expand its presence in the enterprise integration and e-business integration
markets."
Mr. Williams, who will report directly to Mr. Gillis, said, "SAGA is
an exciting company and is becoming a leader in the exploding e-business
integration space. I'm delighted to be part of a team that has a track record of
profitability and providing first-rate customer solutions."

for the past decade. SAGA has a tremendous future and professionals like Dale
Williams will contribute to assuring that the Company continues to be a leader
in its markets."
