Houston, June 14, 2002 - Petris Technology, Inc., a Houston-based data and application management company, launched their new Web-based workflow collaboration software PetrisWINDS Plan-IT. A powerful solution for effective and efficient project management through collaboration, Plan-IT helps schedule, organize and analyze tasks, deadlines and resources. Plan-IT also helps collaborative efforts to clearly define goals, projects, timelines and results at all work levels. Furthermore, project team members have the ability to upload documents for centralized storage and shared access. The results create a more productive and efficient feedback loop.

From improving communications and maximizing productivity to helping change and improve management, Plan-IT represents a new advance in strategic enterprise relationships using digital technologies. More specifically, "teaming" is the act of enterprises seizing the initiative to build collaborative relationships and profit from the next phase via the power of the Internet and Web Service based Intranets.

"Web-based technologies have created unprecedented opportunity for organizations to share information, build relationships and use the concept of teaming to reduce costs, build revenue and increase efficiencies," said Jim Pritchett, CEO of Petris Technology. "With Plan-IT, Petris has made it relatively uncomplicated to create unique collaborative environments and build new models for conducting business." For example, the value of information is often significantly increased when shared. With reciprocal online relationships in secure, shared workspaces, Plan-IT users are able to act and react to situations that could not have been dealt with independently. It’s a competitive advantage that can only be realized with this technology.

Plan-IT can be deployed as an intranet solution or can be served up via the Internet as an ASP application through Petris’ PetrisWINDS NOW! ASP service. Plan-IT is available for a low monthly subscription rate making it affordable for small project teams or the entire organization, its partners, customers, vendors and other alliance groups.

Even service companies or consultant groups can benefit from collaborative software. "Imagine needing to collaborate on a complex project but not having the time to organize or attend an on-site meeting, particularly one that would be remote. All communications, document sharing and even meetings can be done securely via the Internet. The technology is here today." added Pat Herbert, COO of Petris Technology.

Petris is a leader in the development and application of Web-services architecture complemented by a one-of-a-kind vendor-neutral integration application. Taken together, Petris is at the brink of a new era of integration, data and application management. Petris’ Internet address is www.petris.com
