Transformation Processing Inc. Announces Signing of
Two Municipal Government Contracts
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Canada--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 27, 1999-- Transformation Processing Inc. (OTCBB: TPII -
news) announced today that the Company has signed a professional services contract with the Regional Municipality of
Niagara and, The Regional Municipality of Durham has selected TPI to supply Year 2000 solution software.
Regional Municipality of Niagara
The Regional Municipality of Niagara recently installed new application software for accounting, financial systems and project
control. The application is being installed in an NT 4.0 network with Microsoft SQL server 6.5 (migrated from a VMS
COBOL environment). As part of the planning process, the Municipality has looked outside for broad technical expertise in
order to support this installation.
Bob Diakow, Corporate Information Systems Officer at the Regional Municipality of Niagara said, ''The region faces many IT
challenges and TPI has presented us a meaningful opportunity to effectively manage a number of these topics.'' TPI was
aggressive in its approach and it soon became apparent that TPI had the depth to fulfill the ultimate goal in this particular
project.
TPI's Director of Professional Services, Jack Waterfield said, ''The requirement in this instance is much broader than this press
release can impart. It was TPI's understanding of the their technical environment which appealed to the Municipality. We are
looking forward to a long-standing relationship with Niagara and are relying on our expertise in key areas to maintain this in
good stead''.
Regional Municipality of Durham
After reviewing a number of presentations from prospective suppliers, the Regional Municipality of Durham, as part of its
overall Year 2000 project, has selected TPI to provide, install and support IT desktop Year 2000 solution software. The
package will automate the inventory; assessment, remediation, and testing of the Regions' complete IT system including
hardware, software, spreadsheets and databases to ensure Year 2000 compliance.
David McMullen, Manager Year 2000 Projects, at the Regional Municipality of Durham said, ''The threat to the Region by
Year 2000 was a bit of a 'black hole' since it involved everything from computers and software to fire alarms and water
treatment systems. With this in mind, the region has been diligent in its effort to review the entire spectrum. In this particular
instance, TPI was selected to provide desktop IT Year 2000 solution software for the region. TPI has shown us that this
application not only inventories our IT assets but it also inspects the data stored to ensure that no hidden formulae or macros
contain dates which are non-compliant. Probably most appealing was the fact that this installation will ensure compliance after
the inventory is completed.''
TPI's Account Executive, Al Barnes said, ''TPI provided comfort in this instance by ensuring and demonstrating to the Region
of Durham that the software acquired was accurate, robust and simple to use. The application will allow the Region to actively
monitor its' entire IT enterprise for unauthorized changes or additions through the millennium thus, ensuring the integrity of their
systems' compliance and their Year 2000 IT project.''
