Business Editors & Technology Writers

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 20, 2002

At Global, Inc. (@Global) a leading provider of client server and Internet claims management software solutions, announced today that Clougherty Packing Company (dba Farmer John) has signed an Agreement to use @Global as its application services provider (ASP).

Farmer John will use webALLEGRO as the backbone for its workers' compensation claims and medical cost management automation strategy.

When Manuel Canton was asked why Farmer John selected @Global, the company's Risk Manager stated: "webALLEGRO is the only complete solution integrating the claims and medical cost management functionality we need via an ASP model. Other factors included system flexibility in terms of workflow management and ad-hoc reporting, feedback from customers that have worked with @Global for several years, and, finally, a very competitive economic model when compared to other RMIS solutions."

According to Steven Duncanson, @Global Sales and Marketing Director: "Self-insured companies are looking for effective ways to reduce claim and administrative costs in a market that is seeing double digit increases by in-sourcing workers' compensation, automobile, property and general liability claims management programs. In the past, costs associated with IT infrastructure and support made it prohibitive to consider self-administration. With today's technology, companies can leverage the Internet to effectively manage their self-insured programs, without the capital investment required to build and support their own IT system. As such, we are seeing tremendous interest and growth in @Global's webALLEGRO RMIS system."
