Honolulu, HI - October 4, 2000 Inovaware Corp., a leading provider of business infrastructure software for providers of Internet services, announced the opening of its new Asia-Pacific headquarters today.

"Our new Tokyo offices will give us the technical and marketing base we need to respond to the explosive Internet growth and huge demand for our products throughout Asia," said David Keuning, VP Asia-Pacific and Strategic Development at Inovaware.

The opening of the company's Asia-Pacific headquarters coincides with news that NetTime, a Japanese wireless service provider, selected Inovaware's PRISM as its billing and customer management system.

NetTime's Little Anges service allows NTT DoCoMo customers to connect a digital camera to their wireless i-Mode phone and send photos over the Internet. Users can send pictures to other i-Mode phones or to traditional internet-connected PCs.

Before transmitting a photo, users have several options available, including writing on the image and supplementing their picture with downloaded graphics, such as animated "frames" that surround the photo.

NetTime's rapid growth in customer base and service portfolio demanded a flexible and scalable business infrastructure, capable of handling current billing and customer management needs, but powerful and extensible enough to adapt to future business requirements.

"Inovaware was the only billing and customer care provider that could accommodate the exponential growth and massive scalability that we require - rapidly and on budget " said Seiichi Nakahara, Executive VP at NetTime. "Inovaware's ability to meet all our customization needs made the company the logical choice for our unique services."

"PRISM is an excellent fit for a leading-edge company like NetTime," said Mr. Keuning. "Our system will allow NetTime to cost-effectively automate many of their subscriber management processes and will give company representatives access to more customer information, allowing NetTime to provide even better customer service."
