ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 12, 1999-- Harbinger Corporation (NASDAQ:HRBC.O), a worldwide supplier of Electronic Commerce software, services and solutions, announced today that it has been selected by the U.S. Department of Interior (DOI) to outsource a major component of its Mineral Management Service (MMS) Electronic Commerce program. Through a potential five-year contract, worth more than $1.5 million in its first year, Harbinger will implement Electronic Commerce solutions for MMS mineral reporters; companies that report production and royalties associated with federal and Indian mineral leases. Both MMS and its reporters will see immediate efficiencies by moving to Web-based electronic reporting. The system will be built on the harbinger.net(SM) Electronic Commerce portal infrastructure and the Harbinger Express 4.0 Web forms technology. The harbinger.net service supports a variety of tools and applications needed for exchanging business documents, including on-network data translation, Web-based E-forms and application hosting. Beginning this fall, Harbinger will enable participating companies to create reports with an electronic Web form for secure transmission to MMS each month. Harbinger will collect the reports and translate them into a common E-Commerce format before routing them on to MMS for processing. MMS receives information regarding reports and royalties from approximately 3,700 reporters each month. Revenues associated with these reports amount to more than $4 billion each year and are distributed to the U.S. Treasury, recipient states and Indians. "The MMS has determined that the most efficient and convenient way to enable 100 percent of our reporters to submit their monthly reports electronically is to retain an Electronic Commerce service provider," said Lucy Querques Denett, Associate Director for the MMS Royalty Management Program. "We are confident that the solutions provided by Harbinger will result in fewer data errors at both ends of the reporting process. Moreover, the new MMS Electronic Commerce program will offer secure data transmissions, last-minute reporting capabilities, an automated receipt feature and reduced costs for reporters and the MMS," she added. "As more and more government agencies identify the cost savings and benefits to be had from Electronic Commerce, they're investing in Internet-based solutions such as harbinger.net," said Eric Christ, Senior Director of harbinger.net. "Harbinger is committed to providing solutions that help government agencies connect electronically to their trading communities, big and small."
