TORONTO, ON., April 5, 2001 - Enlogix, North America's leading energy billing service provider, today announced an agreement that will strengthen its relationship with SCT (NASDAQ: SCTC), a global leader in software and service solutions for the energy, utilities and communications, education, process manufacturing and government marketplaces. The agreement will expand the reach of Enlogix, a provider of outsourced customer information system (CIS) solutions, to many of the companies competing for the North American consumer's attention in the increasingly deregulated utilities industries.

"As energy markets deregulate, even more consumers across North America will now have the choice to opt for gas, electricity and related services from suppliers taking advantage of our combined technologies," said Anthony Haines, President and CEO of Toronto-based Enlogix. "For those established players in the electric and gas industry, it is essential that they improve their customer interaction in order to retain their customer base. For the new players, it is a matter of attracting new customers with the best possible service offering available. Given SCT's dominance in the North American utilities industry, we could have no stronger technical and marketing partner."

The agreement announced today will give Enlogix, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westcoast Energy, Inc. (TSE: W; NYSE: WE), access to SCT's technical and marketing resources, while SCT gains access to Enlogix's development resources. Enlogix will provide its CIS services on an outsourced basis in both Canada and the United States, as well as remain the exclusive reseller of SCT's Banner products in Canada.

"This agreement means more utilities will now have the option of outsourcing their CIS so they can rapidly respond to changes in the industry, as well as to customers' demands for enhanced services and convenience," said John Gregg, President of SCT's global energy, utilities and communications business. "Enlogix currently services some three million consumers on behalf of their clients on an outsourced basis. This makes Enlogix by far the largest application service provider in the North American utilities industry and access to their development expertise is important to us."

SCT and Enlogix will be participating in the SCT Summit next week in Toronto, April 8 - 11, 2001, an event that will bring together over 5,000 participants from around the world. The Summit is an educational forum for users of SCT solutions.

"The SCT Summit will give SCT and Enlogix energy clients the chance to hear about our strengthened new relationship first hand," said Mr. Haines. "We are thrilled that our home, Toronto, was chosen as the host city of this year's SCT Summit."
