HOUSTON--(Business Wire)--
INX Inc., (NASDAQ:INXI) announced today that it has been awarded a $1.4M Managed
Services contract for Watts Regulator.

Watts Regulator has awarded INX with a $1.4M contract to provide an integrated
managed services solution for its Data Center and IT Service departments. Faced
with a need to cut costs throughout the company during the recent economic
downturn, Watts Regulator decided to downsize its IT headcount. Reduction of
headcount hindered the ability of Watt`s IT department to balance their demand
for service to the end user community while continuing to manage their existing
IT infrastructure. The managed service solution addresses these needs by
allowing Watts to outsource the management of their data center operations,
Cisco Unified Communications solution, and security tools. The offering
leverages multiple industry-leading management applications that enable INX to
provide specific service that addresses the unique and individual business
requirements that Watts has. 

Commenting on the contract award, Ethan Simmons, INX Regional Manager, said,
"During these challenging economic times our clients are finding it burdensome
to effectively support the array of technologies, tools, and resources that
their business requires to be competitive. INX Managed Services allows our
customers to leverage our people, processes, and our best-of-class platform to
realize greater operational efficiently, thereby reducing costs, while at the
same time providing a higher level of availability and customer service to their
users and end customers." 

Key contacts at Watts Regulator worked with INX to develop a phased approach to
Managed Services. The first phase leveraged the INX platform to proactively
manage the Watts network infrastructure and Cisco Unified Communications
network. The next phase provided a comprehensive security management service
that actively monitors the Watts IT infrastructure for network anomalies. The
Datacenter Management phase encompasses 92 Windows servers and eight VMware ESX
servers. Management of these servers includes assisting Watts Regulator with
accurate documentation, continuous oversight of key production servers and
management of formal escalation and communication procedures. The final phase of
the solution, Service Desk, is the primary interface to the end-user and
coordinates change requests, addresses problems, communicates service goals, and
monitors customer satisfaction. In this case, INX Service Desk supports the
Watts Regulator end user community of approximately 1,600. 

Watts Regulator chose INX for this Managed Services solution based upon the
working relationship that had been developed over the previous two years.
Historically, INX had worked with Watts Regulator on Cisco Advanced Technology
Solutions such as Unified Communications and Network Security. 

"INX Managed Services has allowed the Watts Regulator IT team to provide a
robust service desk to the end user community and to manage our Windows and
VMware server infrastructure in the wake of IT headcount cutbacks, all without
missing a beat," said Ty Muscat, Watts Regulator Director of Datacenter. 

The contract is for a period of two years.
