BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 17, 2002

MRO Software (Nasdaq: MROI), a leading provider of e-Business solutions for strategic asset management, today announced that Denver International Airport, part of the City and County of Denver and the nation's fifth-busiest airport, has selected MAXIMO(R), MRO Software's Strategic Asset Management solution.

After a comprehensive evaluation and RFP process, the airport concluded that MAXIMO met its stringent requirements for a solution that will more efficiently manage nearly 2,000 fleet assets, provide a single system to track purchases from request to invoice approval and streamline terminal and airport facility maintenance.

In the aviation sector, equipment maintenance and repair is a mission-critical activity that is central to success. Using MAXIMO, the airport can maintain its fleet of airport operations equipment, including runway maintenance equipment such as sweepers and snowplows. In addition, MAXIMO will help the airport improve its monitoring of work orders affecting FAA operational certifications especially with the use of the product's self-service work requests application.

"Our project group, with valuable assistance from the consultants at Business Process Architecture, fully documented the critical business processes associated with purchasing, warehousing and asset maintenance operations. The team then selected a product with the flexibility and breadth required to manage the airport's diverse assets," commented Jim Miller, project manager for the MAXIMO implementation at Denver International Airport. "MAXIMO met our requirements, and we look forward to receiving the operational efficiencies that can be achieved from this solution."

"Being able to drive down operating costs, improve asset up-time and efficiently maintain facilities is critical to our customers," said Terry Saunders, vice president product and industry marketing at MRO Software. "Denver International Airport's decision to use MAXIMO for fleet and facilities is another example of how our customers are able to manage a variety of asset classes with our Strategic Asset Management solution."
