London, UK - 18 February 2009 -- IDOX group (AIM:IDOX), the leading developer 
and supplier of software solutions and information services to local government, 
today announced a strategic partnership with Kirona Solutions to provide 
enterprise mobile solutions to its local authority customers. 
 
 
IDOX group and Kirona, an innovative software company dedicated to delivering 
intelligent mobile solutions across both public and private sectors, will 
combine to help local authorities achieve the next level of efficiency gains 
whilst providing a foundation for increased job satisfaction and staff 
retention. 
 
 
Richard Kellett-Clarke, IDOX group CEO said: 
 
 
"This strategic partnership with Kirona will revolutionise the capabilities of 
remote local authority workers by providing a truly integrated enterprise mobile 
solution, boosting their productivity and extracting more value from tax-payer's 
money." 
 
 
Kirona has extensive expertise of developing and delivering a wide range of 
mobile solutions whilst IDOX group's UNI-form and Plantech back-office solutions 
are currently deployed in approximately 330 local authorities. All solutions 
will be fully supported by components such as dashboard scheduling, messaging 
and lone worker safety. 
 
 
David Murray, Kirona Solutions Managing Director commented: 
 
 
"We are delighted to be working with IDOX group in these very exciting times. It 
is clear from our discussions with IDOX group that we share a common vision as 
to how intelligent mobile solutions are able to support local government in 
delivering their efficiency objectives in numerous areas as well as improving 
the nature of the work undertaken by field officers and providing a much higher 
level of health, safety and security." 
 
 
The use of intelligent mobile solutions for field workers is essential as local 
authorities are under ever increasing pressures to deliver services in the most 
efficient manner possible. Specifically, they are increasingly expected to 
deliver high quality services whilst reducing accommodation, fuel and other 
costs. 
 
 
Today's mobile solutions must meet the requirements of the local authority by 
supporting multiple communication protocols and devices, provide a viable 
operating solution where there is little or no network coverage, supplying 
management information and meeting increasing health, safety and security 
requirements. 
 
 
Andy Riley, IDOX group Sales Director added: 
 
 
"With the advent of the Gershon Efficiency Review, Hampton Review and subsequent 
initiatives such as the BERR Retail Enforcement Pilot, we felt it was essential 
to offer a best-of-breed solution based on the knowledge of our clients and 
their business, and Kirona's expertise in delivering proven mobile solutions. 
 
 
Local authorities are demanding truly enterprise mobile solutions from a single 
supplier rather than point-to-point applications from multiple suppliers. 
 
 
Our partnership with Kirona will allow our customers to acquire, directly from 
IDOX group, a comprehensive enterprise mobile solution that we believe provides 
the best flexibility and value-for-money in the market."
