EnRol Completes Millennium Toolkit biz.yahoo.com WACO, TX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 15, 1999--EnRol Corporation (NASDAQ: ENRL - News) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Continua Systems, Inc. has now introduced, as part of a comprehensive millennium product range, a world-class data diagnostic software application -- Millennium Advisor cellutions.com. Millennium Advisor is described in the Microsoft TechNet Site under the page Year 2000 Tools as a product that may be able to assist consumers in their Year 2000 remediation efforts. One of the biggest problems in organizations today is the in-depth Year 2000 analysis required on spreadsheets and databases. Spreadsheets have been traditionally constructed on an as needed basis, with little thought behind the correct structuring of fields. It is therefore extremely common to find date fields incorrectly defined as text fields, formatted to only accept two digit years, and a plethora of other Year 2000 related issues. Another problem when addressing millennium compliance in spreadsheets and databases is that of macros and functions. These are where the operator enters a date value that in turn affects an underlying or related field - for example: a column on a spreadsheet lists product delivery dates, then an adjacent column adds thirty days to the delivery date, which then becomes the invoice date. It is very easy to see that a Year 2000 problem in this first ''product delivery'' column can cascade problems down through the entire spreadsheet. Millennium Advisor is a world-class product that addresses the problem in an all-encompassing and efficient manner. Unlike other products on the market, Millennium Advisor does not require other software applications to be present before it can operate successfully. It is completely independant and has the unique ability to scan for problems in spreadsheets and databases that have been embedded in compressed ZIP and Word files. The product is also network ready, enabling system administrators to quickly diagnose remote machines on any network. This new addition to its product range is part of EnRol Corporation's strategy to constantly launch new and exciting software products. Furthermore, it completes the organization's portfolio of the most comprehensive millennium toolkit available. EnRol Corporation is now taking the lead in global compliance. Through its recent acquisition of MST 2000 limited, it has successfully negotiated to support the World Bank as it creates standards for the infoDev Y2K program throughout 120 developing countries that the bank serves. The EnRol portfolio is now the most comprehensive international benchmark available for millennium compliance.
