Press Release Summary: 12th August 2008, Old Woking, Surrey - Aligned Assets can
announce today the winning of a significant contract to supply South Gloucestershire
Council with their Symphony Gazetteer Management System.

Press Release Body: Taking advantage of Aligned Assets' competitive upgrade package,
South Gloucestershire replaced their existing Northgate system with a complete
package from Aligned Assets that will allow them to manage, validate and share their
Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG).

Aligned Assets iManage, combines power and usability with an intuitive,
user-friendly interface that makes it the one of the most highly regarded GMS in the
industry. The first system to achieve BS7666:2006 compliance, iManage has continued
to be at the forefront of gazetteer management that has seen their client base
steadily grow within Local Government and now the Emergency Services.

Additional features that South Gloucestershire Council will now be able to take
advantage of include automatic updates to the Hub via Symphony iExchange and the
ability to protect the quality of the data using Symphony iValidate. The matching
of their other address data to the LLPG with Symphony iMatch will enable them to
comply with the CORE initiative and authority wide access to the LLPG will be
available through Symphony iSearchWeb.

ICT Applications Manager at South Gloucestershire Matthew Toms said of the deal,
"Aligned Assets have a strong reputation in the gazetteer sector. We found that not
only were they the company that could best fulfill our requirements but also scored
very highly with their customer service and on-going support. We feel they clearly
provide the best solution on the market for our needs."
