At its International User Conference today, Indus International (NASDAQ: IINT), the world`s leading provider of Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software and services, announced today the availability of the Indus SAP Financial Integration Solution. For the first time, SAP customers can now implement integrated best-of-breed Enterprise Asset Management with their SAP financial applications.

SAP Financial Integration Solution."
State of the Art Technology
The SAP Financial Integration Solution was developed using TSI Software's business application linking product, Mercator for R/3. Mercator for R/3 is the first product certified by SAP for integrating non-R/3 applications with R/3 using SAP`s Application Link Enabling (ALE) architecture. Using Mercator for R/3, critical Indus EAM transaction information about costs, work orders, purchase orders, and projects is seamlessly passed to SAP financial applications for tracking and reporting.
Since Mercator handles the SAP side of the integration, users are assured of risk-free data exchange that will be upgraded with each new release of SAP's products.
Indus' SAP Financial Integration Solution is supported by the Indus global services and support network. The product will ship in October 1998, and will be certified against Indus Solution Series? - PassPort 6.1 and SAP R/3 3.x.
Indus International products are distributed in South Africa by SGA.
