ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 8, 2001

Jacada Ltd. (NASDAQ:JCDA), a leading provider of e-business infrastructure software, has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of the Chief Financial Officer, Office of Financial Systems to Web-enable DOLAR$, the Department's core accounting system application.

The Office of Financial Systems will use Jacada(R) for Java to extend DOLAR$, originally written as an IDMS/COBOL application, to the Internet via a browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI). Jacada for Java is a thin-client solution that Web-enables labor-intensive green-screens without disturbing the existing legacy code. This solution will increase the system's overall ease-of-use without jeopardizing its customized functionality. Jacada for Java will re-engineer the application at the interface level to improve screen navigation for end-users, yet maintain the mainframe system's operational reliability.

"The Office of Financial Systems will realize immediate benefits from this user-friendly, re-engineered GUI solution," said David Holmes, Jacada's senior vice president of marketing. "Web-enabled DOLAR$ will increase user productivity and decrease new-hire training costs. These advantages will facilitate a more efficient and cost-effective workplace without disturbing the mainframe operability."
