SPL WorldGroup To Present Much Anticipated Integrated Utility Software Suite At DistribuTECH

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- SPL WorldGroup, Inc., a provider of mission-critical software solutions for the global utility market, announced that they will demonstrate the power, capabilities and competitive advantages that can be gained from their newly expanded and integrated end-to-end enterprise operational software solutions.

SPL WorldGroup has been an acknowledged leader in the utility software market. The acquisition of CES' utility outage and distribution management solutions in July of 2004 and the subsequent merger with Synergen and their Enterprise Asset & Work Management and Mobile Workforce Management solutions in December of 2004, has made SPL WorldGroup a greater force in the enterprise solution space by offering a powerful utility-specific set of software applications for customer care and billing, enterprise asset and work management, mobile workforce management, and outage and distribution management. Utility customers can now rely on one company for any of these best-of-breed solutions or purchase them as a pre-integrated suite, avoiding the lengthy and costly multi-vendor sourcing process.

Utility industry professionals, press and analysts are invited to take the opportunity to have a hands-on experience to learn more about these proven products and the integrated software suite at the DistribuTECH 2005 Conference and Exhibition January 25-27 at the San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA. SPL will be located at booth number 1118.
