BT Squared Selected by Gulfstream Aerospace.

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 25, 1999--BT Squared Technologies, Inc. today announced that Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation (NYSE: GAC), the leading manufacturer of intercontinental business jet aircraft, has selected the 2order interactive selling system to streamline configurations and quotations, and improve overall customer responsiveness in their Completion and Aircraft Services businesses.

The 2order interactive selling system from BT Squared is enterprise software that automates sales, quotation and order management for inside sales, outside sales and distribution channels on a LAN, laptop or via the internet. With 2order, companies with complex products, services and pricing can streamline sales activities by enabling sales professionals to accurately analyze customer requirements and configure, price and quote their products and services.

2order's unique ability to address both back-office configuration and front-office quotation requirements will allow Gulfstream to implement and maintain a single system that supports their customer-facing activities as well as their post-sale operational requirements. For example, Gulfstream's Completion Centers receive new aircraft from manufacturing and then work directly with customers to define interior options. "Our goal is to improve the customer's selection and configuration experience to a level that is consistent with the superior quality of our finished products," said Tim Crossno, manager, Completion Center Quoting at Gulfstream. "We expect to significantly reduce configuration process times in all of our completion centers."

The 2order interactive selling system was selected by Gulfstream at the culmination of a highly competitive evaluation that started with more than 10 vendors.

"We've packaged our extensive experience with complex products and services into 2order so that our customers can quickly and cost-effectively reap the rewards of a world-class configuration and quotation system," said Scott Geller, president and CEO of BT Squared Technologies. "We welcome the opportunity to help Gulfstream, the world's leading manufacturer of business jet aircraft, serve their customers better."
