ComMIT Systems Inc. Announces

Java™ Enterprise Object Modeling to Extend

ComMIT-IRP Industry-Leading Capabilities

Toronto, Ontario, January 15, 1999 – ComMIT Systems Inc., provider of

ComMIT-IRP (Intelligent Resource Planning) - a suite of customized, distributed, component-based, Java products for Advanced Planning and Scheduling and Supply Chain Management, today announced its Java Enterprise Object Modeling, ComMIT’s new feature used to "Objectize" an organization using existing data with no need to change data structure.

"Objectize" is a word coined by ComMIT Systems Inc. for its ComMIT-IRP product feature, which enables organizations to create object models of their entire operations from their existing data. These models are easy to understand, navigate through and relate to and give users a third dimension of their data and, as a result, a much better insight into the data and the internal relationships among the data elements. As a result, ComMIT-IRP users can make better, more optimized business and operational decisions on an on-going basis.

The kernel of ComMIT-IRP is an advanced planning and scheduling engine (APS) that acts like a brain, it receives data from all sources, and has the responsibility of processing this data and sending action commands to all other parts of the body to synchronize and optimize its activities and motions.

ComMIT-IRP is a 100% pure Java product and not without a reason;

ComMIT combines its new approach of intelligent manufacturing with the newest evolution in computer languages, Java™. Java™ allows ComMIT-IRP to be seamlessly integrated with new enterprise systems and older legacy systems alike, making ComMIT-IRP the right solution for today and tomorrow

"To supply chain, Java is more than a language, it’s a new way of thinking. Java is changing the supply chain paradigm. For the first time a software technology so closely matches a business management concept. Java, with its distributed object and component model, web-connectivity and platform independence is the perfect deployment tool and computing environment for linking manufacturers, suppliers and customers and creating a value-net where everyone is a winner. The AS/400e with its reliability, security and scalability complements this paradigm perfectly." said Ed Cohen president of ComMIT Systems Inc.

"Manufacturing companies can drastically improve manufacturing efficiencies and customer service and reduce operating costs and inventory levels by implementing ComMIT-IRP with its Java object technology for planning, scheduling, synchronization and optimization of their complete operations."

ComMIT-IRP’s objective is to synchronize and optimize the overall process of making and delivering a product, so ultimately the entire process is done at the lowest possible cost and the highest possible customer service level. ComMIT objective is to create a win-win situation where manufacturers, suppliers, distributors and customers benefit from the overall improvement.

ComMIT-IRP brings manufacturers, customers and suppliers under one computing umbrella to optimize the complete chain of operations. This significantly elevates current enterprise system’s capability to address modern business needs and leverage the enterprise resources to significantly improve performance, profitability and response time.

ComMIT- IRP provides intelligent solutions for integrated demand management, manufacturing planning and scheduling, supply chain management and decision support. ComMIT-IRP represents the next generation in manufacturing software, a solution that synchronizes operations with customer demand and supply chain logistics and optimize decisions in accordance with business objectives and constraints.

ComMIT –IRP has the intelligence to:

ComMIT transforms planning and scheduling into a powerful strategic weapon by enabling manufacturers to be pro-active, anticipating future developments and acting in advance to manage the outcome rather than reacting to events as they occur.
