AMR Research Names Entrada Software as a Leader in Emerging Collaborative Warranty System -- CWS -- Space

    SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--Feb. 6, 2001--Entrada Software Inc. (OTCBB: ETSW), the leading provider of traceability solutions for discrete manufacturers, was recently named by AMR Research as one of the leaders in the new Collaborative Warranty System (CWS) space.
    CWS is an emerging space that has developed as a result of increasing warranty costs and product recalls in the manufacturing community.
    According to the latest AMR Research Report on Manufacturing, warranty claims cost the automobile industry over $8 billion per year, and yet companies could reduce this number to less than $4 billion by installing a Collaborative Warranty System like Kinnosa from Entrada Software.
    Kinnosa allows manufacturers to reduce warranty costs by providing the ability to have a product-centric thread run throughout their entire IT structure. This thread ties all systems together, based upon product data and process information.
    "Kinnosa allows companies the ability to analyze and retrieve large amounts of data from disparate systems. This allows employees to be more proactive and can reduce the costs of warranty claims by $250 per car," said Kevin Prouty, senior automotive analyst at AMR Research.
    "We are excited to have AMR Research, one of the most respected analyst firms, identify the value Kinnosa brings to the manufacturing community," said Bruce Williams, president and chief executive officer of Entrada Software.
    "Manufacturers are held liable for the products they make. They carry the imperative that all the product information be properly collected and accessible, to help reduce defects and to facilitate recalls throughout the value chain. Consumer safety is the top priority," added Williams.
