Leading Houston Entrepreneur Builds Team of Enterprise Content

Management Experts, Expands to Larger, State-of-the-Art Facility

Gimmal Group, a leading provider of enterprise content management and systems integration services, announced continued growth for its first 12 months of operation amid challenging times in today's economic environment. The company also has relocated its operations to 24 Greenway Plaza, taking over most of the former offices of Sapient's Houston operations. The facility features excellent conference facilities and a state-of-the-art data center.

Headquartered in Houston, Gimmal Group is a team of experienced professionals with deep expertise in technologies that support the creation and management of digital information.

Privately held, Gimmal disclosed that its average monthly revenue from June 2002 through May 2003 has increased by 50%, while servicing 20 clients and adding more than 15 employees during this time period. The company anticipates adding 15 employees during its second year of operation.

"The key to our success is that we set out from the beginning to build teams with our clients, staff, and partners to deliver technology-based solutions for the challenges of today's dynamic business environment. Gimmal Group is a time-tested team of professionals, adept at crafting business solutions that promote efficiency, lower costs and align operations for increased productivity," said Mike Alsup, President and CEO of Gimmal Group.

Gimmal's solutions in Enterprise Content Management (ECM) technologies include:

-- Document management

-- Web content management

-- Imaging

-- Workflow

-- Enterprise portals

-- Knowledge management

-- Records management

-- Web application integration

"Most companies realize that there is value in its online content, but few know how to manage it.

"Our solutions create, deliver and manage the streams of data that come together on a web site, Intranet, Extranet or other use of digital technology. It's a new twist on an old puzzle -- how to create the most useful presentation of information from a wide variety of data, ranging from product information and news articles, to video and audio clips. Eighty percent of a company's information is in unstructured formats with no process control or management, but Gimmal Group technology partners and integration services provide that needed control," Alsup added.

Within its first year of operation, Gimmal Group has accumulated a world-class customer base from the Fortune 1000 and currently provides service in various markets to clients such as:

-- Anadarko

-- Baker-Hughes

-- ChevronTexaco

-- Halliburton

-- Aker Kvaerner

-- Noble Drilling

-- Petrolera Ameriven

-- University of Texas Health Sciences Center

The company was founded by Alsup, a pioneer who brings more than 25 years' experience in management consulting and systems integration. Alsup has served in senior management positions with Andersen Consulting and Booz, Allen & Hamilton, and was a co-founder of several successful enterprises, including BSG Consulting and Align Solutions. Alsup was also an early investor in NetworkOil (now Network International) and US Farm Ranch (now USFR Media Group).

Alsup strategically assembled the Gimmal Group team to include experts within the areas of Document Management, Imaging, Work Flow and Web Content Management.
