Recently Established Vroozi Division to Implement Project Valued at Approximately $1 Million in Fiscal 2012

CALABASAS, Calif., Jan. 23, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NetSol Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:NTWK), a worldwide provider of global IT and enterprise application solutions, today announced a new professional services contract with LTC Supply Source, an emerging partner in the long-term care industry's procure-to-pay arena based in Mesa, Ariz., to implement the SAP purchasing platform and smartOCI Marketplace via NetSol's Vroozi division.

Under the agreement, NetSol will assist LTC Supply Source in building a fully automated portal using the SAP Supplier Relationship Management platform and the smartOCI marketplace, which allows multiple facilities and corporate offices to seamlessly connect with vendors and ancillary service providers, as well as purchase goods and services for facility operations. The agreement is valued at approximately $1 million, which includes license and ongoing service fees. 

"By combining our SAP professional services expertise in supply chain and procurement technologies with our own smartOCI e-commerce marketplace, we are able to help LTC Supply Source build upon its leadership position in providing procurement services for the long-term care industry," said Shaz Khan, senior vice president NetSol Technologies, COO and co-founder of Vroozi. "We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship."

In addition, the parties have agreed in principle to build an industry solution extension for the smartOCI Marketplace, which will incorporate business processes and best practices in the long-term care industry. Terms for the solution extension have not yet been determined. 

"We chose NetSol because of their years of experience in SAP implementation and the power of their smartOCI software to streamline the procurement process in an intuitive, easy-to-use interface," said Stephen Olds, CEO of LTC Supply Source.

NetSol's smartOCI product is designed to facilitate the B2B procurement process by providing companies with a powerful e-commerce search engine that improves purchasing efficiencies and delivers a compelling B2C like user experience in the B2B eProcurement space. The software allows companies to access their global suppliers and retrieve competitive pricing information to meet their purchasing requirements, as well as collaborate with their suppliers to exchange and publish catalog content.
