Geac Wins US$800,000 Software and Services Contract With Prominent Hong Kong-Based Clothing Manufacturer

Singapore and Markham, Canada (ots/PRNewswire)

- Smart Shirts Limited Purchases Geac RunTime Product Lifecycle
Management Solution to Meet Changing Customer Demands, Improve
Internal Communications and Efficiency
Geac (TSX: GAC, NASDAQ: GEAC) today announced it has won a
contract valued at more than US$800,000 with Smart Shirts Limited of
Hong Kong, a subsidiary of Kellwood Company (NYSE: KWD), a leading
marketer of apparel and consumer soft goods. Smart Shirts
manufactures a range of products for many major brands and retailers,
including Polo Ralph Lauren, Nautica, Claiborne, Land's End, Dockers,
Timberland and L.L. Bean.
Smart Shirts has purchased a product lifecycle management (PLM)
solution from RunTime, Geac's specialist division dedicated to the
apparel and footwear industry. The RunTime software is expected to be
used across Smart Shirts locations in Asia and New York. It will
enable tighter integration and coordination of operations such as
shipments, orders, and deliveries across departments at Smart Shirts.
Changes in any of these will now be communicated automatically via a
workflow tool within the RunTime product, which will also maintain a
history of any changes. In addition, the Geac software will help
Smart Shirts work more closely with its clients to deliver new styles
to their stores, and will maintain a knowledge base of existing and
previous styles created.
Smart Shirts plans to integrate RunTime into its existing Geac
System21 ERP system. Smart Shirts has been a Geac System21 customer
since 1996.
"Our new Geac PLM solution will help Smart Shirts become a far
more efficient and effective business," said Gerald Rhoads, Vice
President of Administration & Finance at Smart Shirts. "We are
excited about the opportunity this technology affords us to improve
our customer service by more tightly coordinating our operations
internally, and by streamlining key aspects of our client
communications."
"This is Geac's most significant win in Asia in several years, and
further validates our organic growth efforts in the region," Charles
S. Jones, Geac's president and chief executive officer, said. "On the
heels of our RunTime win at sportswear manufacturer Rip Curl in
Australia, we are encouraged by the market traction Geac is achieving
in the fashion and apparel sector in the Asia-Pacific region."
Geac RunTime is a state-of-the-art product lifecycle management
solution offering web-based collaboration, visual merchandising,
mobile tools for off- line users, pro-active workflow and full ERP
integration. Geac RunTime software is designed to be operated either
in a distributed or centralised environment. It runs on Intel servers

manage expenses effectively and maintain profitability; our ability
to achieve revenue from products and services that are under
development; the uncertain effect of the competitive environment in
which we operate and resulting pricing pressures; and whether the
anticipated effects and results of our new product offerings and
successful product implementation will be realised. These and other
