ALABASAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 1999--Creative Computer Applications Inc. (CCA)(AMEX:CAP - news), a provider of Clinical Information Systems for hospital, and clinic-based laboratories, pharmacies, and radiology imaging centers, Wednesday announced that it has formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, Xymed.com, that is being developed as an Application Service Provider (ASP) and a provider of data center outsourcing services. Xymed.com will offer CCA's Clinical Information Systems products to clients via private dedicated wide area networks and over the Internet. As an ASP, Xymed.com will provide software-based services to clients on a fee-for-service basis, which will eliminate a good portion of the hardware costs for servers and related equipment. Clients will make no capital outlays for servers or software, but will instead pay a monthly fee for the services. In addition, Xymed.com's staff at the Company's data center will perform the operational information technology functions normally associated with an installation. Over one year ago, CCA released a browser-enabled version of its Clinical Information Systems products and announced the release of the CCA Web-Server(TM) that provides browser access to the Company's CyberLAB II© Laboratory Information Systems and is currently in use in several client sites. Clients have employed this technology to provide low-cost access to literally thousands of physicians and other caregivers any time any where, thus providing important clinical information on an instantaneous basis. This capability leads to improved patient care and reduces costs associated with treatment. Steven M. Besbeck, President and CEO, stated: ``The formation of Xymed.com as an ASP is a logical evolution of our web strategy and is in response to inquiries by existing clients that want to reduce their information technology expenses while extending their clinical information to a broader constituency. We intend to begin offering services as early as January 2000 after the completion of our beta test. ``Xymed.com was formed to solely focus on providing application services and outsourcing and may be independently capitalized in order to pursue its business strategy.'
