(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 28, 2001 ) Southborough, Mass. - - ViryaNet Ltd. (Nasdaq: VRYA), a provider of wireless workforce management solutions for field service communities, today announced the availability of Service Hub for Mid-Market, a solution for medium-sized service companies. Service Hub for Mid-Market is a fixed, pre-packaged solution that delivers the core capabilities and functionality of ViryaNet's Service Hub for Enterprises, and which can be installed in an accelerated timeframe. Service Hub for Mid-Market's rapid implementation addresses critical needs of the small to medium-sized company, allowing these organizations to be quick-to-market with an automated workforce solution, enabling competitive differentiation.

"This initiative evolved after learning that many small to mid-sized companies felt they were not large enough to use the full complement of capabilities and functionality in Service Hub," said Glenn Martin, vice president of product marketing, ViryaNet. "This ViryaNet solution expands our market penetration capability and offers the expanded marketplace a sophisticated solution that's competitively priced. This offering also helps ViryaNet remain strategically positioned."

With Service Hub for Mid-Market, companies with 25-100 field service engineers can install, configure, and deploy an adaptable subset of wireless workforce management modules without requiring extensive consulting and project management. Service Hub for Mid-Market includes Service Hub's core workforce management functionality, fixed service delivery, an accelerated implementation timeframe, and a predetermined price that includes implementation costs.

"Core functionality allows our customers to review service level agreements, schedule and dispatch field staff, manage their operations using pre-configured key performance indicators, monitor workforce performance, and measure and analyze service activity," continued Martin. "Packaged professional services are included with Service Hub for Mid-Market, with an accelerated delivery period. Eventually, customers will be able to select from a menu of the modules and capabilities that are available at different price points."

"Companies can now acquire a wireless workforce management solution that fits their enterprise, matches their budget, and provides the tools enabling them to become a top-service performer in their market. For an additional fee, Service Hub for Mid-Market can be upgraded to the Service Hub for Enterprises version at a later time," concluded Martin.
Service Hub for Mid-Market, developed for organizations with 25-100 field engineers, is priced based on the number of users and functionality deployed by an organization, and begins at $295,000 for the first 50 users. ViryaNet's Service Hub for Mid-Market is immediately available for implementation.
