Construction-Specific Integrated Software Solutions Now Available as a SaaS

TORONTO – December 1st, 2008 – CMiC, the leader in providing construction software
solutions for the architectural, engineering and construction industry, announced today that CMiC
Emerging is now available for contractors who are on the verge of the next level of growth. CMiC
Emerging provides general contractors, with revenues under $250 million, with software as a
service (SaaS) applications specifically designed to help achieve growth, improve productivity
and enhance efficiency.

“Emerging companies in the past have relied on either basic spreadsheet and database
applications, or point solutions that don’t provide the efficiencies that an integrated software
solution can,” said Bassem Hamdy, vice president, solutions, CMiC. “Operating as a SaaS, CMiC
Emerging allows contractors who don’t have the technical resources to use the same robust
financial and project management capabilities enjoyed by some of the biggest and best AEC
companies in North America.”
CMiC Emerging is divided into three sections to better suit companies at different stages of
development. The first level, Getting Started, is intended for smaller contractors, and includes
financial and project management applications, human resources and document management.
The next level, On The Grow, adds more applications, including CMiC CRM, the number one
CRM solution according to recent industry surveys. The third stage is Emerging and includes
CMiC Collaboration and CMiC Imaging and Workflow, the number one imaging and workflow
solution on the market.

Drawing upon CMiC’s 34 years of experience in implementing construction specific software
solutions to leading organizations across North America, CMiC Emerging offers a comprehensive
implementation plan that can accommodate any organization, no matter the size or technical
resources. According to Hamdy, CMiC Emerging is a step towards introducing cloud computing
to the AEC industry.

“The main focus for growing contractors is completing projects,” said Hamdy,” not running and
maintaining software. CMiC Emerging gives contractors the tools to compete with larger
contractors without having to dedicate large amounts of IT resources. Being scalable, CMiC
Emerging is the last software solution a contractor will ever need. With all mission critical
information in one database, CMiC Emerging is the solution for contractors looking for
breakthrough improvements in productivity and growth.”
