Ottawa and Chesterville, Canada, June 8, 2004 - MB Foster, a provider of Migration Tools and Services to HP e3000 sites, and CORE Migration, a provider of tools and services for migrating applications from Cognos PowerHouse® to modern computing platforms, are pleased to announce a business and technology partnership. By leveraging their unique experience and expertise, the companies will provide migration services to a growing number of organizations moving their legacy PowerHouse applications, running on the HP e3000, to modern computing platforms.
"This partnership allows MB Foster to provide migration services to those PowerHouse sites whose target environment is Java or .NET. CORE Migration's tools and expertise in this area complement our own PowerHouse expertise, specifically in the area of data migration. This partnership allows us to expand our offering to our customers, providing complete and superior migration solutions that directly meet their needs," said Birket Foster, Chairman and CEO of MB Foster. "We fully expect this alliance to be an important offering of our Migration Practice." Migrations to modern computing platforms are multifaceted projects which encompass the migration of databases, hardware, interfaces to other applications, file structures, other languages (i.e., COBOL), etc. The partnership between CORE Migration and MB Foster will enable the organizations to deliver enhanced migration services to customers in a unified manner. CORE Migration will provide the PowerHouse migration component and MB Foster will serve customers needs in the other migration areas. Customers will benefit from this all encompassing, full service approach to migration by having access to a single point of contact and through lower costs and shortened migration process times.

MB Foster is very well respected in the marketplace as an HP Platinum Partner and we are excited to add CORE's automated PowerHouse migration capabilities and methodology to their offering," said Rolf Christensen, President and CEO of CORE Migration.
