FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - December 17, 1998
Vancouver, BC -- Sideware (VSE symbol: SYD) has installed a demonstration version of Dr. Bean, an e-commerce storefront solution and
customer service tool, in Science Applications International Corporation's (SAIC) e-commerce laboratory in McLean, Va. In September 1998,
SAIC signed a marketing agreement with Sideware to provide a framework to market Sideware's e-commerce products and solutions to major
companies and government agencies.
Sideware is currently testing a demonstration storefront solution showcasing Dr. Bean, a 100 percent Java developed customer service module.
The storefront includes e-commerce components built with IBM middleware. SAIC engineers are interfacing Dr. Bean with other software
systems and demonstrating the product's applicability in an e-commerce environment to potential clients.
"SAIC is using Dr. Bean to enhance the e-commerce and non-e-commerce Internet services we provide to government and commercial
customers," said Tom Cramer, director of Electronic Commerce at SAIC. "Dr. Bean provides real time, online, interactive customer service on the
Internet."
SAIC provides high-technology products and services to government and commercial customers in the areas of information technology, systems
integration, telecommunications, national and international security, health care systems and services, energy, transportation, and environmental

employees at offices in over 150 cities worldwide. More information about SAIC can be found at www.saic.com.

DC area. By combining our revolutionary technology with SAIC's expertise, we're developing solutions to fill an existing e-commerce void,” says
James Speros, President of Sideware Corporation. “Ultimately, Sideware is combining its innovative customer service products with SAIC's
first-class integration systems and the power of IBM's e-commerce technologies to create a winning combination.”
