LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 10, 2001

TRIRIGA INC., a leading provider of enterprise software to automate design and build processes, today announced that Aerospace Concepts, Inc. has deployed its TRIRIGA Intelligent Business System(TM) (IBS) software to support their aircraft interior design operations in the US, Canada, and Japan.

With TRIRIGA IBS, Aerospace Concepts will streamline communication, collaboration, and reporting between project teams, vendors, and customers -- speeding the process of designing and completing executive aircraft.

Built on a unique Design to Commerce(TM) (D2C(TM)) methodology, TRIRIGA IBS offers a suite of integrated software tools to automate all phases of design and build processes typically associated with large-scale construction, manufacturing, and engineering projects. A Web-based software system, TRIRIGA IBS offers an efficient platform for organizations to centrally manage everything from design specification to cost estimating, project management, online procurement, and supply chain management.

TRIRIGA IBS is enabling Aerospace Concepts to develop an intelligent database of interior design specifications, which is critical to its reporting, documentation, and procurement processes. As a specialist in designing custom interiors for a range of Global Express, Gulfstream, and Dassault planes, the company is also responsible for project management of aircraft interior completions. With TRIRIGA, designers, technical directors, and completions personnel can access a collaborative workspace online, and share and exchange documents and information in real-time. Customers and their design teams can also log onto the system from any browser to access the latest project status and reports via the Internet.

"TRIRIGA truly provides us with the ultimate project management tool, enabling us to standardize our reporting processes, and provide everyone involved on a project, including the customer with central access to the most current information," said Kevin Hoffman, President and COO of Aerospace Concepts. "This has helped us realize significant time and budget efficiencies, dramatically improve the quality our work, and deliver aircraft to customers faster."

"Aerospace Concepts is a great example of how design and build companies can benefit by integrating TRIRIGA into their existing workflow processes," explained Anthony A. Marnell III, President and CEO of TRIRIGA INC. "By offering a centralized technology platform available via the Internet, TRIRIGA IBS provides the capability to improve information flow, and accelerate the product development lifecycle."
