Enghouse POWERS UP with PowerWORKS™ APD Version 9.0

Seattle, WA – Enghouse Systems Limited (August 3, 2000) [TSE: ESL] is pleased to announce a significant upgrade to PowerWORKS™ APD (Automated Plat Design) software with the release of Version 9.0. The PowerWORKS™ APD application is used in underground electric design and optimization within residential sub-divisions.

"We are excited with the new functionality and flexibility offered by the latest version of PowerWORKS™ APD." says Steve Sadler, Chairman and CEO, Enghouse Systems Limited. "We worked closely with our customers to implement the major design changes made to PowerWORKS™ APD so we are confident that version 9.0 will be well-received by our users." added Andrew Nellestyn, President of Enghouse Systems Limited.

PowerWORKS™ APD is a windows-based, interactive, graphical plat design environment, that is a powerful extension to any utility mapping system. It provides a complete out-of-the box solution geared toward the needs of utility engineers and designers. APD saves construction costs usually associated with equipment and cable sizing, and cable routing. APD also reduces planning time and exports design results to existing systems.

The release of PowerWORKS™ APD Version 9.0 adds greatly expanded electric secondary design, with added routing options and user control. Automated grouping of lots to be served by the same transformer is greatly improved, with significantly enhanced logic and user controls. Both enhancements translate to expanded functionality, improved ease-of-use, and cost savings for each utility.
