WellPoint Systems Reshapes Enterprise Asset Management With DAXEAM, a Microsoft Dynamics AX Solution

CALGARY, Canada, April 21, 2010--

     - DAXEAM Extends the Value of Microsoft Dynamics AX for Asset Intensive
Operations

    WellPoint Systems Inc., (TSX-V:WPS), a leading provider of software and
related solutions that transform complex data into Business Insight, today
announced the launch of DAXEAM its Enterprise Asset Management solution.
Powered by Microsoft Dynamics AX, DAXEAM is an enterprise asset maintenance
solution that manages the complete asset life cycle. DAXEAM is fully
integrated with Microsoft Dynamics AX, providing equipment and asset
maintenance to AX customers in asset intensive industries. As a native
Microsoft Dynamics AX module, DAXEAM integrates maintenance operations with
Microsoft Dynamics AX's back office ERP functions. DAXEAM will be unveiled at
the Microsoft Convergence Conference in Atlanta, Georgia - Booth 1311.

    DAXEAM is designed and built from the ground up as a true 'enterprise'
maintenance solution for Microsoft Dynamics AX. DAXEAM takes advantage of the
power of Microsoft Dynamics AX providing a single, seamless environment for
users and eliminating costly and inefficient integrations. DAXEAM works with
Microsoft Dynamics AX - not against it - thereby maximizing a company's
ability to affect true enterprise-wide efficiencies. As a native Microsoft
Dynamics AX module, there is nothing extra to build, customize or maintain.
From the first day, users will be working in a single, familiar Microsoft
Dynamics AX environment.

    "DAXEAM is the best example of how an integrated, Microsoft Dynamics AX
based, Enterprise Asset Management solution can deliver value to our end
customers in asset intensive industries," said Martin Wildsmith, Business
Development Director at Eclipse - a Microsoft Dynamics AX Partner of the Year
Finalist. "By making full use of core Microsoft Dynamics AX functionality
DAXEAM is far easier for our team to implement and take live than trying to
hook in a non Microsoft Dynamics AX stand alone solution. Additionally,
DAXEAM provides end-users with a world class, highly-responsive, cross-
platform user interface. This is exactly the architecture a modern business
enterprise needs."

    "We are pleased with the continued improvements in the product and
marketing direction of DAXEAM," said Crispin Read, general manager, Microsoft
ERP. "DAXEAM extends the value of Microsoft Dynamics AX, providing an
innovative solution for customers in asset intensive industries."

    Innovation for the End-User

    DAXEAM provides the user with a single point of data entry, single source
of records for vendors, inventory, assets and more. A unified environment
between maintenance operations and the back office for security, logistics,
workflow and reporting enables true 'enterprise' asset management.

    As a result, DAXEAM is able to

   
    -   Reduce operational inefficiencies
    -   Eliminate multiple data sources and the effort to reconcile disparate
        data sources
    -   Optimize human and material resource utilization
    -   Provide real-time visibility into maintenance operations
    -   Increase accuracy and timeliness of maintenance forecasting and
        planning

     As a native Microsoft Dynamics AX module, DAXEAM uses familiar, standard
AX navigation; therefore users are instantly comfortable in navigating and
using DAXEAM. IT staff can support and maintain DAXEAM with little added
overhead as DAXEAM is a native Microsoft Dynamics AX module; even security
profiles are common between DAXEAM and AX.

    Most 'standalone' equipment maintenance solutions require costly and
inherently complex integrations. Duplicate databases are required for
important corporate data such as vendor files, purchase orders, inventory,
receiving and matching. DAXEAM eliminates these costly, inherently risky
integration points. DAXEAM shares vendors, purchasing, inventory and
receiving with Microsoft Dynamics AX. There are no multiple data entry
points, no need to 'synchronize' files and no need to create costly data
reconciliations between two systems. DAXEAM is a true 'Enterprise' asset
maintenance solution.

    "The launch of DAXEAM is the culmination of months of collaboration with
Microsoft, our customers and partners and analysis of the EAM marketplace,"
said Phil Earle, DAXEAM Business Unit Director, WellPoint Systems. "Partners
and customers alike told us they wanted a fully integrated EAM solution - one
that takes full advantage of the combined force of DAXEAM's maintenance
functionality, fully integrated with Microsoft Dynamics AX, providing a true
'enterprise' based asset maintenance solution."

    DAXEAM will be available in the 2nd quarter of 2010; for more information
