WidePoint's most recent eSolutions clients include: The Chicago Board of Trade, for whom the WidePoint team has initially developed an entire set of Web site designs. Hewitt and Associates, a nationally known human resources consulting firm, whom WidePoint is helping build Java-based applications that deliver services to Hewitt's clients. Several other companies, including: a leading multinational pharmaceutical company; a Big 4 international consulting firm; a B2B exchange for industrial and commercial products; an international direct sales distributor of kitchen products; a leading men's custom suit manufacturer; a national direct sales distributor of home decorative products; and a leading manufacturer of airport carts, strollers and lockers. Ron Hilicki, WidePoint's Vice President - eSolutions Practice, remarked, "We are extremely pleased with the response from the marketplace for our eSolutions services. By integrating our creative and technical Web-based disciplines into WidePoint's eSolutions practice, we have built a united team that provides innovative solutions for our clients. Our foresight in hiring and training experienced and knowledgeable consultants has enabled WidePoint to strategically and successfully develop teams and methodologies that have been, and continue to be, a major determining factor in our recent successes. Our multi-million dollar backlog and ever-increasing pipeline are proof that WidePoint's approach to eSolutions is in high demand in this multi-billion dollar marketplace." "Further," Hilicki added, "Some of our recent successes have also come through our partnerships with leaders such as BEA Systems (NASDAQ: BEAS - news). We have successfully offered solutions to our clients based on the Java technology platform since its introduction. We consider our partnership with BEA, and tools and technologies like BEA's WebLogic Server and Enterprise Java Beans, along with products from leaders such as Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT - news) and IBM/Lotus (NYSE:IBM - news), to be key components of our technical delivery strategy." Hilicki concluded, "We have observed that successful and competitive companies cannot rely solely on packaged software solutions to run their businesses. Often, what makes a company successful are their unique processes that are increasingly supported by Internet technologies. WidePoint's eSolutions practice helps our clients make the best use of the Internet to extend, integrate and transform their business practices. Our approach to the eSolutions marketplace has brought us many well-known clients, and has enabled us to build a pipeline that should grow and carry us into the foreseeable future as we build a premier technology consulting company." WidePoint Corporation focuses on providing e-value chain total solutions, with an emphasis on eSolutions, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI).
