Relativity Technologies Signs Memorandum of Understanding with Keane, Inc. For Keane to Build Legacy Transformation Service

SAN DIEGO, CAL., Jan. 28, 1998 - Relativity Technologies, Inc. today announced a memorandum of understanding with Keane, Inc., a leading worldwide systems integrator, for Keane to build a legacy application transformation service based on Relativity Technologies' RescueWare® software. RescueWare is the industry's first software solution to fully integrate the process for transforming legacy systems to modern Internet/intranet and client/server platforms - such as Java, C++ and Visual Basic.

"Keane seeks to identify and deploy emerging technologies that can generate business value for our clients when combined with world-class processes and project management disciplines," said Brian Keane, office of the president for Keane. "By combining Relativity's technology with Keane's expertise in legacy systems analysis and application delivery on Internet and client/server platforms, Keane can play a leadership role in assisting clients to transform their legacy assets to modern platforms."

"Working with Keane will help Relativity broaden the reach of the RescueWare technology," said Vivek Wadhwa, chief executive officer, Relativity Technologies, Inc. "We anticipate that RescueWare's advanced automated transformation capabilities will help Keane to simplify the modernization of their customers' applications. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with Keane."

Prior to the introduction of RescueWare, the current programming challenges highlighted by Year 2000 and European Monetary Unit (EMU) remediation were typically addressed through one of three approaches: manually remediating portions of existing systems (e.g., date fields), completely rewriting these systems, or replacing them with packaged solutions.

Relativity Technologies is the first company to deliver a comprehensive, automated solution that can effectively reduce the time and cost of both preserving these legacy applications and making them reusable to address the changing needs of organizations today and in the future. As a graphical, repository-based, Windows application, RescueWare offers an intuitive and fully integrated workflow to inventory, analyze and transform legacy applications by using revolutionary forward generation technology to convert COBOL into modern languages, such as Java, C++, and Visual Basic.
