BAE SYSTEMS Mission Solutions Implements FroTime's FroTools

San Diego, CA, September 10- FroTime Inc. announced today that it has received an order from BAE Systems Inc. for its FroTools software as well as the entire suite of its Pro/ENGINEER and Pro/INTRALINK Tutorials. BAE's Site License agreement with FroTime will allow the entire enterprise (worldwide) to share CAD data over the web. The agreement will also give BAE engineers access to FroTime's fast growing tutorial library providing current training materials on demand.

"With their global presence and focus on standardizing CAD tools in order to increase enterprise efficiency, we felt from the very beginning that BAE Systems was a perfect fit for our web based Intralink toolkit application, FroTools, and our entire suite of tutorials.", said Stan Balish, President/CEO of FroTime. "BAE will now be able to exchange critical data much faster among engineers as well as non engineers, who in the past did not have direct access to this type of data."

Due to the potentially large number of users having access to FroTools from different parts of the world, administration issues became a concern for BAE, but after seeing how FroTools worked there concerns disappeared. "The web based architecture of FroTools makes my job of installing and administering the software extremely simple. I don't need to worry about installing client software and I can do all my admin work from the computer on my desk." said Mike Vincent, BAE/CSC IT Application Support Specialist. "I have been working with all kinds of CAD/PDM software applications for quite some time now and FroTools is without a doubt the easiest software to install, administer and maintain that I have ever come across."

In addition to FroTools, FroTime's Pro/ENGINEER and Pro/INTRALINK tutorials also played a big role in the BAE Systems purchase. The solution that was implemented for them was to load the entire suite of tutorials on their company intranet web server in order to give instant access for all users. "Everyone here is working very hard and sometimes doing the job of two or three people. This intense pace makes going to a training class to lean a new skill very difficult. With FroTime's tutorials we can get the training we need without ever leaving the office." said Melissa Faut, BAE Systems Senior Mechanical Engineer." With FroTime's large selection of up-to-date topics and modules we feel confident that we can get all our training needs without the down-time of off site training. One other large benefit is that we can repeat the training without having to take another class if we need to brush up on certain skills."
