InSite EE Swift Implementation Positions Williams to Meet Compliance RequirementsATLANTA, July 7, 2004 – Indus International Inc. (NASDAQ: IINT), a leading provider of Service Delivery Management (SDM)™ solutions, today announced that Williams Energy has selected InSite EE to optimize its Midstream Unit’s business processes and help the company with its initiative to meet certain requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOx), the congressional act mandating public disclosure and corporate governance reform for public companies. To support a streamlined workflow, InSite EE provides a single procurement process, which aligns with Williams Energy’s purchasing procedure driven by asset maintenance requirements. This allows purchase orders and invoices to be processed in InSite EE and seamlessly integrated into Williams’ current financial software. Procurement documentation and SOx controls are captured and archived with the InSite EE solution -- all in support of the requirements that Williams has identified in its SOx compliance initiative. Furthermore, InSite EE’s Web-based user interface and simple navigation provide ease of use along with stronger functionality to support Midstream’s standardized business processes. Features, including real-time performance management (RPM), will enable the company to better manage the performance of its assets for 75 plant sites and more than 600 end users. “We have been a client of Indus since 1997, and we have seen Indus design solutions that are much more customer-centric than other providers,” said Terry Robinson, Systems Analyst Consultant of Williams Energy. “The technical implementation of InSite EE took less than three months, helping us stay on track with our SOx initiative deadlines.” “For many companies like Williams Energy, there are real challenges to comply with SOx,” said Indus President and CEO Greg Dukat. “The estimated costs for public companies to revise business processes to support the requirements of SOx are significant. Indus solutions help our clients validate their business processes, including built-in approval levels, and are designed to provide powerful functionality for various industries with easy implementation at an affordable cost.” About Williams Williams, through its subsidiaries, primarily finds, produces, gathers, processes and transports natural gas.
