Press Release Body = SYDNEY, Australia - Stellar, a leading business process
outsourcing provider, today announced that the Australian Red Cross Blood Service
(ARCBS) has appointed Stellar Business Process Solutions to implement an automated
data capture technology solution to support their invoice processing requirements.

Stellar's solution includes the latest version of Ascent Capture, which delivers
powerful production-level document and data capture capabilities. Ascent Capture
enables Barcode recognition, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for machine print,
Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) for handwriting and Optical Mark Recognition
(OMR) for check marks.

Ascent Xtrata Professional, a sophisticated add-on module for Ascent Capture, is
also part of the solution, and is designed to automate the reading of
semi-structured documents, such as invoices. This will dramatically reduce the need
to perform any manual indexing. Stellar's total solution also includes high-volume
scanning hardware.

"We are delighted to have the opportunity to implement a solution that will reduce
costs and increase processing efficiency for this valued not-for-profit client" said
Geoff Charters, Chief Executive Officer of Stellar Business Process Solutions. "This
new agreement marks the beginning of another successful long-term relationship for
Stellar, and adds to the portfolio of technology and outsourcing solutions we have
delivered".

Recent results for other high-profile clients have been extremely impressive, with
one major client slashing their invoice processing time down from 2 days to 15
minutes and cutting their end-of-month reporting from 10 days to 2 days after
implementing Stellar's Purchase-to-Pay automation solution. Many other clients have
found that they can reduce the cost to process documents by up to 60% or more
through the implementation of Stellar's fileWiseŽ system.

Stellar Business Process Solutions, a pioneer in the field of document management
and workflow automation, combines advanced technology and labour management
expertise to automate manually intensive processes and significantly reduce
operational costs.

By offering a unique transactional pricing approach for both their in-house
technology implementations and their fully outsourced shared services solutions,
Stellar eliminates the need for companies to make large upfront capital investments.
This results in an immediate return on investment, rather than having to wait months
or years.
