Quakertown, Penn., April 19, 2004-Synergis Software, a division of Synergis Technologies that develops the award-winning Synergis® Adept^TM document management solution, and ARCHIBUS, developer of the world's #1 facilities and infrastructure management solution, announced a strategic alliance to provide their joint customers with a complete integrated solution for managing all their project files. This alliance brings together the industry's best-of-breed solutions for document management and facilities management-Synergis Adept and ARCHIBUS/FM. As a result, organizations will increase productivity, improve product quality through design accuracy, and streamline their business processes.

"We're very pleased that Synergis Software is part of our ARCHIBUS/FM Development Network," says Wayne Liko, manager of the Business Partner Program at ARCHIBUS. "Synergis Adept provides ARCHIBUS users a simple and affordable way to manage their facility drawings throughout the lifecycle of a project."

Integrated Solution Brings Unique Benefits to Facilities Managers

Compared to other document management systems on the market, Synergis Adept software's integration with ARCHIBUS/FM, offers facilities managers many unique advantages including:
• a complete, seamless, out-of-the-box solution that adheres to industry standard methodologies for document and facilities management;
• simple and fast implementation that does not require database management expertise for maintenance or on-going IT support;
• a safe and secure environment to store and retrieve any type of files including multiple CAD formats (DWG, DXF, DWF, DGN, etc.), scanned images, Microsoft Excel, Word, and more;
• a simple and flexible workflow for routing documents for approval;
• the ability to create any relationship between documents of any type;
• unique vaulting and remote vaulting technologies for securing access to documents' data, metadata, and inter-relationships via a LAN, WAN, or the Internet;
• a world-class, built-in 2D/3D viewer; and
• no customization required for basic use with ARCHIBUS/FM.

The integration is being performed by Terminal Velocity (www.terminalvelocityfm.com), an ARCHIBUS business partner and reseller. "Adept is the missing link in the process of facilities management," says Jan Phelps, president of Terminal Velocity and a long-time ARCHIBUS Business Partner. "Tracking revisions, finding all the related documents in a project-these are critical tasks in the management of a facilities project. With Adept, ARCHIBUS users will have an affordable, easy to use system that will save them time and money."

"We are bringing facilities managers, as well as their internal and external project teams, a simple yet powerful way to cost-effectively improve their business processes and take better control over their facilities documents," says Todd Cummings, director of Research and Development at Synergis Software.
