Press Release Summary: Formula ERP Leader Escape Velocity Systems Wins another
Pharmaceutical Customer

Press Release Body: The term escape velocity refers to the speed that is necessary
for an object to overcome gravity and soar into space. EVS provides direct
applications for businesses looking for a catalyst, not just a software package.
Process manufacturers require the best software solution coupled with industry
experience that will accelerate the velocity with which they race towards their
goals. The gravity of status-quo opposes aggressive, cutting edge organizations as
they strive towards high quality and short lead time delivery while reducing
inventories and operating costs.

Evan Garber, President of Escape Velocity Systems (www.evs-sw.com) recently
announced that SST Corporation selected the firm's process manufacturing software
solution. Garber commented, "We are delighted to provide the leading full-service
pharmaceutical agency with the most efficacious technology solution. SST represents
world-class manufacturers of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine
chemicals and intermediates (FCIs.)

SST's audited network of global suppliers provide gram to commercial-scale
production of APIs and FCIs, as well as custom synthesis. SST Corporation was
founded in New York City in 1948, as a brokerage house for heavy and industrial
chemical supply. It takes its name from the three founding partners - Fred Schmitz,
Arthur Schoenwaldt and Harry Turner. In 1950, the company shifted direction and
entered the burgeoning pharmaceutical market, as a supplier of active pharmaceutical
ingredients (APIs). During those early days, SST sought out relationships mainly
with European-based API manufacturers, and developed its first long-term partnership
with Boehringer Mannheim, to distribute Quinine and Quinidine.

Throughout the 1950s, the firm rapidly expanded our relationships with suppliers in
Europe, adding several other major German manufacturers to our network. As the
growing pharmaceutical industry flourished, so did SST's partnerships; which soon
included top API manufacturers in Italy, Finland, and Spain. Eventually that list
lengthened to include companies in Israel, India, Japan, Korea, China and the United
States as well. By the early 1960s, SST was solidly established as a dependable and
knowledgeable agency connecting pharmaceutical, API and fine chemical sources
worldwide with manufacturers of generic and ethical pharmaceuticals and bulk
vitamins in the United States.

As the business grew, it became necessary to construct a larger facility to house
the company's expanded operations. In 1985, SST moved into a brand-new facility in
Clifton, New Jersey. In addition to housing the company headquarters, the facility
provides a huge, attached warehouse for storage and control of the chemicals
required for just-in-time delivery to customers. One of the most unique aspects of
the business is the capability to maintain substantial inventory and ship most of
the products we sell directly from our warehouse.

As the company continues to grow, they needed to find the best process manufacturing
technology solution and concluded that Escape Velocity Systems was best able to
address the unique formula-based requirements.

Escape Velocity Systems (EVS) was formed in 2001 to combine specific industry
knowledge related to process manufacturing, distribution, and ERP implementations
with cutting edge software development. The company focus is to create tools that
enable mid-market enterprises to achieve their goals, focusing on lean processes and
ROI. According Garber, "We realize that good ERP software is the hub of
information in any process manufacturing enterprise. Timely, reliable, and
centralized data are non-negotiable elements for businesses competing in the 21st
century."
