DALLAS and TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19 1999-- Xenos Group (TSE: XNS - news), a leader in software for online statement and bill presentment, today announced a formal partnership with IBM®, makers of IBM EDMSuite OnDemand, a powerful client/server COLD (Computer Output to Laser Disk) and Enterprise Report Management solution.
