EveryWare Development Corp. ships SQL-based client-server network
scheduler

Leading Macintosh database developer offers an enterprise-level scheduling
solution for organizations who bill for their time, track projects or
utilize activity based costing.

December 14, 1994 -- Mississauga, Ontario, Canada -- EveryWare Development
Corp. today shipped Enterprise Time Capture (ETC), the first in a family
of enterprise solutions based on EveryWare's Butler SQL database engine.
ETC is the first full-featured Macintosh network scheduler to combine the
power of an industry standard SQL server backend with an easy-to-use time
management application.

To date, scheduling software has been aimed solely at making individuals
and small workgroups more productive. ETC extends productivity to the
enterprise level by providing unique features that allow users' calendars
to interact in meaningful ways with the enterprises information
infrastructure.

ETC's enterprise-level functionality is based on its SQL backend. "ETC was
designed from the backend forward," says company president Dan McKenzie.
"Working very closely with our clients, we designed ETC to provide
organizations with the information they need to be competitive in the
90's. By using ETC, organizations can stay on top of the questions: who,
what, when, where, why -- and of course, how much!"

Other workgroup scheduling solutions maintain a server-based data file that
is proprietary in nature. In these systems, only the scheduling software
can access the data. This kind of closed system offers no hooks for
capturing and using the data for analysis and billing. Since ETC stores
its data in the most easily accessible Macintosh database, organizations
can use any number of Butler-compliant applications on the market to
analyze and integrate the data.

Don't just manage time, capture it!

"We are currently deploying ETC to 3500 users across the country," says
Mike Veaudry, Partner for National Systems, Ernst & Young Canada. "In our
organization time is money. ETC saves us a lot of time. The metaphor of
using a diary to automatically capture time and expense information is an
enormous time-saver in our organization."

Key benefits of ETC include:

Personal time management -- With ETC, users can manage their personal
schedules, develop to-do lists, set reminders, track expenses and view
their schedules in daily, weekly or monthly views.

Who, what, when, where, why and how much! -- When you book a meeting with
ETC you can easily capture information that can later be used to generate
a bill or track a project. A lawyer, for example, can use pop-up menus to
indicate who the client is, what they are working on and what they did for
the client. The amount of time involved is captured directly from the
calendar and any expenses that were incurred, such as a taxi ride, can
also be recorded.

"What we are gaining (by using ETC) is a substantial reduction in timesheet
preparation and the flexibility of posting time directly into our
enterprise database from the desktop or on the road," says Martin Fourie,
manager of systems development for the accounting firm, Ernst & Young in
Toronto.

Working together -- ETC lets people propose, coordinate and manage meetings
with other ETC users and resources. ETC's "best time" feature
automatically finds the first available time for all people and resources
involved in the meeting. ETC also lets you look at other users' schedules
to find available meeting times.

I am never in the office -- ETC offers full off-line support for those who
work at home or on the road. Simply use it as you would in the office and
next time you connect to the network your calendar will automatically
synchronize with the ETC server. Using ETC's proxy feature, you can
designate another person to manage your calendar when you're not
available.

From static to live -- As ETC is based on EveryWare's Butler SQL database,
integrating any information entered into ETC is very straightforward. For
example, the ETC server can act as a data warehouse that the existing
accounting system can query for client billing information. A department
manager can get an instant update of a project's status, or a salesperson
could find out how many service calls a client has had in the last three
months.

"We plan to use ETC for project management, as a building block for
tracking cases through the court," says John Clement, senior manager of IS
at the law firm of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt, based in Toronto.

Scalability -- ETC is a true client-server application. Moreover, any
number of servers can be networked together to accommodate even the
largest of organizations. With the flexibility of ETC's SQL, multi-server
deployment architecture, its easily scalable to support 50 to 25,000+
users. Depending on an organizations requirements, ETC can use Butler,
Oracle, SYBASE or Informix as the backend server.

"Our firm spent nearly two years looking for an enterprise-wide network
scheduling solution," says John Clement. "We were looking for a solution
that would meet the needs of our very demanding user community as well as
fit into our long term MIS strategy. ETC is the only product that gives us
everything we need."

Availability and pricing

ETC for Macintosh is available today.
French, German and Spanish versions will be available in 1995.
