Description - Wow its customers and give them huge productivity gains.

Press Release Body:
Dublin, Ireland, March 05, 2008 -- ParallelGraphics, the proven leader in 3D 'Visual
Know-How' software to global OEMs, today announced the massive cost savings of 80+%
that a major US Manufacturer, of aircraft engines and components has gained by
deploying Cortona3D software from ParallelGraphics to produce its fully digital
technical publications. Though impressive, the bottom line benefits are only half
the story. The interactivity and intuitiveness gained by the customer using the 3D
deliverable is enabling significant productivity enhancements to them also and bound
to revolutionise the way end users access and manage equipment technical data.

"This is an industry first. Our customer is leveraging interactive 3D content across
all its customer support information for this engine and gaining massive business
benefits from the deployment of Cortona3D. It is a very strong endorsement of our
products," said Connell Gallagher, President of ParallelGraphics. "Previously, this
US manufacturer like many more had to manually import, edit, redraw and
page-reference iterations of engineering drawings, parts lists and instructions many
times from many sources. The process was laborious and time consuming and the
contents of one manual couldn't be used in another. Now Cortona3D automates the
import and linking of engineering data. The software allows all of the resources to
be centrally managed so that future updates and revisions can be more easily and
efficiently generated," Gallagher of ParallelGraphics continued. "Also, accuracy and
quality of data are greatly improved by leveraging up to the minute content directly
from CAD. Finally, given a huge distribution network, it is a massive advantage to
this US manufacturer to be able to make deliverables available with real-time
updates online," he concludes.

Cortona3D open standards software enables organizations to reuse existing CAD data
or other 3D source material to author lightweight, interactive 3D visualizations and
simulations for more effective support documentation across business functional
areas. The software is available as an Enterprise server based solution or products
can be purchased on a modular basis. Whether for operations, service, maintenance or
repair Cortona3D uses animated 3D simulations / explosions to clearly communicate
complex procedures / assemblies. The intuitive, easy to use 3D color graphical
interface enables the user to interact - zoom, rotate and explode on screen - the
model with all meta data attached.

"Cortona3D from ParallelGraphics enables manufacturers to produce more effective
technical publications much faster and more cost effectively than before. More OEMs
like our customers Boeing, Airbus, Ford are under pressure to shorten cycle
timelines and cut costs of deliverables so demand for our software to automate
cumbersome manual processes and streamline the production of these resources is
increasing," said Connell Gallagher, President, ParallelGraphics. "On the other
side, the end user prefers to get resources - spare parts catalogs, illustrated
equipment manuals, systems descriptions that are interactive, intuitive and user
friendly so this has become a competitive differentiator when choosing one product
over another."
