Computer Associates and IntelliWare Announce Partnership to Provide Year 2000 Solutions to VSE Users.

ARLINGTON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 1998--

IntelliWare To Use CA-Fix/2000 For Remediation of VSE Code;

Adds Y2K Factory to Its Numerous Services

Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) (NYSE:CA) and IntelliWare Systems, Inc. (ISI) today announced a strategic partnership to provide complete Year 2000 (Y2K) solutions for IBM VSE customers.

IntelliWare, a major VSE service provider, will use the award-winning CA-Fix/2000 to analyze and remediate VSE applications for Year 2000 compliance.

In addition to using CA-Fix/2000 for the remediation of VSE customers' code, IntelliWare will act as a "factory" at its Year 2000 Technology Center. IntelliWare will offer services for the entire Y2K cycle, from impact analysis through independent verification and validation. By acting as a factory, ISI allows customers to offload their Y2K work, reducing the performance impact on their business while this critical work is performed. A customer simply sends some or all of its code to the IntelliWare factory for remediation and testing.

"This partnership fills a void and brings a critical service to VSE users. We are leveraging our extensive VSE knowledge with the state-of-the-art CA Year 2000 tools to offer our clients the services they need at a price they can afford," said Eric L. Vaughan, chairman and CEO of IntelliWare.

"We are delighted that IntelliWare has chosen CA-Fix/2000 to remediate COBOL-based applications in the VSE environment," said Mark Stabler, senior vice president of Computer Associates. "Combining IntelliWare's outstanding and recognized VSE expertise with our best-of-breed technology provides a unified solution for the many VSE sites that are still grappling with the Year 2000 problem. For complete Y2K services for VSE users, we are working very closely with IntelliWare to ensure we meet clients' needs, " he said.

CA-Fix/2000 has a proven track record in remediating millions of lines of COBOL code throughout the world, with clients praising its speed, accuracy and consistency of code correction. CA-Fix/2000 can also be utilized for independent verification and validation of code that has already been remediated by less accurate tools or manual processes.

CA-Fix/2000 is a strategic component of Computer Associates' Discovery 2000, which incorporates automated solutions for every phase of a Year 2000 effort --from initial portfolio assessment through automated code conversion, independent verification and validation, and testing to final production turnover.

Today's announcement was made at the annual World Alliance of VSE and VM conference (WAVV) in Albany, N.Y., Sept. 25-29, 1998. WAVV is a non-profit trade organization whose purpose is to promote the interests of the more than 25,000 VSE and VM users worldwide.
