ENCINITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 2, 2000

The Breeze Factor LLC and Buzzeo Inc. of Scottsdale, Ariz. Friday announced an alliance whereby Buzzeo will utilize Breeze's XML-to-Java data binding capabilities within the ZeoLogix collaborative server technology platform and will utilize Breeze technology in their HRSLogix, FINLogix and SISLogix applications.

"Breeze XML Studio gives us a significant boost for building in advanced XML functionality in our products. The ability to deal with XML though JavaBeans lets us deploy features more quickly and with more consistency than if we had to work with XML at lower API levels", said Bob DeAnna, vice president of engineering at Buzzeo Inc. "We believe Breeze gives our products a strategic advantage when it comes to interacting with XML."

ZeoLogix provides rules-driven, distributed enterprise computing over Web-based networks like the Internet, Intranets, and Extranets. The product helps customers create and deploy sophisticated Web-based applications.

"With Breeze, we can give our customers access to legacy and emerging data sources both through XML and through CORBA-based, Enterprise Java Beans. We are excited about working with The Breeze Factor to ease component development using Java and SOAP. This is a natural extension of what Component Builder does for Java, CORBA, and EJB," said DeAnna.

"We are delighted that Buzzeo Inc. has selected Breeze XML Studio to facilitate easier use of XML," said David Droman, partner and business development manager of The Breeze Factor. "We believe the result will be tighter and faster integrations and deployment for their Web-centric applications and we gain a quality technology innovator as a lead customer of Breeze."
