Component Factory Speeds Time-to-Market and

Increases Reliability of eBusiness Solutions

Princeton Softech today announced Component Factory Release 2.0, a comprehensive platform that dramatically increases the speed and quality of eBusiness application development, while substantially reducing development costs and risks.

Princeton Softech is a subsidiary of Computer Horizons Corp. (NASDAQ: CHRZ) that provides enabling software for developing and deploying high-performance eBusiness solutions.

"One of the most impressive examples of a component management product was introduced two years ago by Select Software," notes Steve Garone, Vice President, IDC, in a recent report on 'Application Design and Construction Tools'. On Princeton Softech's activities since it acquired Select's tools last year, Garone says, "Princeton Softech has had success where Select couldn't - by investing in continued product development efforts geared toward web-based developers, augmenting the capabilities of its toolset by seamlessly integrating the tools with complementary technology, and embracing open standards. The result is an impressive suite of enterprise-class component-based development tools. Coupled with its strong emphasis on customer support, Princeton Softech should indeed be one vendor that will thrive."

"Developing and deploying today's eBusiness applications is becoming increasingly more difficult and expensive," states Hedley Apperly, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Princeton Softech. "This has given rise to an increased demand for Princeton Softech's pragmatic approach, which effectively streamlines application development and deployment. As companies move away from Object-Oriented design, toward Component-Based Development, Component Factory's supply, manage, consume and design by contract capabilities enable companies to deliver world-class solutions that are high performance, flexible, scalable, and reliable, all within the compressed development schedules of today's eWorld."

Since the acquisition of the Select tools in 1999, Princeton Softech, with its award-winning CBD portfolio, has consistently delivered increasing value to IT organizations, particularly as Web developers seek new ways to use Java for the rapid development of eBusiness applications. Release 2.0 of Princeton Softech's Component Factory(tm) supports full bi-directional synchronization for Java and C++ code, which ensures that any source code changes are reflected in the models, and vice versa. This substantially increases productivity, while noticeably improving the quality of resulting applications. Component Factory ships with Java Libraries and Java Components repositories that contain Select Enterprise models for JDK, J2EE and patterns for EJBs. The EJB support also brings previously undocumented components into the CBD lifecycle.

In large scale enterprise IT shops, the powerful combination of Princeton Softech's tools and its practical methodology allows companies to quickly and effectively plan, design and develop mission-critical and eBusiness solutions. Clients such as Blackwells, Bracco Diagnostics, Clarica, Hydro Tasmania, Independence Blue Cross, Mass Mutual, The MONY Group, Next, Payless Cashways, Royal London, Scala International, TNT Post Group and UniChem depend on Princeton Softech's technology to deliver critical eBusiness and mission-critical solutions ahead of deadline and under budget in very short timeframes.

Princeton Softech's Component Factory is comprised of Select Enterprise, a UML-based visual modeling, data modeling, business process modeling and CBD tool; Select Component Manager, a multi-user, repository-based manager of components; and the enterprise language pack of choice: JSync Enterprise Language Pack for Java(tm), VBSync Enterprise Language Pack for Visual Basic(R), CSync Enterprise Language Pack for C++, or FORTESync Enterprise Language Pack for Fort(R). Component Factory is priced at US $55,000 for 10 seats.
