LAS VEGAS—(BUSINESS WIRE)—October 22, 2008— TRIRIGA®, the leading provider of real estate and facilities management software, commences its annual user conference this week in Las Vegas and welcomes a record number of attendees and industry luminaries to discuss Building a Sustainable Future. With 400+ executives and senior managers in attendance, the conference validates the need to devote more resources to improving environmental performance, despite tightening budgets in todays economy. TRIRIGA meets this need with TREES (TRIRIGA Real Estate Environmental Sustainability) the first and only environmental management system to measure, manage and reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from buildings and customer adoption is increasing at a record pace.

By implementing Web-based operations, facilities and real estate management solutions with more than one-third of the Fortune 100 companies, TRIRIGA has found that many organizations today prioritize measuring and understanding their exact carbon footprints and levels of energy consumption. With TREES, TRIRIGA is giving customers a clear path to improved and measured environmental performance the company calls this carbon health and its Customer Advisory Board (CAB) members were integral to the design and development of the software. CAB members participating in this weeks Building a Sustainable Future user conference span a range of industries, including: financial services, life sciences, technology, media, telecommunications, consumer and industrial products, retail and energy. CAB membership is up 35% this year, and environmental sustainability is a central focus.

At the conference this week, TRIRIGA customers and CAB members will join energy and green building luminaries including Marc Heisterkamp, Market Development Manager for the U.S. Green Building Council, George Bouri, Principal in Deloitte's Strategy & Operations Consulting Practice and Dr. Stephen Stokes, Vice President of Business and Climate Change for AMR Research. In addition, Senator Fred Thompson, a strong supporter of market-based solutions for solving Americas carbon emissions challenges, will deliver the keynote address. Senator Thompson will discuss impending federal regulations surrounding environmental sustainability and their impact on businesses.

Adapting to and developing sustainable business practices should be axiomatic for all businesses, as they provide a potent change management and business improvement vehicle to reduce bottom-line costs via energy-efficiency measures, optimization of transportation, and logistics, storage, and waste, said Dr. Stephen Stokes, Vice President of Business and Climate Change for AMR Research. At TRIRIGAs conference, I look forward to discussing how organizations can cross the great divide and create authentic leadership and strategic sustainability for a Carbon Healthy Organization.

Rising energy costs and impending government regulations on energy and buildings are some of the top concerns among the Fortune 1000 today, and those organizations need a reliable and immediate way to translate corporate environmental goals into results, said George Ahn, President and CEO of TRIRIGA. We help organizations achieve results today by giving them the tools they need to focus on their buildings, the largest environmental culprit contributing to 48% of green house gas emissions. We are excited that our traditional real estate and facilities customers and TREES customers are all coming together at this historic conference.
