Inovis to Extend Partnership by Awarding Strategic Business to Tourtellotte Consulting

FRAMINGHAM, MA and ATLANTA, GA — February 8, 2005 — Tourtellotte Consulting, a software development consulting company, and Inovis, a leading provider of business-to-business solutions and services, today jointly announced an agreement for Tourtellotte to acquire Inovis' sourcing business. This announcement comes just weeks after Inovis named Tourtellotte an outsourcing and reseller partner for this area of Inovis' business. This full realignment reflects Inovis' commitment to providing a long-term strategy for its sourcing customers and its confidence that Tourtellotte is the best company to deliver on that strategy. Inovis and Tourtellotte have jointly developed a comprehensive transition plan to ensure that client needs are met during the period of changeover.

"By placing a premium value on exceptional technical skills, we have always attracted teams of powerful programmers who, in combination with our business experts, have consistently delivered powerful results for our clients," said Edward Tourtellotte, President of Tourtellotte Consulting. "This level of quality is reflected in our track record of increasing efficiencies in customers' supply chains and providing immediate value to internal stakeholders. With the acquisition of Inovis' sourcing business, we have the opportunity to serve a powerful customer base, and not only protect but significantly enhance customer investment in this business."
