CASAHL: Winner of Lotus Advisor Excellence Award 2002 for its Enterprise Collaboration Solutions

SAN RAMON, CA – November 5, 2002 -- CASAHL Technology, a leading provider of enabling technology for enterprise collaborative applications, today announced it is the recipient of the Lotus Advisor Excellence Award for 2002. CASAHL products support the construction of enterprise collaboration applications based on groupware and messaging systems and enterprise application content. By capitalizing on existing systems and preferred user interfaces, CASAHL products facilitate rapid implementation of collaborative solutions, encourage user participation by means of familiar interfaces, and maximize an organization’s return on all previous investments in application development and IT infrastructure.

CASAHL has maintained its dominance in the Lotus/Domino environment for the past five years with numerous awards and honors. Lotus Advisor magazine selected CASAHL’s Replic-Action for its use of Lotus Notes technology to improve business processes, promote e-commerce, improve customer service, expand business opportunities and benefit users within the organization. A panel of judges chosen by Advisor selected award-winning entries and evaluation was based on the following criteria: appropriateness of solution to the problem; innovative use of Lotus technology; quantifiable business benefit; and development creativity and ingenuity.

“Replic-Action was very easy to us. The learning curve was minimal, and it doesn’t take a lot of time to implement a solution once a problem or need is identified,” states Rick Bryant, Project Manager of Coinstar, the leading coin tabulation machine product and service provider in the World.

Harry Wong, CEO and President of CASAHL Technology states, “We are continuing our tradition of leading the Domino integration market with Replic-Action™ and ecKnowledge® . We are very honored to have won this year’s Lotus Advisor 2002 Excellence Award, and also to be awarded as the winner of the Lotus Advisor 2002 Gold Award for Data Integration.”
