Issued by Global Research Partners for SBi

Johannesburg, 25 Oct 2005

Solutions for Business Intelligence (SBI), a subsidiary of JSE-listed ERP.com, and an authorised solutions partner for Australian-based TOWER Software, today announced the latter's latest release of its electronic document and records management system, TRIM Context 6.

"TOWER has been developing TRIM for over 20 years but I think TRIM Context 6 is the most exciting release to date," commented Straughan Schofield, General Manager of Product Development at TOWER Software.

"With four generations of development, TRIM Context 6 is now an extraordinarily refined solution. It is capable of delivering successful project outcomes with measurable business efficiencies for our public sector and regulated industry customers. As well as many refinements, TRIM Context 6 includes some innovative new features. The most outstanding of these is 'ice'.

"Ice is svelte and easy to learn," continued Schofield. "Ice provides a new experience for users, bringing together collaboration, ease of access and rich information management tools. Ice's Project Team/Collaboration facilities are ideally suited for both intranet, extranet and 'road warrior' workers.

"In addition to Project Team/Collaboration abilities, ice provides access to all the commonly used functions through all popular Web browsers so that no software download is required and users can use TRIM Context 6 from any computer instantly."

TRIM Context 6 introduces the benefits of a service-oriented architecture; including easy deployment and robust architecture, making TRIM Context 6 the proven platform for enterprise content management (ECM).

"The challenge for all of us in today's world is to be innovative, responsive and accountable. We need systems and processes that will drive real business change, drive improved decision-making and drive compliance/best practice," added Tony Nutter, MD of SBi.

"Using information as the platform to conduct business is one of the least considered success factors by most businesses. Managing and incorporating information into the day-to-day business operations is even less considered. TRIM Context 6 will provide organisations the opportunity to develop and manage that information platform resulting in improved results for all stakeholders."

TRIM Context 6 provides all the technologies needed to provide a complete platform for ECM:

* Document management
* Records management
* Process management
* Content management

* E-mail management
* Integration to line of business (LOB) applications
