JERSEY CITY, NJ, May 11 (MARKET WIRE) --
HCL AXON, the world's largest services provider dedicated to SAP(R)
solutions, today announced two of its customers, The Port Authority
Trans-Hudson (PATH) Corporation and Union Pacific, along with
representatives from HCL AXON will be speaking at SAPPHIRE(R) 2009 Orlando
on May 12. Both customers will present best practices, challenges and
successes from the recent implementation of a fleet maintenance solution
supported by the new iMRO platform and discuss their recent successful
implementations of the iMRO platform and SAP BusinessObjects(TM) Business
Planning and Consolidation application, respectively. iMRO is HCL AXON's
industry solution for Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO). It is a
software product which builds on, extends and enhances the SAP(R) ERP
application.

"Each year, SAPPHIRE brings together senior executives and business
managers to explore the latest, most innovative solutions for business,"
said Ian Greenhalgh, EVP of Sales and Marketing of HCL AXON. "HCL AXON has
focused solely on delivering SAP solutions since 1994, during which period
we have delivered a significant number of innovative business
transformation programs. We are excited to share recent success stories
with both iMRO and business planning and consolidation solutions this
year."

The PATH Corporation of the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey
recently completed a rapid implementation of a maintenance solution for
its current and future fleet of railcars. Diana Beecher, chief information
officer of the New York & New Jersey Port Authority, and Dominic Brennan,
solution director of Enterprise Asset Management at HCL AXON, will present
best practices, challenges and successes from the recent implementation of
a fleet maintenance solution based on the new iMRO platform.

iMRO addresses industry-driven requirements by providing enhanced user
interfaces and built-in best practices for key processes, such as
component induction, assembly, strip and inspection, maintenance planning
and resource balancing, modification or service bulletin induction and
paperless maintenance execution with electronic logbook recording. iMRO
integrates with SAP ERP and delivers end-user benefits and efficiencies,
resulting in increased aircraft uptime, improved material support, greater
cost transparency and built-in compliance support for large organizations.
The application is used by airlines, travel and transportation
organizations, dedicated MRO providers performing third-party maintenance
services, aviation and aerospace original equipment manufacturers (OEMs),
and defense and other public sector organizations managing and maintaining
fleets of complex assets.

Union Pacific, the largest railroad in North America, covering 23 states
in the western two-thirds of the U.S. The railroad working with HCL AXON,
recently completed the implementation of a unified real-time budgeting and
planning solution of the SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation
application. With legacy processes and systems in place, Union Pacific
required real-time planning information and accuracy for a nationwide
labor force with numerous union wage agreements. Union Pacific turned to
SAP software for budgeting and planning and HCL AXON to deliver
information in minutes instead of hours. With real-time information
delivery, Union Pacific now has a unified data model with intuitive
reporting via both the desktop and Web. Aaron Pfeifer, Financial Manager
at Union Pacific and Brad Olson, senior solution consultant, BPC at HCL
AXON, will speak on the best practices, and successes of the
implementation of the SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation
application at Union Pacific.

The SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation application is the
industry-leading unified solution for planning, budgeting, financial
reporting and consolidation. As a business user-focused solution, it's
ideal for the needs of operational and financial users in all industries.

HCL AXON is dedicated to SAP solutions and has implemented the planning
and consolidation application for hundreds of major organizations of all
sizes and in multiple industries worldwide. This experience, combined
with HCL AXON's unparalleled functional and technical expertise, helps
deliver to customers the benefits of the planning and consolidation
application faster and at a lower overall total cost of ownership.

The presentation with PATH is titled "Fleet Maintenance - The Quick Path
to Realization" and will be held at 11:45 a.m. on May 12 in the Public
Services Village at SAPPHIRE. The presentation with Union Pacific is
titled "How Union Pacific is Driving Budgeting & Planning with SAP
