BURBANK, California - (May 17, 2000) -- Xytech Systems Corporation, a leading provider of facility management software, has released its newly developed Web Browser Module, the latest addition to its Enterprise facility management system. Launching as the lead product in the company's new business-to-business Internet campaign, the Web Module allows Xytech's clients, which include film companies, broadcast studios, production houses, and satellite facilities, to access facility information over the Internet from anywhere in the world.

The Web Browser Module was designed to surpass any geographical constraints in a facility's profit maximization and resource utilization. Fully integrated into the network of the "home" facility, the system increases efficiency for all projects by providing personnel with 24-hour access to this information from anywhere in the world. After logging on to the Internet, traveling employees can then look up information such as studio and production schedules, location information, and available equipment. The Web Browser Module also provides direct access to vault libraries so personnel can look up any of the vast media materials stored in facilities.

By allowing people working on the same project in different parts of the world to collaborate and update status and budgets, companies can now track productivity much more effectively and in real time. Personnel can check to see if they are under or over budget in an instant on the web. This allows them to effectively manage costs and allocate resources for the duration of the project.

In addition to updating a facility's information, employees can go online and track their own information. Since many work on remote location for weeks at a time, they can use the Web Browser Module to input hours logged and costs incurred while on the job. The system will automatically update the information in real time and saves the time and effort spent on manual tracking.

The Web Browser Module has a built-in security system so only pre-approved personnel can log on and access information. In addition to quick installation and a user-friendly interface, the product also supports multiple sites, companies, divisions, currencies and languages. The Web Browser Module has a base price of $3,000 plus $500 for each concurrent user. The system is available for immediate delivery and installation and is backed by Xytech's unrivaled customer support.
