Good morning:

I'm communicating with you today because I wanted to make sure you have heard the news that SSA GT has acquired the interBiz division of Computer Associates. Nexgen is excited about the opportunities this will bring to users of both BPCS® from SSA GT and PRMS™ from interBiz.

Nexgen is uniquely positioned to serve companies with either of these iSeries systems, since our people have been working with both packages since their inception. Our consulting services and software products are focused on helping our clients maximize their return on investment in these systems.

I invite you to call us and talk with your Nexgen Account Executive to get some additional insight on this consolidation. No doubt there will be a period of uncertainty as SSA GT digests this acquisition, and we would like to do anything we can to help make sure that your business operations are not disrupted during the transition and beyond.

Sincerely
Rick Halsten
President
Nexgen Software Technologies, Inc.
