NEWS RELEASE SEPTEMBER 22, 1998 Oriole Systems: Y2K Conversion for Ontario Government Ministries TORONTO, ONTARIO--Oriole Systems Inc. (VSE-OOL), announced today that its subsidiary, DYAD Systems Inc. has successfully completed the year 2000 compliance conversion for its PowerTouch Financial Information software being used by the Ontario Ministry of Culture, Citizenship and Recreation. Ontario had given its ministries a mandate to be Y2K compliant by the next fiscal period, beginning March, 1999. Customized code had to be merged and adapted to interface with Treasury Board computers. DYAD's target date to accomplish this conversion was September 14; delivery was within budget and ahead of schedule. According to a Ministry official, "The conversion was successful and is now up and running". DYAD is in the process of facilitating a similar conversion for the Ministry of Environment and Energy and the Ministry of Science and Technology. Dino Dervic, DYAD's Senior Programmer does not anticipate any problems in exceeding Ministry expectations for another on-time, on-budget outcome. James Staring, DYAD's Project Manager stated: "The much talked about Year 2000 problem is one of the most costly and difficult challenges facing governments and industry the world over. Over a year ago, we began informing our clients about tools we had created to make all their products Y2K compliant. We commend the Ministry of Culture, Citizenship and Recreation and Ministries of Environment and Energy and Science and Technology, for their foresight in moving ahead to put this potentially serious problem behind them."
