(Seattle, WA - April 25, 2004) — SPATIALinfo and Auspice Corporation demonstrated how the combination of real-time operations automation and AM/FM/GIS/CAD (automated mapping, facilities management, geospatial information systems and computer-aided design) provide the telecommunications, cable, utility, network design/construction and land information markets with unprecedented levels of operations reliability and efficiency. Working in unison, the companies' SPATIALnet and Auspice TLX® System Integration and Operations Automation Platform products enable users of mapping systems to view the real-time status of mapped elements and to have mapping information databases dynamically updated in real time. The mapping systems can be based on Autodesk's AutoCAD, Bentley's Microstation and other popular software products.

Here at the GITA (Geospatial Information Technology Association) Annual Conference and Exhibition, SPATIALinfo and Auspice demonstrated how their integrated products SPATIALnet and the Auspice TLX Platform will enable:

- Real-time monitoring of any intelligent mapped element's status, such as utilization, thresholds and outages, etc.

- Real-time auditing of any intelligent mapped element's attributes, such as model or ID number, configuration and software/firmware version.

- Real-time verification of upstream and downstream connection and location.

- Real-time, bidirectional integration of a map's underlying information databases and an organization's business and operations support systems (BSS/OSS), such as billing, customer relationship management, device and network management and monitoring systems, trouble ticket/workforce management systems.

Working together, the SPATIALnet and the TLX Platform enable operations staff to:

- Pro actively and more efficiently manage the health of infrastructure elements and the services delivered by the infrastructure (e.g., a tele- or data-communications network, pipeline, grid or facility)

- More quickly and accurately pinpoint problem root cause and scope-of-problems.

- Dramatically reduce mean-time-to-repair and associated costs of maintenance.

- Improve overall reliability of the services delivered by any infrastructure.

- Ensure that relevant information on business and mapping systems is always consistent.

SPATIALnet is a complete AM/FM/GIS system that captures, edits and displays geo-relational data using the power of a relational database. SPATIALnet uses AutoCAD Map as its edit client and includes configurable templates for telecommunications, cable, power, water and gas networks. SPATIALnet can be readily integrated with other Autodesk GIS products or Bentley's Microstation for enterprise-sharing of spatial data.

Auspice TLX is a platform for rapidly developing and deploying solutions that integrate systems and automate manual processes for operations control across network operations centers, remote field dispatch operations and customer service/technical support centers. Auspice TLX is used by the nation's leading service providers to command and control processes that monitor the status of their networked entities, collect and distribute real-time information across multiple systems and spawn operations logic-based actions on networked devices, databases and applications.

"SPATIALinfo is pleased to partner with Auspice to bring a powerful combination of software tools in a breakthrough solution," said Lenny Melamedas, Executive Vice President, SPATIALinfo" Our clients across the verticals we jointly serve will benefit greatly from the new capabilities we bring to the marketplace."

"The combined power of Auspice TLX and SPATIALinfo will enable organizations in a wide variety of industries to automate the time-consuming processes that plague their operations control and dispatch personnel," said Will Yan, Executive VP of Sales and Business Development at Auspice. "SPATIALinfo, whose integration of information database with mapping systems deliver high value, now offers its markets the added value of real-time operations automation integrated with mapping systems."

About Auspice:

Founded in 1997, Auspice, The Enterprise Control Company, is the first commercial developer of a control software platform that enables enterprises and service providers to manage disparate technology infrastructure in an orchestrated manner to dramatically improve operations reliability and efficiency. With its roots in the modern-day manned space program, Auspice's TLX® platform was originally developed for mission-critical and complex operational environments, such as the NASA and the International Space Station, which are characterized by heterogeneous systems that demand absolute reliability. Auspice is also the developer of the TLX-based OpsLogic Broadband Solution Suite - a set of integrated operations automation applications for broadband service providers. The OpsLogic Solution Suite was developed on and can be extended with the Auspice TLX platform to meet the specific needs of individual service providers. Auspice TLX and Auspice OpsLogic applications are currently deployed at leading North American service providers.
