Press Release Summary = New England Confectioner Chooses Enterprise 21 ERP from
Technology Group International

Press Release Body = Toledo Ohio based Technology Group International (TGI), a
leading ERP software solution provider, announced that Hebert Confections, LLC has
selected Enterprise 21 ERP software as the replacement package for its existing
legacy system.
Originally founded by Fredrick Hebert over eighty years ago, the New England based
company has a long standing tradition of manufacturing traditional boxed chocolates,
gourmet candies, chocolate bars, fudge and other confections. The company is now
owned and operated by Longmeadow Capital, who distributes the fine Hebert product
line through grocery, mass merchant trade, and through its own direct-store-delivery
network and retail store.

When arriving at Hebert Confections, the company's Chief Operating Officer, Jeff
Goodman, quickly discovered he needed to replace its existing software package with
a robust manufacturing, inventory control, and accounting system. Goodman soon
located IQ Consulting Services, a local consulting firm specializing in enterprise
systems and selection projects. IQ Consulting Services helped Hebert Confections
review Enterprise 21's functionality to determine if the package was a good fit for
the company and its operational needs.

Continuing the long tradition of the Hebert family, visits to The Candy Mansion
remain a regular practice of many New England families. The Hebert team still
continues to provide factory tours and holiday events to young and old visitors
alike.

Goodman listed the competitive advantages of TGI's ERP software by stating their
decision to select Enterprise 21 was based on the following criteria:

. Enterprise 21 provided robust financials and manufacturing functionality
. The manufacturing module was complete and flexible
. The financial applications were completely integrated and had data available for
all necessary reports
. The system required no customizing and it provided all the necessary functionality
from only one software vendor
. The product was available for installation with a straightforward implementation
process
. Two demonstrations were enough to show Goodman and his team the full functionality
Enterprise 21 offered and that the package was a best choice for his company.
