CipherSoft Inc. to provide Java Conversion Tool

Ciphersoft Inc., a recently formed Calgary based conversion company announced today the release of its Java conversion tool, Exodus™. The company, the brainchild of entrepreneurs Jennifer and Brian McNeill, will provide the Exodus™ product, which converts Oracle Forms and PL/SQL into the Java environment as its first release. Further releases of the software will include other versions which take additional proprietary applications into the Java environment. CipherSoft will also offer training and consulting around the Exodus™ product as well as a factory type environment in which to convert client's code.

CipherSoft Inc. has been formed as a result of many years of experience on the McNeill's part. Previously the owners of Cipher Systems Ltd. sold to Cedar Group PLC in August, 2000, the McNeill's each have over 25 years experience in the IT market.

"Our products and services provide clients with extensive capability and functionality to take Oracle Forms into the Enterprise Java Beans environment. We are excited about the market potential for this product and the ability to provide Oracle users with a conversion product that takes them into a truly ‘open' environment," said CipherSoft President and CEO, Jennifer McNeill. "Our market research shows that many Oracle users are looking for the ability to move forward into the Java environment, not just with their PL/SQL but also their Oracle Forms. This product will provide that capability.”

"We are experiencing rapidly increasing demand for this type of technology. This tool has tremendous potential to move into other environments other than Oracle as we move users into the Java world,” said Brian McNeill, Managing Director of CipherSoft Inc. and the designer of the product.

With its headquarters in Calgary, the company will provide this product globally by partnerships with a large distribution channel worldwide. Utilizing their past experience with owning software companies, and building on their reputation of operating high-effective, cost-efficient companies, the McNeill's plan to move aggressively into this global market.
