UDICo Selected By e-Acumen for Data Integration Solutions in Energy Industry

TierBroker to build data integration platform with web services capability for AcuRisk, e-Acumen's market-leading energy risk modeling and portfolio optimization tool

New York - March 17, 2002 - UDICo, an emerging leader in the development of middleware and web services technology, today announced that it has been chosen by e-Acumen to create integration and data interface mapping solutions for its e-Acumen's AcuRisk product. e-Acumen is using TierBroker, UDICo's middleware product to interface with the existing trading and accounting systems at the headquarters of a global energy institution in Dallas, TX.

"TierBroker allows us to bring an entirely new level of services to our enterprise clients," said Andy Dunn, vice president of risk management for e-Acumen. "At a corporate level, this new service will facilitate straight-through processing, reduce costs and operational risks. We are confident that TierBroker will provide us with the flexibility and efficiency to focus on the massive data integration needs within the energy industry and to improve our energy risk management capabilities."

TierBroker is a middleware-driven, web services toolkit that allows business to easily develop data mapping capabilities on both the server and the client sides. Providing cross-platform, multiple-OS support, TierBroker is able to push relevant information onto the web, and pull desired information from the web. Its predecessor, the Universal Data Interface, is currently in use in over 50 of the top global financial institutions.

"e-Acumen is at the forefront of creating products that can connect data and complex financial calculators to disparate applications across the enterprise," said Adam Greissman, CEO of UDICo. "A data integration platform that also supports web services will give the energy industry the most up-to-date analytic information available to evaluate business risk. By providing their data integration solution with a web services component, e-Acumen is taking a technology leadership position in the industry and setting the stage for future services to enhance operational and business efficiencies."
