Fairfax, VA, November 20, 2000 - D. Appleton Company (DACOM) and Computer Associates (CA), both leading e-Business solution providers, today announced an agreement to deliver innovative e-solutions with CA tools. The companies will work together to develop and market reliable, scalable and flexible e-business applications called WorkNets™. WorkNets, powered by CA tools, are e-applications designed to engineer the full power of web technology into e-processes that optimize information assets and support collaboration among users.

"CA has the most robust and proven e-business tools in the industry - combine that with our 20 years of experience in business transformation and you've got an unbeatable partnership for bringing organizations swiftly into the e-economy," said Dan Appleton, President, DACOM.

Under the agreement, DACOM and CA developed e-Express™, a short client engagement that demonstrates both the technologies and methodologies required to transform an organization from a traditional business to an e-business. e-Express delivers a custom Roadmap that outlines the transformation steps, a business case, and a proof-of-concept for a customer selected business area. "Being able to deliver a proof-of-concept in such a short period of time is critical to the success of this program," said Tony Hartman, Sr. VP of Business Innovations, DACOM. "Customers are tired of all the talk and promises, they want to see it work and in their environment - e-Express delivers."
