October 5, 1998 — Nexgen Software Technologies, Inc., the premier provider of automated millennium solutions for the BPCS® and PRMS marketplaces, today announced a rebate program for users of the century-enabled BPCS® Version 4.05CD for the IBM AS/400.

"We are offering BPCS® 4.05CD users a rebate amounting to half (up to $25,000) of what they paid for SSA's century-enabled version, when they purchase our Focus/2000^TM automated conversion tool to complete their Y2K efforts," said Gerard Wolf, Nexgen Vice President of Sales. "By completing the conversion of their existing systems with Focus/2000, organizations can continue to use their current applications without any user retraining or business disruptions — a major benefit in today's competitive environment."

This rebate program targets organizations who are finding that they are running out of time in implementing 4.05CD, or that too much code remains to be converted manually, since 4.05CD does not address user modifications or custom programs. It will also interest those who use BPCS® Versions 2.0, 2.1, 3.0 or 3.1 because they face a double task: first upgrading to 4.05 and then to 4.05CD. Focus/2000 offers a quick, permanent and clean solution not only for BPCS® files and programs, but also for modifications and custom programs.

The 4.05CD rebate program follows in Nexgen's long tradition of providing solutions for BPCS® users. Currently, Nexgen's millennium solution, Focus/2000, is in use worldwide at hundreds of sites, and dozens of companies have already completed their millennium conversions due to the speed, precision, and reliability of the software.
