Press Release Summary: Trakware ETO MES New Version Impacts Scheduling and Work
Orders

Press Release Body: Trakware Systems (www.trakware.com) announced the business
availability of TRAKware v6, the leading software solution for To-Order enterprises
which have deep interdependencies between engineering and manufacturing processes.
From the initial customer order to final installation, TRAKware is poised to deliver
an experience unmatched in the industry, including significant enhancements over
earlier version 5.

According to Randy Richel, P.Eng., CEO and General Manager of Canadian-based
Trakware, "Enterprise software built for repetitive manufacturing needs massive
amounts of customization to even begin to adequately handle the complex, unique,
one-time requirements of custom-engineered products. The newest TRAKware Solution is
ready to meet these challenges by bringing an "on the manufacturing floor" innovated
application to allow To-Order (engineer to order, make to order) environments a
competitive edge to manufacture today's complex products."


TRAKware v6 focuses on many critical areas including scheduling and work orders.
Some of the new features which impact ETO or project-based organizations include:

Scheduling features now include Enhanced Preactor Integration (differentiate between
projects and work orders, automatically un-allocating tasks, batch splitting, batch
transfers)

Work Orders features now include a Work Order Due Date tied to Deliverable Due Dates
(delay or advance) as well as the ability to handle batch travelers (ability to
select multiple Work orders from the screen and print them in a single batch)

Richel also noted, "Early adopters of TRAKware v6 expect dramatic gains in
profitability and productivity through capabilities that address core business
issues in new ways. Over 40% of our customers have already upgraded to v6."
