September 1, 2009

Enables Direct, Searchable Access to Premier e-Codes Database within Industry-Leading Plan Review Application

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — September 1, 2009 — Avolve Software Corporation, developers of ProjectDox® ePlan and collaboration software and the International Code Council (ICC), the world’s premier provider of regulatory compliance standards for design and construction, announced today that the ICC’s digital code products, known as e-Codes, will be made directly accessible through Avolve Software’s ProjectDox ePlan solution user-interface, as part of a joint sales and technology partnership between the two companies that will enable faster, more accurate compliance review processes for governmental jurisdictions.

The partnership addresses a significant function of construction permitting and plan review, namely the research and presentation of relevant building codes necessary for structural safety, as well as regulatory and environmental standards compliance. The ICC’s e-Codes online subscription service and user-interface will now be directly accessible to plan reviewers using ProjectDox.

“The advantages of supplying compliance codes directly to our end-users within an electronic plan review solution like ProjectDox are self-evident: combining functionality will bring increased efficiencies into day-to-day operations,” said Drew Azzara, Vice President of International Services at ICC. “As ICC is one of the premier suppliers of compliance codes globally, integration between the codes and inspection/plan review software applications is an area we are committed to assisting in enhancing. It is customer¬-driven and a distinctive mark of ICC’s leadership.”

The ICC’s e-Codes online subscription portal – www.ecodes.biz – is the most complete source of information for building and construction codes on the web. The site offers a number of code database products, including the “Premier e-Codes” service – ICC’s most comprehensive offering. Under the terms of the partnership, Avolve Software will incorporate Premier e-Codes portal into ProjectDox, and become a value-added reseller (VAR) for ICC e-Codes subscriptions. Plan reviewers will have access to powerful search tools, create their own custom code libraries and will have access to their ICC e-Codes database anytime and anywhere.

“Plan examiners have been forced to perform a number of labor-intensive tasks in order to provide code compliance information with their plan reviews, and we’re changing that forever,” said Ron Loback, CEO and President of Avolve Software. “With ICC eCodes built-in, ProjectDox electronic plan review becomes the ultimate streamlining toolset for building code-compliance – and the benchmark for industry best-practices.”
