ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE SIGNS DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE REVIVE
TECHNOLOGIES
Software Conversion Company First Step in Expansion Plans
DETROIT - August 4, 1998 - Enterprise Software, Inc. (Nasdaq/NMS:ENSW)
announced today that following its previously stated goal of expanding its
business to business services, it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire
REVIVE Technologies Incorporated. REVIVE is a privately held company based in
Carnegie, PA.
REVIVE is a leader in automated software conversion from legacy systems to
newer technologies. REVIVE's client list includes global 1000 companies such
as Citibank, British Steel and Prudential Securities, as well as leading
institutions including Johns Hopkins University. REVIVE is a channel partner
with IBM, Oracle and Perot Systems.
Andre Blay, Chairman and CEO of Enterprise stated, "This is a major leap
forward for Enterprise in our plan to be a leading provider of enterprise
management software. REVIVE provides a key service to companies by allowing
them to move mission critical applications and information from old legacy
systems. We are very impressed with REVIVE's management and the proprietary
tools they have developed to become a leading conversion company."
Joseph J. Porfeli, CEO of REVIVE said, "We at REVIVE are excited to join the
team at Enterprise and be part of the growth strategy, and to be a leading
provider of enterprise software. Strategically, Enterprise's worldwide
presence will help us accelerate our international marketing efforts and the
long-standing relationships that they have will open the door to new
prospective clients domestically."
REVIVE is an automated conversion company whose proprietary tool set allows for
fast, efficient and accurate conversions from more source applications,
including ADABAS/Natural/COBOL and IDMS/ADSO/COBOL, to more target applications
than any other conversion company. In addition, REVIVE is able to concurrently
address year 2000 (Y2K) and European Monetary Unit (EMU) compliance issues
during conversion, resulting in time and money savings.
Enterprise Software, Inc., a developer of mission critical software for
enterprise management, is the parent company of Enterprise Systems Group, Inc.
and CCMS, recognized leaders in innovative broadcast management software
systems and integrated media support services for television stations, radio
stations, cable networks, cable systems and other television distributors.
Included in this release are "forward-looking" statements based upon the
company's good faith expectations and beliefs which the company believes are
reasonable but which may differ materially from actual results, depending upon
the circumstances, and there can be no assurance that the statements of
expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. Taking into
account the foregoing, the actual results could differ materially from those
expressed in such forward-looking statements as a result of such important
factors as the company's ability to compete with high-technology competitors
which may be larger, offer more services, possess greater resources and other
factors described in the company's reports on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
