Applied Terravision to Resell CRISP Technologies Tools; ATS Will Market Billing System and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report Generator.

Business Editors

CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 21, 2000

Applied Terravision Systems (ATS) (CDNX:TER.) has signed an agreement with Calgary-based CRISP Technologies Inc. to integrate and resell as part of ATS' e-business offering in Canada two software modules related to billing and environmental reporting.

To help clients manage billing costs, ATS will market the CRISP Universal Billing System, or CUBS, which has revolutionized the accounts payable process for high-volume, repetitious invoicing. The software eliminates the manual effort of repetitively verifying, approving and coding vendor invoices.

"Many companies spend vast amounts of time and human resources to code, approve and process invoices from utilities, fuel, communications, transportation, leasing and other vendors," said Fadi J. Nasr, president and CEO of CRISP Technologies. "CUBS allows companies to automate the process of input, verification and payment of these bills and reduce the costs of handling them by up to 80 percent."

To generate reports on greenhouse gas emissions ATS will resell the TEEM Integrated Reporting Module, or TIRM, which is a client-server-based application that automates a comprehensive TEEM (Total Energy and Emissions Management) program.

"TIRM is capable of importing data from a variety of sources, databases and file types. It integrates this data into meaningful information, which can be used for tracking and reporting emissions and energy costs in any organization," Nasr said.

The greenhouse gas reporting system measures carbon dioxide levels from oil and gas volumes, and is in response to Voluntary Challenge and Registry -- VCR -- program created by the Canadian government to report emission levels and provide action plans to reduce future emissions.

"CRISP's billing and environmental reporting systems provide value-added features to Applied Terravision's e-business solutions suite," said Bob Tretiak, ATS' president and CEO. "The CUBS and TIRM products enhance our software as ATS develops better ways for our customers to use e-business to solve problems."
