    Infonic helps connect remote oil rigs to a global SharePoint portal

    Infonic plc, the AIM listed provider of information management software, announces the completion of a software deal with Atwood
Oceanic, the Houston-based offshore oil drilling company. Infonic's Geo-Replicator software is being installed at Atwood Oceanic's
headquarters and on ten off-shore drilling rigs in the Mediterranean, the Gulf of Mexico and off the coasts of Southeast Asia and Australia.
 Infonic's software will enable workers on those remote drilling rigs to have uninterrupted access to Atwood Oceanic's Microsoft SharePoint
business portal which is hosted at its Houston headquarters.

    The solution has been deployed in partnership with AIS, the supplier of systems engineering and solutions to a range of US government
agencies and Fortune 1000 companies. 

    Infonic CEO Mark Thompson commented "Infonic's software is being deployed in a new part of the oil and gas industry as a result of this
deal.  We already have a strong foothold in replicating data to oil tanker fleets, but this is the first significant deal where our software
is used to replicate data to oil drilling rigs.  This order shows that we are able to extend the use of our software into new environments
and proves the value that our software can bring to the energy industry."

      About Infonic plc
    Infonic is a global leader in providing unique software focusing on document and text capture, distribution and analysis. Infonic's
software is used every day to improve efficiency for some of the world's leading companies, military and maritime organisations and
government departments.

    Infonic was founded in 2000 and listed on AIM in 2003 (previously named Corpora plc).

    Infonic makes three core software technologies: 

    Geo-Replicator software uses powerful, patented data compression and synchronisation technology to replicate data rapidly between
servers and laptops and server-to-server. This is vital where servers are separated geographically and data transmission would ordinarily be
slow and where personnel work remotely but need access to replicated data in the field. 

    Document Management software makes possible the digital capture, storage, search and retrieval of any type of document, including
scanned images, word documents, e-mails and pdfs. Our software enables businesses to dispense with hard copy filing and stores documents in
secure folder systems which permitted users can access simultaneously.

    Text Analytics software automatically understands, analyses and reports on the underlying events and sentiment behind thousands of news
stories, reading unstructured news in milliseconds and presenting the end user with an instant understanding of content. Sentiment has a
number of applications such as giving financial traders a time advantage in understanding whether the news sentiment behind a stock is
positive, negative or neutral.
