Santa Clara, CA, - March 26, 2002 - TSO (The Stationery Office), Britain's largest publisher by new title volume, today shared positive findings about the company's deployment of the Noosh e-business solution. While cost savings will exceed $700K (U.S.) in the first year, the company reports numerous business process improvements and customer satisfaction benefits as having even greater long-term value.

TSO is one of Europe's leading publishing service companies and publishes over 11,000 books, CD-ROMs, and multi-media products every year. The company provides integrated information management and business process outsourcing solutions to both the public and private sector. This includes a wide range of interconnected services for its customers including content management, web and e-commerce services, editorial design, electronic publishing, fulfillment & logistics, print services, customer services, and sales & marketing services.

TSO deployed Noosh last year to simplify complex workflow and to automate many time-consuming, manual processes. The Noosh solution is currently implemented throughout the organization and extends across its base of more than 200 suppliers. Noosh is also providing the software infrastructure for TSO Consortia - a new collaborative and e-procurement service that TSO is launching this year as a deployable client resource.

"To run a process successfully requires all the elements of the workflow to be coordinated including those that fall outside the area of supply chain responsibility," said Keith Burbage, Managing Director of TSO Supply Chain Services. "To do this requires process interconnectivity, process visibility, process accountability. Noosh does this by organizing the major process elements in a logical way regardless of company boundaries."

Customers have given the service high marks and have reported that Noosh enhances their business relationship with TSO. One TSO customer noted: "Our interest is in providing the right information and seeing that the whole process is under control. Noosh enables both." On the other end of the spectrum, Noosh has allowed suppliers to better see relevant project activities and to participate in the supply process at a level that is appropriate to their role in the supply chain. Said Burbage, "Noosh is a true collaborative system and a major breakthrough for the publishing industry."
