Tempe, AZ - May 3, 2005 - The JNPSoft team has just returned from the National Catalog Managers Association (NCMA) Knowledge Exchange held in Tempe, Arizona on April 30 to May 3rd.

This year's conference offered a novelty - ACES Clinics, in which selected software vendors were allowed to present their wares to prospective clients via two 1-hour sessions. An interesting twist was added, in that an existing user of the software, rather than vendor representatives, were to give the presentation.

JNPSoft was privileged to have Mr. Craig Isaac, Sales Manager, from Wholesale Parts Direct, demonstrate the full potential of the PartCat™ solution and its ACES mapping capabilities. WPD has been using the PartCat™ solution throughout their enterprise for several years.

Over 40 manufacturers attended the two sessions to hear Mr. Isaac demonstrate, not only the PartCat™ solution, but also his expansive knowledge of the Automotive Aftermarket Industry. Attendees really liked the product's ease of use, the quality and efficiency in which the AAIA ACES standards were validated resulting in cleansed product data.

Scott Luckett, Vice President, Technology Standards and Solutions, AAIA, attended one of the JNPSoft sessions and said "This is the kind of technology needed in this industry if we want the data to be right". The level of ACES validation with PartCat™ impressed him.

The exhibitor show, held on May 2nd, allowed manufacturers to see up close and hands on all the functionality PartCat™ has to offer including:

• Ability to map fully validated catalog data in the new ACES format.
• Advanced publishing of a paper catalog, or portions thereof, using templates and/or a customized print format.
• Facilitated data input via a text file

The NCMA conference organizers outdid themselves once again and JNPSoft would like to thanks these volunteers for their achievements
