DevonWay Discusses Its Nuclear Option; New Web-Service Offerings Supply an Affordable New Alternative of On-Demand Business Solutions and Web Transformation Services for Aging Legacy Systems at U.S. Nuclear Generating Facilities

CLEVELAND --(Business Wire)-- June 21, 2005 -- The Devon Way LLC, today addressed the Nuclear Information Technology Strategic Leadership (NITSL) council presenting DevonWay(TM) on-demand service offerings which represent a new generation of solutions designed to improve nuclear work processes while supplying budget relief across the Utility. The web-based application services are architected to begin deployment as next generation solutions from any starting point where improved work process and budget relief is a priority.

Addressing the new web service offering, DevonWay Chairman and CEO, Robert W. Felton said, "Individually our service offerings are additive to client/server systems of record commonly in use. These offer incremental change to key departmental solutions improving the end-user experience and work performance of engineering, operations and maintenance disciplines. When fully deployed, however, they represent a new generation of browser class computing that can indeed replace existing client/sever software products in use. The result is exponential improvements in time, quality and of course cost, since 'on-demand' means ordering just service functions needed... by-the-seat... paying just for what you need... no additional maintenance or support fees required. Ever. The annual budget savings is huge," Mr. Felton said.

In addition to web services, a legacy transformation consulting group has been established by the firm to help prepare organizations for browser class computing while maintaining their investment in corporate legacy data. DevonWay consultants and partners have assembled an internet architecture with popular web tools called SpeedWay(SM) which uses the M5 methodology to rapidly transform targeted legacy system's data & rules in weeks... not months (or years).

Mr. Felton added, "SpeedWay and M5 are the same approaches to rapid development that DevonWay uses to build our own service offerings. Customers are therefore assured the same level of high quality and compatibility between services from user interface - to - scalability issues and security standards."

Mr. Felton continued, "Our approach to offer web transformation as a service is another significant differentiator for our customers since our commitment as a partner is to move customer legacy data and business rules into 21st century browser-class solutions, or help them build new enterprise applications rapidly. We transform them... we host them and deliver data and information to them... by-the-seat... on-demand. And because Speedway allows us to easily innovate processes along the way, we are able to record and include such current-state requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and reporting as part of the mechanism for recording, testing and auditing controls -- all built in... not bolted on!" Mr. Felton said.
