eFORCE FORMS GLOBAL ALLIANCE WITH AGENTIS SOFTWARE

eFORCE Integrates Agentis' AdaptivEnterprise™ Solution Suite into its Fixed Price, Fixed Time-based Global Delivery Model™

HAYWARD, and WALNUT CREEK, CA, January 26, 2004 - eFORCE (www.eforceglobal.com), a leading provider of fixed price, fixed time IT solutions, announced today it has formed a global alliance with Agentis Software (www.agentissoftware.com), a global provider of the only adaptive application development and maintenance platform for the automated creation, deployment and real-time maintenance of applications in a J2EE 
environment.

Under the agreement, eFORCE has integrated Agentis' AdaptivEnterprise™ Solution Suite into its Global Delivery Methodology™, GDM, to strengthen the design, development, deployment and integration of IT solutions in the areas of portals, customer relationship management, enterprise application integration, content management and business intelligence. The solution will be offered through eFORCE's Enterprise Infrastructure Practice, and will leverage a fixed price, fixed time framework guaranteeing on-budget, on-time solution provisioning.  

“Companies are looking for ways to develop and maintain enterprise applications more profitably and efficiently,” said Jean-Yves Dexmier, president and CEO of Agentis Software. “This agreement provides eFORCE clients with a unique and powerful combination of technology and services expertise that will afford them at least 65 percent savings in the time and cost of application delivery and maintenance.” 

Agentis AdaptivEnterprise Solution Suite is built on a unique breakthrough called Goal-Directed™ Agent technology. The suite combined with eFORCE’s consulting expertise in business architecture, technical architecture, design, deployment and maintenance will enable organizations to quickly and cost-effectively build and maintain enterprise solutions. Goal-Directed Agent technology radically simplifies J2EE application development resulting 
in a substantial savings in the time and cost of application delivery and maintenance. 

Goal-Directed Agent technology makes a complex application adaptive and more robust, because the agent has the decision-making capabilities to handle exceptions and unplanned situations. In addition, AdaptivEnterprise uses advanced development techniques – graphical modeling and instant code generation and deployment – to further improve gains in the time and cost of delivering enterprise applications. AdaptivEnterprise enables enterprises to continuously develop, integrate and enrich their mission-critical stand-alone and composite 
applications. 

"Agentis Software and eFORCE can provide Global 1000 clients with a solution that combines software and services to reduce the time and cost to deliver mission-critical enterprise applications," said Nat Natraj, chief executive officer at eFORCE. "Our new Fixed Price, Fixed Time Agentis software-based framework solution will expand eFORCE's IT solution deployment and maintenance service offering to the leading transportation, financial 
services, manufacturing and energy corporations."

The eFORCE GDM is an open, standards-based methodology that utilizes the Rational Unified Process for application development; disciplined project management; development centers in North America, the UK and India; and a fixed price, fixed time model to insure on-budget, on-time and reliable IT solution delivery.

Agentis and eFORCE expect their Fixed Price, Fixed Time Framework solution to be attractive to a number of industry verticals, including financial services, manufacturing, energy and, in particular, transportation/logistics. eFORCE has advised, and collaborated, with leading transportation and logistics corporations in North America, Europe and Asia on J2EE architecture design and deployment supporting complex, collaborative extended supply 
chains; logistics and reverse logistics; dynamic pricing and price optimization; and portal initiatives supporting yield management and customer support.
