Interactive Objects beats competition to win tender from AB Svensk Bilprovning, the Swedish Vehicle Inspection Company

Freiburg, Germany, 28 June 2006: Interactive Objects announced today that it will provide AB Svensk Bilprovning, the Swedish Vehicle Inspection Company, with a comprehensive range of MDA development tools, which will help Bilprovningen to further optimize their customer offerings, including vehicle inspection and related services. Interactive Objects’ tools will be leveraged to enhance key IT systems which allow Bilprovningen to ensure cost effectiveness and regulatory compliance, and help increasing road safety, protecting the environment and improving vehicle economy in Sweden.

To fill Bilprovningen’s need for a modeling and MDA tool – as well as additional required support – a tender was sought for a support contract between Bilprovningen and one supplier. “Tender offers from almost all leading MDA tool vendors were submitted. Bilprovningen recognizes Interactive Objects as the winner. We thank all participants of this tender.”

Erich Gerber, CEO of Interactive Objects, commented, “For this tender, our ArcStyler™ product successfully competed on technology, performance, cost and support quality against better known vendors, solidifying our place among the leading development tool provider in the Scandinavian Region. Bilprovningen is recognized in Europe as a leading user of advanced information technology, and we are excited to be working with them.”

Bilprovningen started their search for an MDA development tool over one year ago. The tender process was very extensive. A significant number of vendors and systems was analyzed with utmost detail. By Bilprovningen’s total assessment, Interactive Objects filed the most financially attractive offer. ArcStyler fulfils all requirements: technology and functionality were excellent; iO’s reference projects apply well to the stated content and scope of the current project; the feedback from the references is very good; the support organization is excellent and has good availability; and ArcStyler’s price is competitive.
