Expanding its market dominance in the areas of construction portals and the ASP market, Informative Graphics® proudly announces the integration of its Brava!™ Java-based view, markup and collaboration solution with Bricsnet’s ProjectCenter 3.0 building industry extranet solution

Customers, suppliers and partners using Bricsnet ProjectCenter may now view and
markup drawings and documents by using standard Web browsers, such as Netscape
Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. There is no additional software to
install, providing a true zero-admin browser served solution.

ProjectCenter is the leading web-based collaboration for the global construction
industry. Available at Bricsnet.com, ProjectCenter enables building professionals
to communicate, manage documents and manage workflow. It allows users to get
projects up and running quickly without investing in additional hardware or software.

By integrating Brava!, Bricsnet ProjectCenter will now enable owners, architects,
engineers, general contractors and sub-contractors to view and add comments to
project-related documents and drawings using any standard Web browsers. Documents
and drawings will be stored on Bricsnet’s central server and delivered to user
desktops in a small Java applet. Delivered on an ASP model, Bricsnet ProjectCenter
eliminates software installations and desktop file transfers, ensuring desktop
simplification and protecting intellectual property. Registered users will redline
documents and save alterations to Bricsnet’s server over the Web, making them
available to other registered project members for review and comment.

The integration permits design or documentation changes in the form of Brava!
redline overlays to be associated and managed over the Web. In addition, metadata
information is retrievable through the integration to build customized watermarks
and banners for document status information. Since Brava! does not transfer the
actual file to the client for display, the combined solution creates a secure
and trustworthy solution for supply and project collaboration activity over the
Web.

“Bricsnet is a major player in the global construction collaboration market,”
said Gary Heath, Informative Graphics CEO and President. “Bricsnet’s selection
of Brava!, based on the product’s features and functionality, as well as Informative
Graphics’ presence in the AEC market, we believe, validates our model and serves
as a powerful indicator of even greater opportunities to come.”

“We’re continually striving to give builders worldwide the tools they need to
work better and faster. As we release ProjectCenter 3.0, the Brava! viewing and
markup solution helps us accomplish our goal,” said Bricsnet vice president William
Tucker. “The incorporation of Brava! means ProjectCenter users will now be able
to view and redline CAD drawings without needing to have any CAD application
or installing additional software.”
