Press Release Summary: With ‘Focus i’, companies will be able to automate their
financial and operational processes and make better decisions by organising,
analysing and reporting the data they generate.

Press Release Body: Dubai, United Arab Emirates, October 7, 2008: Focus Softnet
today announced the launch of Focus i, a revolutionary Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) solution to feature a Business Intelligence (BI) module, an Enterprise
dashboard and a comprehensive Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) module. Focus i,
a new generation ERP which fully integrates with BI tools, provides real-time,
multi-dimensional posting of transactions, resulting in real-time reports. With
Focus i, companies will be able to automate their financial and operational
processes and make better decisions by organising, analysing and reporting the data
they generate.

“Focus Softnet is happy to be the first IT solutions company to offer a mid-tier ERP
solution which is fully integrated with BI. So far, the high cost of implementing BI
has kept mid-size organizations away from it. Having seen this gap, we decided to
create Focus i, which is a cost-effective business solution that combines our highly
customizable ERP with business intelligence tools,” says Mr. Ali Hyder, CEO, Focus
Softnet. “Focus i also features an enterprise dashboard, where customers can get
information about their business at a glance, and a comprehensive Manufacturing
Resource Planning module, which provides full support for multi-process production
for stocking, order-based, assemble-to-order environments. In addition, Focus i
eliminates the need for a third party BI Tool hence helping the customer save on
huge costs on a separate BI solution.”

Focus i features comprehensive modules such as Financial Management, Sales &
Distribution Management, Procurement & Purchase Planning, Inventory & Warehouse
Management, Manufacturing Resource Planning and Human Resource Management & Payroll.
Apart from the modules that work independently while seamlessly integrating with
each other, Focus i also offers the customer a distinct advantage with a list of
Global features that are available across all modules. With the options available in
the Focus Advantage module, the organization using Focus i would not require any
external reporting tool.

“With Focus i, companies do not need to choose data from the ERP separately to send
to the BI. The user can define and monitor the Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and
get instant insight into his business activities on the executive dashboard either
as colourful graphs or in an excel-like format. The customer also receives critical
business alerts on any new activity in the defined KPI on his dashboard, email and
SMS, which helps him monitor business activities, ensure best performance, improve
responsiveness and make decisions in real-time,” Mr. Ali Hyder CEO adds.

Focus i offers a broad range of industry-specific processes. It supports
multi-company consolidation, multi-currency, multi-language among many other
features. With Focus i Financials, companies and organisations can dramatically
increase their finance department's value by streamlining and automating the
business and transaction processes. Focus i, when bundled with robust security and
advanced authorizsation features, makes the company’s financials absolutely secure.

Apart from its winning features and cost-effectiveness, Focus i also offers
customers multiple options for remote connections. Customers can connect directly to
the Focus i server connection using SOCKS technology or through Web Access using
Java based interface or through online or Batch Data Synchronization.

“We think it is crucial that software applications meet all the requirements of a
growing company. At the same time, it is also important that the software is user
friendly, has sufficient procedural controls, and is operationally secure and
maintainable. Focus Softnet not only meets all these challenging criteria but also
helps organisations improve efficiency, improve profit margins and increase
competitiveness through customized business solutions,” explains Mr. Jawad Ali Khan,
COO Sales at Focus Softnet.

“Focus i is the need of the market today and is another example of our company’s
customer-centric approach. Focus i is not only cost-effective and easy to use but it
also offers faster ROI than other ERP/BI products. To add to this, our existing
Focus RT customers can also seamlessly upgrade to Focus i at a minimal cost,” he
adds.

Focus Softnet is holding a special seminar in Dubai to formally introduce Focus i to
its Middle East customers and partners. Senior executives of the company will
demonstrate the features and benefits of the solutions at the event, which will take
place on 16th October, 2008 at Al Murooj Rotana Hotel.
