Marcam Solutions Provides Unique Year 2000 Solution to World's Largest Manufacturing Companies Business Wire - April 22, 1998 11:28 NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 22, 1998 Marcam's Process Manufacturing Customers Become Year 2000-Enabled Without Any Migration, Re-implementation, or Re-training Requirements Over 75 percent of its current customers in the process manufacturing industry have successfully implemented its Year 2000-compliant solution, Marcam Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRCM)announced today. Unlike other software providers that have tried to force customers to overhaul their existing IT infrastructure, Marcam Solutions, a leading provider of business solutions for process manufacturing companies, offers customers a cost-effective and comprehensive software, consulting and upgrade services package that leverages their existing investment. Rohm & Haas and Wright Brand Foods are among Marcam's customers that are successfully implementing its Year 2000-compliant solution without any migration, re-implementation, or re-training requirements. "We really jumped on the issue when we realized we had to upgrade our systems to be Year 2000 compliant," explained Alan Kober, Manager of Inventory Systems at Rohm and Haas, an international chemical manufacturer. "We knew this had to happen quickly because our business depends on entering customer information months ahead of time. We've still got a lot of 'homegrown' software that needs to be upgraded. But it's a real relief to know that we've got a system like PRISM working for us. I have to say, the Year 2000 PRISM 4.3 upgrade was the easiest upgrade we've ever had." One unique feature of Marcam's Year 2000 solution is its upgrade services package. In addition to consulting services, the package contains tools which allow customers to skip to the most current release and avoid the time-consuming process of moving from one release to another. Marcam makes it effortless to move to its most recent releases of its PRISM and Avantis.XA product lines. Another distinction of Marcam's Year 2000 solutions is that the Company built Year 2000 compliancy directly into the original design of its Protean and Avantis.Pro products. Customers who currently have the object-oriented technology of Protean or the adaptable, asset management solution in Avantis.Pro already have their Year 2000 problem solved without the need to migrate to a newer release. Recognized for its expertise in process manufacturing, Marcam understands well the urgency in providing a system that will compute dates beyond December 31, 1999. Especially crucial in process manufacturing, the transition to the year 2000 will affect every computer file and field with a date and every part of a business that is time-sensitive. For process manufacturers, this includes order releases, shelf life, production planning, and financial budgeting. About Marcam Solutions Inc. *******Marcam Solutions, Inc.
