, users across the enterprise can easily exchange data with desktop applications for generating licenses, renewal notices and reminder letters. With one click and without the assistance of IT staff, users can extract information to create even the most complex ad hoc reports, charts and spreadsheets."

Innoprise Community Development is the first such solution based on the Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE™) service-oriented architecture and a multi-tiered Internet-native platform. The software is integrated with the company's Innoprise Financial Management software, released in June 2004 and based on the the culmination of two years of intense effort to build the next generation standard in platform-neutral, cross-functional Web-based enterprise technology.
