Computron Software signs deal with Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated; Enterprise License Agreement Value More Than $900,000

Business Wire, Sept 19, 1996

RUTHERFORD, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 19, 1996--Computron Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTRN), a leading developer of client/server financial, workflow, and COLD software systems, announced today that it has signed an Enterprise License Agreement with the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (CCBCC) headquartered in Charlotte, NC. The agreement, which calls for the implementation of the full suite of Computron Financial(TM) Software integrated with Computron Workflow(TM) and Computron COOL(TM) (Computer Output On-Line) technologies, is valued at $924,000 in software and services.

CCBCC produces, markets and distributes carbonated soft drinks in a 12-state area encompassing nearly 16 million people primarily in the Southeast U.S. It is the second largest Coca-Cola bottler in the U.S.

"This Enterprise agreement with the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated reinforces Computron's position in the marketplace as a leading provider of financial software products and is an acknowledgment of the benefits of our technology," stated Andy Typaldos, Chairman of Computron.

Typaldos added, "Having our software evaluated against many formidable competitors and winning this contract is representative of the shift to best-of-breed financial software in the client/server industry. Large companies such as Coca-Cola Consolidated are partnering with dynamic and agile companies such as Computron, who can provide them with the products, service, and personal attention that best fulfills the needs of their enterprise."

The implementation of Computron's applications will be an important part of CCBCC's initial migration from its existing mainframe to a client/server environment, allowing both PC and terminal users access to the Computron software, which will be running under Microsoft NT on an Intel PC server. Computron's Financials are targeted to be deployed at CCBCC by the end of 1996 and fully operational in late 1997.

"After reviewing the top client/server providers in the industry, we opted for the overwhelming benefits of a partnership with Computron, which included a fully integrated suite of financial applications supported by industry best practices that will help us migrate to client/server while leveraging our existing hardware environment," said Lauren Steele, Coca-Cola spokesman.

CCBCC will implement the process-oriented software including Computron Financials and Computron Workflow via Computron's Best Practice Object(TM) (BPO) Library. This will enable CCBCC to take advantage of Computron's best practice- enabled business processes for handling both the expense and procurement cycles within the Company. Computron will also install its COOL software, a high-speed, cost- efficient technology for enterprise-wide, client/server data storage and retrieval.
