CONTRACTORS, ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS BENEFIT FROM REVOLUTIONARY CHANGE MANAGEMENT APPLICATION FROM PLP

– Digital Reprographics Solution Provider Offers Visual Verification of Changes in Drawings –

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – March 4, 2003 – PLP Digital Systems, the leading digital reprographics solutions provider, today announced the release of Revision Highlighting™, a component of PlotWorks® 5.5 that compares two versions of digitally created drawings and highlights the differences. The resulting RevLine™ drawing can be printed using any output device supported by PlotWorks software, both color and black-and-white.

Revision Highlighting brings powerful benefits to contractors, engineers and architects. For example, RevLine drawings will dramatically reduce the users’ liability for missed changes because they are clearly identified in each new drawing. This feature places accountability for every change exactly where it belongs: with the person or organization that made it.

"If you miss one piece, you expose yourself to damages, omissions and errors that cost enormous amounts of time and money," said Khalil Rouhana of PCC Construction Components. "Revision Highlighting gives us a unique opportunity to capture the changes with a very high degree of accuracy and a minimal amount of time."

"Revision Highlighting dramatically decreases human error," said Vito Germinario, president of PCC Construction Components. "For instance, it’s easy to read 4'8" instead of 4'6" or 48". One incorrect dimension can cost millions of dollars and leave no recourse. Revision Highlighting makes those changes jump right out."

Consequently, Revision Highlighting dramatically reduces the amount of time spent managing change. Because project managers usually spend 15 to 20 percent of their time manually comparing drawings, the time and cost savings add up quickly.

"We have a choice of which reprographic company to use," said Vito Germinario, president of PCC Construction Components. "For PCC and other educated consumers who understand the value of Revision Highlighting, selecting a company using Revision Highlighting is the clear choice. It is going to revolutionize the industry."
