Tobin Launches Tobin InSight, A Revolutionary System Integrating Both Geo-Spatial And Business Information Into A Single, Dynamic Information Resource


"Tobin InSight brings previously complicated and incompatible geographic and business information technologies together and makes them accessible to people across the entire enterprise, " says Dr. Charles Ivey, President and CEO of Tobin International, Ltd.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, March 18, 2002 - Tobin International Ltd. announces the introduction of Tobin InSight, a complete system of access, interchange and storage technologies that brings previously complicated and incompatible geographic and business information together and makes it accessible to people across the enterprise. Tobin InSight was designed to combine and simplify the workflow processes of a company's geo-business information operations while working in conjunction with their existing technologies.

"More than 30 years of technological advancements have produced a myriad of geographic and business data formats and applications. Companies possess vast amounts of valuable geo-
business information and much more can be acquired from external sources. The problem has been very little of this information is easily accessible and usable...until today!" said Jim McNeil,
Executive Vice President, Business Opportunities/Corporate Development.

With Tobin InSight, professionals throughout an organization can have a customized central point of managing, visualizing, analyzing and reporting geo-business information. Tobin InSight helps shorten business processes and reduce data management costs while allowing staff across the company to make more informed geo-business decisions. For example, once a geologist has created a prospect area with wells and seismic, he could export the project into a Tobin InSight product with the click of a button. Utilizing the Tobin InSight system, he would be able to bring in the company's lease, contract, ownership, competitor information, orthophotographs, etc. After pulling together the complete project, the geologist could then export it to another application or plot it to hard copy.

Tobin InSight is a framework of technology components that creates a dynamic geo-business information system. It is an open architecture platform for spatial and business data management,
integration, access and usage. Tobin InSight is compatible with most existing software and data sources. It does not force the replacement of anything, but happily co-exists with the current
technology. Providing a central point of managing, visualizing, analyzing and reporting geo-business information, Tobin InSight streamlines operations and enhances performance. The system can increase profits by shortening business process cycle times and reducing surface data management costs allowing professionals to make more informed business decisions.

Tobin Insight is comprised of three highly integrated components. Each component contributes a distinct advantage to the overall system, as well as, offering an array of specialized products and services. The components are data management, visualization and decision support, and administration and integration. Tobin InSight components can be installed, integrated, configured and, if needed, tailored to customer requirements by the Tobin Services Group. Tobin Services
are a comprehensive family of resources that enable a company to build and maintain a geo-business information system specifically suited to its requirements. Tobin Services provides all a company needs to make the best choices in developing and sustaining an optimal geo-business information system.

Tobin InSight is modular and can be configured to suit any environment. Pricing is dependent on the configuration and number of seats licensed. Tobin Insight will begin shipping April 15th 2002.
