Information Superhighways Newsletter, July, 2001

Indus International and eSASA Corp., owner and operator of the eSASA Marketplace, announced an alliance that will expand existing Indus solutions related to identification and disposal of surplus assets across a client's enterprise to achieve cost optimization in the supply chain.

eSASA operates a global marketplace providing e-commerce services related to the buying and selling of surplus assets for power generating facilities and other large industrial operations. The eSASA Marketplace is supported by eSASA's global field operations with personnel actively working with customers seeking surplus assets. This expansion will allow Indus customers to post surplus items to the eSASA Marketplace via Indus Connect which can then be accessed by other parties interested in purchasing that equipment. The maintenance history of the surplus equipment will also be attached to the posting, greatly increasing the value of the surplus item in the Marketplace. Now Indus clients will also be able to access eSASA Marketplace via IndusBay Demand to review available equipment and make informed equipment purchases.

Companies in capital-intensive industries use Indus solutions to optimize the performance of their facilities including maximizing plant efficiency and minimizing inventory and overhead costs. Management of surplus equipment and parts are key elements of this process. While Indus solutions have always provided surplus analysis tools, the direct linkage with the eSASA Marketplace now offers an integrated work-flow to offer those surplus items to potential buyers.
