healthcare orga-nizations, has leased an addi-tional 30,000 sq ft of office
space in Chennai to meet its expansion needs. With this, iSOFT's total usage
increases to 90,000 sq ft in Chennai.

Equally as important to note, iSOFT's strategy of targeting office space at
emp-loyee-convenient and accessi-ble locations, the fresh addi-tions further
develop iSOFT's existing city center locations.

According to the press release, the infrastructure expansion is consistent
with iSOFT's headcount growth. Starting the year 2004 with 250 employees,
iSOFT is conclu-ding the year with more than 1,100 as part of an aggressive
development plan for its flagship product Lorenzo. Keeping in mind the important
role iSOFT is playing in National Program for IT (world's largest civilian IT
project initiated by NHS, U.K.), iSOFT's product development facility in
Chennai is at the heart of designing the next generation of IT products based on
'Service Oriented Architecture'.

Commenting on the recent expansion, iSOFT Indian operations CEO Ravan Boddu
said, "Starting the year with 250 employees, we have been increasing the
headcount at a rapid rate. Our office space requirements have also increased
proportionately and I am happy to see that we have managed the expansion within
the city. Being a product-company, driven by innovation, it is critical that we
offer an extremely convenient and accessible workplace to our employees."
