PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 2002

SRC Software, the leader in providing flexibility and sophistication for enterprise budgeting and financial planning, has announced that Waste Connections, Inc. (Nasdaq:WCNX), Folsom, Calif., has selected SRC's Advisor Series(TM) to streamline its budgeting and financial reporting processes.

Waste Connections provides solid-waste collection, transfer, disposal and recycling services to more than 800,000 commercial, industrial and residential customers primarily in the western United States. The firm processes non-hazardous waste through 75 collection operations, 35 transfer stations and 26 landfills, and operates 18 recycling facilities.

The company will implement the full Advisor Series suite of Budget Advisor(TM), Payroll Planner(TM) and Information Advisor(TM). Plans call for the initial components of the Advisor Series to be operational by the third quarter of 2002 to allow Waste Connections to complete their fourth quarter forecast. The Payroll Planner component is scheduled to be implemented in 2003. The Advisor Series implementation will utilize an SQL Server database with access via Citrix.

"Among the reasons Waste Connections selected the Advisor Series was the system's global assumptions, which make it easy for the company to utilize the many business drivers that exist within their budgeting/forecasting process," said Peri Pierone, vice president of sales, SRC Software. "In addition, the ability of the Advisor Series to automatically distribute reports to multiple people within the organization was a positive feature."

The Advisor Series is an enterprise financial planning and reporting solution that provides extremely robust and flexible capabilities for planning, reporting and budgeting, features an intuitive and powerful Excel-based interface and is quick and efficient to deploy. Waste Connections will use three key modules of the Advisor Series: Budget Advisor, a fully user-definable solution for budget preparation, forecasting and analysis; Payroll Planner, which provides detailed payroll budgeting at the individual employee or job code level; and Information Advisor, a robust tool for consolidations, financial reporting and ad hoc analysis.
