Fairfax Water is striving for efficiency

JERSEY CITY, NJ; January 10, 2008 - As continuing evidence of its market leadership in the utilities industry, Axon Solutions, Inc. (FTSE: AXN) announced today that Fairfax Water, the largest drinking water utility in Virginia serving nearly 1.5 million residential, business and industrial customers in the Northern Virginia communities of Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William and Alexandria, has selected Axon Solutions, Inc. to implement the final phase of a company wide enterprise solution replacement. This final phase includes the implementation of the SAP® ERP application as well as enterprise asset management and mobile workforce management solutions from SAP AG.

Fairfax expects to lower integration costs by replacing its previous combination of separate third-party financial, purchasing and work management solutions by complementing its already completed Human Capital Management (SAP ERP HCM) and customer information solutions, all provided by SAP. "Upon completion of this final phase, we will have an integrated SAP solution being leveraged by every department with optimized processes and real business improvement," explained Charles Murray, General Manager of Fairfax Water. "This project is the foundation for Fairfax Water to make substantial gains in the four critical aspects of our operation: efficiency, effectiveness, quality, and reliability."

The project is scheduled to be completed in early 2009 and incorporates a separate three month "Business Process Review Phase" to ensure that Fairfax Water realizes the benefits available as part of a truly integrated solution.

"Axon is proud to support Fairfax Water in a comprehensive business transformation initiative," said Ian Greenhalgh, EVP of US Operations for Axon. "Like so many of our clients choosing to replace legacy applications, Fairfax Water is truly committed to changing the way they support customers, employees and operations."
