N E W S R E L E A S E NEXGEN COMPLETES RECORD QUARTER FOR NEXGENCOMMERCE(tm) e-BUSINESS SOLUTION Eight companies choose e-commerce solution to extend their BPCS capabilities to the web NAPERVILLE, IL - July 8, 2002. Nexgen Software Technologies, Inc. announced today that eight companies licensed Nexgen's flagship e-Commerce software package NexgenCommerce(tm) during the second quarter ended June 30, 2002. NexgenCommerce provides complete web portal access to popular iSeries (AS/400) enterprise software packages including BPCS(R), PRMS(tm), MAPICS(tm) and J.D. Edwards WorldSoftware(tm). DESIGNED FOR BPCS, NEXGENCOMMERCE PROMOTES EASE OF IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENANCE Chris Gray is the Financial Services Product Manager for Lindsay Manufacturing Co. headquartered in Omaha, NE, a world leader in technology-driven irrigation systems under the Zimmatic(R), Greenfield(R), and GrowSmart(tm) brand names. "We looked at many products that didn't have this capability," said Gray. "With any other eCommerce approach, we would need to invest several months' worth of IT resources to configure the back-end and connect it to our BPCS system. We can't afford that kind of time and effort. Nexgen's product has done all that work for us." R & B Wagner, Inc., one of The Wagner Companies of Milwaukee, WI, is a manufacturer of pipe and tubular fittings for railings. "The Wagner Companies has been searching for an e-commerce solution for several years," according to Anthony Leto, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "We were most impressed with Nexgen's product because of its ease of use -- permitting us to maintain and update our site in-house -- and its direct compatibility with our existing BPCS software. The level of service we have received from Nexgen in the past gave us the confidence to proceed with them on this new project." TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE YIELDS EXPECTED AND UNEXPECTED BENEFITS Wayne Bruning is Vice President of Information Technology at The Lucks Company of Seattle, WA, a manufacturer of innovative Edible Image(R) edible decorating products as well as high-performance bakery equipment. "We set out to find a way to 'web enable' BPCS and enhance customer service to our dealer/distributor network via the internet," said Bruning. "We limited our search to companies that claimed to provide packaged solutions for BPCS. NexgenCommerce is the only one that truly met our need. NexgenCommerce is an excellent fit since it builds on our existing Lotus Domino infrastructure and provides a fully integrated web portal for BPCS using tools we're already familiar with. "Now, beyond our original objective, we also plan to use NexgenCommerce as our internal interface for BPCS Order Entry. Our customer service reps will simply log on to BPCS using our intranet. We'll be able to replace our current BPCS client-server order entry application while making a tremendous improvement in order entry speed and usability."
