ITIS HOLDINGS AGREES MAJOR 3 YEAR CONTRACT WITH BMW FOR RDS TMC TRAFFIC SERVICE

ITIS Holdings plc (ITIS) today announces the largest contract to date for its
RDS TMC (Radio Data System - Traffic Message Channel) service.

Under the terms of a new three year agreement with BMW, RDS TMC will be standard
with immediate effect on all BMW vehicles sold with factory installed satellite
navigation systems and will be available as an upgrade on all DVD based
navigation systems already installed since September 2002.

RDS TMC will be the only traffic information service to be featured as standard
on BMW vehicles and will provide driver enhancement by allowing drivers to
receive real time and predictive traffic information from ITIS enabling them to
avoid and re-route around traffic congestion on the strategic UK road network.

ITIS traffic information combines AA Roadwatch and Floating Vehicle Data (FVD)
which is then broadcast using bandwidth licenced exclusively by the Radio
Authority to ITIS until 2012.

Lee Connolly, BMW Product Manager said: 'Following the introduction of RDS TMC
on the 7 Series it was a logical development for BMW to standardise this
important driver benefit across our entire range of vehicles. Satellite
Navigation is a key requirement for many of our customers and with the added
benefit of RDS-TMC drivers will be able to make informed routing decisions based
upon the prevailing traffic conditions.  This could save them time and improve
the quality of their journey and driving experience'

Stuart Marks, Chief Executive, ITIS Holdings commented: 'This is our largest
contract for RDS-TMC and builds upon our strong relationship with BMW. It
immediately delivers substantial on going revenues to the business and
demonstrates that RDS TMC has now been accepted by vehicle manufacturers as the
industry standard for dynamic route guidance. BMW join a growing list of vehicle
manufacturers including, Toyota, Saab, Ford Motor Company and Subaru who already
successfully operate this service'.
