Intergraph and Severn Trent Systems Form Strategic Business Alliance
Focus on Strengthened End-to-End Geospatial and Work Management Solutions

DENVER, March 28, 2000 - Intergraph Corporation and Severn Trent Systems (STS) today announced a strategic business alliance to fully integrate Intergraph's Geospatial Resource Management (GRM) solution with a STS's Worksuite, comprehensive work management system (WMS) - reducing cost, risk, time to implement, and ongoing maintenance costs. The alliance addresses product development and integration, business development and customer implementations. Intergraph's G/Industry Solutions next generation geospatial applications, InService (TM) solutions and STS's STORMS (TM) work management, Scheduler (TM) resource management and FieldIT (TM) mobile work management will now be available as pre-integrated components under the alliance. The suite facilitates greater interoperability of engineering management and operations throughout the enterprise. The products adhere to the latest industry standards for openness, scalability, web-deployment and mobile computing, aligning with the vision of both companies.

According to Kevin Hitt, Intergraph vice president of utilities, "Utility companies need their most important operating systems to work together seamlessly. The alliance with STS supports our vision of an end-to-end GRM solution, in which GIS becomes a foundation for tight integration with outage management and work management systems. Formalizing the Intergraph and Severn Trent Systems' relationship insures the compatibility and maintainability between two market-leading providers of utility industry products."

Jeff Brown, vice president work management business unit for STS, explained, "By integrating work management processes and geospatial systems, we are able to eliminate redundancies and improve the efficiency of utility operations. The tight integration between our Worksuite work solutions and GRM will produce significant operating benefits for our customers. The core of the alliance is pre-integrated solutions - providing to our customers, a better and faster way to implement their enterprise systems with lower risk and lower cost. STS and Intergraph are doing much of the systems integration work for them in advance and then collaborating on the deployment for our customers."

Customers currently implementing this integrated geospatial and work management solution are Florida Power Corporation, Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority and Kansas City Power and Light.
