FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Dr. Ashok Dhar, President, CST/ 412.858.0100

Pittsburgh – August 5, 1998 – Computer Science Technology, Inc. (CST), a Pittsburgh-based software solutions provider, completed the "first ever" comprehensive implementation of an Oracle Applications Suite (v.10.7) on a Windows NT platform for regional client, Pride Health Care. The implementation is being heralded as the first successful Oracle Applications/Windows NT deployment in the world.

The entire Oracle/Windows NT integration was declared a "success" by both companies on June 29, 1998 after twelve months of ongoing business process analysis and assessments.

Pride contracted Oracle partner, CST, in May of 1997 to implement two distinct Oracle Applications suites – Oracle Financials and Oracle Manufacturing – comprising ten modules all together. Up until this point, no one had attempted to integrate such an enormous enterprise quality solution with Windows NT.

Oracle Applications are an integrated set of business applications developed to manage critical business processes, including manufacturing, supply chain, and financial management.

Pride Health Care, a privately held healthcare manufacturer located in Exeter, Pennsylvania, focuses on the design and manufacturing of high-performing, life enhancement healthcare products, such as lift chairs, wheelchairs and scooters.

CST, a Systems Integrator and an Oracle Business Alliance Partner, has been providing software-consulting services since 1993. Headquartered in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, CST has an office in Santa Clara, California, and has performed software-consulting services for major companies nationally, including Intel, Sun, PPG Industries and FORE Systems.
