"See AP-Networks' presentation at Industry Webcast, "Optimizing Asset & Resource Utilization" sponsored by Primavera and MRO Software.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, June 9, 2005 -- Today, Primavera Systems and MRO Software announced that they will sponsor an oil and gas industry webcast, "Optimizing Asset & Resource Utilization", to be held on Thursday, June 16, 2005 at 1:00 p.m. EDT. The event will examine how companies are increasing productivity by using an integrated "best of breed" software solution.

Leading companies require integrated systems to view the status of resources and assets assigned to projects across the organization; to complete project and routine maintenance work faster; and to forecast issues and proactively resolve them before they affect the project schedule and budget.

Featured speaker, John Casper, Senior Consultant for Asset Performance Networks, LLC (AP-Networks) will lead the presentation with industry examples of best-case operational scenarios encountered in AP Networks' benchmarking practice. AP Networks is an independent consulting organization that works with oil, gas and chemical companies and technology providers to enable breakthrough performance in capital projects and plant turnarounds.

Dean Edmundson, Primavera Systems Director of Technology Alliances and Jason Casper, MRO Industry Marketing Manager, will follow the AP-Networks presentation with a discussion addressing: what is driving oil and gas organizations to integrate asset and resource management systems; how to discover staffing risks early enough to act upon them; and how using an integrated system has helped oil and gas companies reduce downtimes.

"Oil and gas companies need current and accurate information to survive the competitive nature of today's market. The risks and costs associated with plant downtimes needs to be accurate enough to forecast potential problems while they are still actionable," said Tim L. Tobeck, VP/Group Publisher of Oil & Gas Journal.
