Vectren Corporation's Vectren Energy Featured Speaker ViryaNet Limited (Nasdaq: VRYA), a leading provider of solutions that automate business processes for mobile workforce management and field service delivery, announced today that it will conduct an industry web seminar entitled "Optimizing Field Resources: The Value as Experienced by Vectren Corporation". The web seminar will be presented live by Rick Schach, Vice President, Vectren Energy Delivery, and Jack McAvoy, Vice President of Marketing, ViryaNet, and will be followed by a question and answer session. The seminar will take place on Tuesday, May 9, 2006 from 12:00 PM to 12:45 PM EDT. Attendees will learn how Vectren, a GE Energy customer since 1997 and ViryaNet customer since early 2004, has benefited from ViryaNet's mobile workforce management solution, a product that serves as the foundation for GE Energy's Field Force Automation (FFA) Solution, in terms of optimizing its resources, reducing travel time and overtime, and improving customer service and satisfaction. This FFA solution can help companies reduce their field service expenses by improving the assignment and execution of field work through optimization. The seminar, targeted towards companies with field service operations, will discuss industry best practices, real-life examples, and solution benefits of the ViryaNet Service Scheduler, an advanced optimization and scheduling product, which includes algorithms that are based on heuristic logic and mathematical principles. "Service Scheduler has generated incremental savings in areas of less drive time and reduced overtime, said Rick Schach, Vice President, Vectren Energy Delivery." "Many workforce management vendors say that they have optimization, but there are significantly different approaches within the market", stated Jack McAvoy, Vice President of Marketing, ViryaNet. "Whereas other products offer route optimization, which simply finds the least-cost route for a technician after service orders already have been assigned, ViryaNet offers day-ahead as well as same-day schedule optimization, which evaluates all potential assignments against the available and capable resources, including people (and their skills), parts, and materials. It also provides the least costly route of each technician across his service assignments." To register for the web seminar, visit www.viryanet.com or call 800-661-7096.
