    Transoft Solutions Introduces SIGMA</h4>
<p>
    <b>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</b><br />
    <b>July 27, 2009 – Vancouver, BC, Canada </b>
</p>
<p>
    Transoft Solutions, developers of industry leading software for the global engineering
    and architectural communities, announces the launch of SIGMA, a new traffic sign
    planning software solution. SIGMA has been developed for Traffic Engineers and Maintenance
    Engineers to design, maintain, and report, on CAD generated traffic signing as well
    as temporary traffic control signing plans through supported sign libraries. Shipping
    will begin on Thursday July 28, 2009 with a special introduction to SIGMA webcasts
    being conducted on July 28th and 30th.
</p>
<p>
    "SIGMA is set to revolutionize the manner in which traffic engineers and maintenance
    operations design and manage roadway traffic signing plans," said Michael Frost,
    Product Manager. "This software delivers what is needed in the AEC industry right
    now – a productivity enhancing, practical solution that provides substantial value."
</p>
<p>
    SIGMA gives users the ability to easily search Federal / State Standard sign libraries,
    GuidSIGN signs, or user-defined simple CAD drafted cell / block drawings to create
    placeable sign assemblies. Users can search the SIGMA sign libraries without having
    to know the sign's reference number and create sign assemblies quickly and easily.
    Through the Create Sign Assembly tool, users can create a sign assembly that supports
    typical mounting types and options, multiple sign facings, as well as assembly status
    by using included typical sign arrangements or by dynamic arrangement.
</p>
<p>
    The placement process allows the user to drag the assembly parallel to either a
    reference line / stationing alignment, or offset reference geometry (edge of pavement),
    or enter a specific distance / station. The wizard-like placement process is a set
    of specific steps that allows the user to proceed or go back steps to make adjustments
    as needed. Once a sign is placed, the Report Manager allows the user to define and
    save customized reports in .CSV format for importation into the user's preferred
    spreadsheet application.
</p>
<p>
    SIGMA comes with one library of choice at time of purchase. To provide users with
    maximum value and minimum costs, additional libraries are available for purchase
    separately so that engineers have what is needed without paying for libraries that
    are not required. Currently, there are 5300 US signs available in 11 libraries with
    5000 signs – including signs for Canada and Australia – to be released in the near
    future.
