San Diego, CA -- (Business Wire) Avexus, Inc., a leading provider of solutions and services to companies that own, operate or maintain complex, high value assets, today announced the availability of Network Manager to help improve collaboration between aircraft operators and outsourced maintenance networks. Network Manager was unveiled today at the Paris Air Show, where demonstrations will be available at the Avexus booth, A16-K in the USA Pavilion, during exhibit hall hours throughout the duration of the show.

Avexus Network Manager brings together all of the relevant information for an operator to manage their operations, including visibility into their outsourced maintenance network. The solution is also used by members of the maintenance network to provide updates back to the operator on work performed in a near real-time basis.

Key capabilities that Network Manager provides to Operators include:

-- A view into the current status of all planes within a fleet, classifying them by their current operational readiness.

-- Consolidation of all outstanding tasks for each plane that is currently out of service, including tasks that are not immediately due.

-- Mapping of plane availability against current demand forecasts.

-- An overview of maintenance work, including capabilities mapping, current utilization and capacity by location.

-- Alerts into operational situations that require immediate attention, including demand/plane availability conflicts, requests for action from other members of outsourced networks and potential "opportunity maintenance" situations.

"The core business model of airlines, fractional operators and other aircraft operators has transitioned to be more focused on running an airline, and that often means outsourcing many operational maintenance activities," said Avexus president and CEO Richard Bergmann. "Network Manager provides operators with real-time updates on the maintenance status of their fleet, and maintenance networks with an efficient means for providing immediate performance reports to operators. This collaboration improves fleet visibility and optimizes aircraft availability."

Network Manager can be installed within an operator's current IT infrastructure or deployed as a service managed by Avexus.

Network Manager is the latest phase of Avexus' 8 Series, which was launched in April 2005. Additional 8 Series solution phases will be announced throughout 2005.
