eBreviate To Strengthen eSourcing with eSupply Chain and Energy Industry Expertise of Denali

WALNUT CREEK, California, and LOS GATOS, California (June 28, 2000) eBreviate, an EDS company offering market leading eSourcing tools and technologies, today announced its intent to
enter a strategic marketing and consulting alliance with Denali Consulting, a leading eSupply Chain and eSourcing consultancy focused on the energy industry.

The purpose of the alliance would be to provide eBreviate with access to Denali's comprehensive customer base of electric utilities companies, with Denali gaining the ability to offer clients additional expertise on web-enabled eSourcing tools. In addition, Denali consultants will be trained to handle eBreviate auctions for joint customers.

"We are seeing more and more today an extreme shortage of supply chain process expertise and consultants to help technology firms successfully implement their products," said Emiko Banfield, Vice President of Shared Services at Southern California Edison. "The eBreviate/Denali alliance should help to alleviate that shortage by bringing Denali consultants and eBreviate technology to a larger set of companies in need of their specific solutions."

The opportunity to reach more customers through strategic alliances is key to eBreviate's growth plans. "eBreviate is continually developing new technologies, content and delivery expertise that take sourcing to the Internet," said Niul Burton, president of eBreviate. "Through an alliance with Denali, many more customers will have access to eSourcing capabilities." eBreviate is an industry leader in web-based solutions that enable corporations to take the time, cost and inefficiencies out of buying. eBreviate combines over 20 years of experience from EDS' global management consultancy, A.T. Kearney, the world's leading strategic sourcing consultant, with Internet negotiation technologies to create reliable and comprehensive tools to improve the corporate purchasing process.

"We work with the U.S.'s largest electric utility companies, and are constantly searching for innovative tools to improve their sourcing processes," said John Evans, President and CEO of Denali Consulting. "The synergies of eBreviate's eSourcing tools and Denali's eSupply Chain, Strategic Sourcing and utility expertise will help both companies add more value to their clients."
