                         ("Craneware" or the "Company") 
 
                         Reseller Agreement with Premier 
              Five year deal with a $15 million minimum sales value 
 
21 April 2010-Craneware plc (AIM: CRW.L), the market leader in automated revenue 
integrity solutions for the US healthcare market, is pleased to announce the 
expansion of its relationship with the Premier healthcare alliance. The new deal 
between Craneware and Premier is a five-year reseller agreement, with a minimum 
value of $15 million. The Company's revenue recognition policy means that the 
revenue derived from the agreement is expected to become meaningful in 
Craneware's financial year beginning 1st July 2011. 
 
Under the agreement, Premier will offer Craneware's Revenue Integrity 
Solutions(TM) including Craneware's newest solution, Supplies ChargeLink(TM) to 
its 2,300 not-for-profit hospital alliance members, providing them a way to 
reduce revenue leakage, operate more efficiently and manage compliance. This is 
an evolution of a three year agreement signed with Premier in April 2009. 
 
"Premier recognizes that hospitals may have revenue leakage stemming from their 
reimbursable supplies that is not addressed by existing technology solutions," 
said Wes Champion, Senior Vice President of Premier Consulting Solutions. 
"Craneware's latest offering coupled with Premier Consulting Solutions will help 
our members ensure the money they spend on drugs and chargeable supplies is 
reimbursed, assisting them with managing costs and driving overall financial 
improvement." 
 
As part of the agreement, Craneware will also market Premier Consulting 
Solutions(TM), which help hospitals reduce costs, increase margins and improve 
quality. As a result, the partnership will provide an even stronger return on 
investment for hospitals looking to increase cash flow and reduce compliance 
risks. 
 
Keith Neilson, CEO of Craneware commented, "Together, Craneware and Premier help 
hospitals achieve financial stability, while reducing costs and compliance 
risks. Premier's proven results and high-quality expertise complement 
Craneware's industry-ranked revenue integrity solutions in a way that is 
enabling U.S. healthcare providers to improve their financial performance. This 
five-year commitment adds another layer of visibility onto our growing total of 
future contracted revenues and gives us great confidence in our continued 
momentum." 
 
Today, more than 1,000 U.S. healthcare provider organizations use Craneware 
solutions to proactively identify and prevent revenue leakage. Craneware's 
Revenue Integrity Solutions consist of three product families: Revenue Cycle, 
Strategic Pricing and Supply Management.
