TAMPA, Fla., July 26, 2006 –Numara Software (formerly Blue Ocean Software) announced today that Numara Track-It! 7 Bar Code is now available through its alliance with Softchoice, a leading North American supplier of technology products and services. The partnership makes it easier for government agencies to price and purchase the entire family of Numara Software products through the GSA Schedule Program using #GS-35F-0196M.

Numara Track-It! Bar Code is a new extension for Numara® Track-It!® 7, its core Help Desk and IT Asset Management solution, which allows IT professionals to use bar code devices to capture IT asset information directly into the Numara Track-It! Inventory module, thus providing greater accuracy and control.

“With this new extension Numara Track-It! 7 provides a comprehensive Asset Management solution that reduces the impact of human data entry errors, increases employee efficiency and improves asset management consistency and credibility,” says Michael J. Hopf, Sr., eastern regional sales manager of Numara Software, Inc.

Specific benefits of Numara Track-It! 7 Bar Code include:

• Data Accuracy, Error Reduction: Research shows that human error resulting from manual data collection occurs every 300 keystrokes. By leveraging the Numara Track-It! 7 Bar Code extension, companies can increase their accuracy rate from about 80% to 100% accuracy with automated scanning processes. 
  
  
• Improved Visibility of All Types of Assets – Tracked assets are no longer limited to the PC. Companies can track any company assets such as copiers and fax machines, furniture and appliances; switches, routers and printers; or PDAs and telephones.
  
• Compliancy Adherence – The Numara Track-It! 7 Bar Code extension allows companies to verify any asset no matter how it is identified and to reconcile physical inventory audits with auto discovery, enhancing data integrity and consistency.

• Broader Scope of Tracking, Any Location - Whether in a remote location or in any part of the world, companies can scan asset data and synchronize it for reconciliation within Numara Track-It! 7. The data can also be easily updated if an asset moves.
