REDWOOD SHORES, Calif .--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 7, 2000

STC (Nasdaq:STCS), the leading global provider of eBusiness Integration (eBI(SM)) packaged solutions, and Accenx Technologies, a highly-regarded healthcare integration consulting firm, today announced Accenx Technologies has joined STC's partner program.

As a consulting services partner, Accenx Technologies will provide professional services and remote monitoring capabilities to STC's healthcare clients.

Selected for their unique industry, product, and services expertise, STC's partners provide innovative and complementary solutions to STC's award winning eBusiness platform, e*Gate Integrator. Accenx has been working with STC's suite of products for more than four years, and as a member of the program will continue to contribute valuable industry skills and best practice knowledge to deliver cost-effective, powerful, repeatable solutions built upon STC's revolutionary eBI solutions.

"In the past, many of the healthcare customers who purchased STC software through third party software vendors came to Accenx for services because of our ability and knowledge in working with the various resellers' packaging of STC's products," said David Cheng, president of Accenx Technologies. "This alliance with STC underscores our relationship, and strengthens the ability of both companies to better serve our mutual customers."

As part of today's alliance announcement, Accenx will develop marketing, training and development programs around STC's flagship eBusiness integration platform, e*Gate. In addition, as a part of the partner program, Accenx will assist STC's healthcare clients with specialized application integration and software migration activities.

"Accenx Technologies has significant experience using STC's software to integrate healthcare applications, and complements STC's support offering nicely," said Scott Harper, vice president of North American sales for STC. "Our customers will benefit by having a partner with extensive knowledge in integrating specialized applications -- such as Eclipsys OpenHub and DDS, as well as McKessonHBOC's Pathways and SMS applications -- and will be able to implement fully integrated solutions in a more rapid, cost-effective manner."
