Silvon Introduces Web Consumer
for Stratum™ Analytic Applications

New Information Delivery Platform Extends The Analytical Power of Stratum to Enterprise Users Worldwide via Standard Web Browser

WESTMONT, IL — February 20, 2001 — Silvon Software, Inc. today announced the availability of Stratum.eZViewer™, a decision-making support tool that brings the power of the Web to critical corporate information. Stratum.eZViewer was built by Silvon to allow users of its Stratum suite of analytic applications to transparently access business data from the Stratum data warehouse via a web browser and apply sophisticated, pre-built business analytics. Information is presented in HTML format within a secure Internet, Intranet or Extranet environment.

Stratum.eZViewer was designed to facilitate enterprise-wide access to Stratum analytics and to provide instant, dynamic analysis and reporting of corporate data both internally and externally. The product offers a highly intuitive, browser-based interface that requires minimal training. In addition, the zero-footprint architecture of Stratum.eZViewer allows for quick implementation. Once installed on an application server, users can access the Stratum data through their Web browsers once multiple levels of security at the network and application levels have been satisfied.

“Stratum.eZViewer delivers a flexible approach for information access that is just as easy as using an Internet search engine,” said Michael J. Hennel, president and CEO of Silvon. “It gives companies the power to provide sophisticated analytic capabilities to anyone who is responsible for making everyday decisions that impact profitability, growth, and customer relationships. Since Stratum.eZViewer delivers mission critical business information securely via a Web browser, our customers can collaborate easily and much more extensively with customers, suppliers and prospects.”
