TORONTO, CANADA, April 9, 2001 - What do leading universities from five continents, multinational food and chemical companies, justice departments for local governments, as well as regulated and deregulating utilities companies have in common? For the first time, SCT (NASDAQ: SCTC), a leading global provider of e-business solutions, brings together these clients from its four served industries - education; energy, utilities, & communications; process manufacturing & distribution; and government -- for its annual users conference, SCT Summit 2001. In addition to these 4, 700 users of SCT solutions, nearly 60 strategic alliance partners will be exhibiting at the conference from April 8 to 11, 2001.

Chairman and CEO Michael J. Emmi emphasized SCT's focus on the "power of partnership" in his keynote address to the record-breaking crowd at yesterday's conference opening at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. In attendance were SCT global software and services clients from five continents, 21 countries, 48 states and the District of Columbia, as well as from 9 Canadian provinces. Product education, information exchange, client interaction, and sharing the SCT vision for the future with a broad range of clients -- new, experienced, small, large -- led the list of conference priorities.

"This is an exciting first for SCT, and we are capitalizing on a growing synergy among our clients in four vertical markets - together in one place and time," Emmi said. "A meeting of the minds such as this allows us to build into SCT solutions our clients' expertise, best practices, and experience, and it deepens our considerable industry immersion and focus. And with over 70% of our 600 Summit sessions being client-led, it's clear that our users group team members are drawing inspiration and information from each other as well," he added.

SCT Summit is the largest and longest-running users group meeting for administrative software in higher education. Clients from virtually all types and sizes of institution -- public, private, state systems, research institutions, community colleges, and medical schools -- together celebrate their mutual vision and commitment to delivering the best in education to their students.

"SCT knows more about the higher education market than any other ERP vendor," said Professor Roger Rigelhof, Banner project director at McGill University in Canada. "A key reason we chose SCT is because they have many proven applications in place in higher education. In addition, SCT is moving to a more global view and is thinking about the fit of data systems in other countries. That is an important and positive initiative."

SCT is also the leader in business solutions designed for the process manufacturing and distribution industries, with solutions that are flexible and tailored to a client's specific e-business or supply chain needs. The iProcess.sct solution provides supply chain planning, collaborative Internet commerce, relationship network management and supply chain execution capabilities to serve the food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, consumer packaged goods, biotechnology and related process industries. With iProcess.sct, SCT clients are able to maximize value in their supply chains and commerce networks through collaboration, supply chain optimization and e-CRM capabilities.

At Summit 2001, keynote presentations by leading industry analysts on current market issues, as well as demonstrations of an expanded array of new components, releases, and alliances will support SCT's recently announced vision of the "commerce network." This expanded vision, coined "Collaboration in Process," brings focus to the increasing significance of collaboration in supply chains -- among a complex relationship network of customers, suppliers, exchanges, brokers and third-party service providers. SCT will also introduce at the conference enhanced e-CRM capabilities to the iProcess.sct solution, which will make it possible for companies to extend Internet commerce applications by providing on-line communications and call center capabilities that improve customer interaction.

In the energy market, where increasing deregulation has led to fierce competition for the consumer's attention and choice in North America and globally, SCT's Banner suite of technology products, services and other e-CRM solutions support more than 200 clients around the world. Thirty-eight million utility services' bills are generated monthly with SCT solutions. The company's leading-edge software and services enable comprehensive customer aggregation and fulfillment strategies for clients -- utilities, energy service companies, and communications companies -- moving aggressively into the age of deregulation.

Last month, SCT and Toronto-based Enlogix, North America's leading energy billing service provider and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westcoast Energy, Inc. (TSE: W; NYSE: WE), announced an agreement aimed at penetrating the deregulating utilities in Canada and the U.S. The agreement was signed in SCT's first fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2000. The SCT Summit will give SCT and Enlogix energy clients the chance to hear about this strengthened new relationship firsthand. Enlogix will provide its CIS services in partnership with SCT in both Canada and the United States, as well as remain the exclusive reseller of SCT's Banner products in Canada.

"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."

Users of SCT's government solutions software and services include more than 1,100 federal, state, and local governments, courts, and public agencies worldwide. From administrative and self-service applications to consulting, e-government, digital justice and outsourcing, SCT helps public sector organizations align IT resources with strategic objectives, increase constituent satisfaction, and keep pace with technology.

SCT recently began a public/private IT outsourcing partnership with the City of Memphis, valued at more than $50 million, helping the government to align IT resources with strategic objectives, increase constituent satisfaction, and keep pace with technology. The contract was signed in SCT's second fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2001.

In the government solutions arena, a major focus is on strategic partnerships that speed technology solutions to clients and connect them to their constituents with better, faster services. Among the new justice solutions partners participating in this year's conference is Computing System Innovations (CSI). In partnership with CSI, SCT is integrating their market leading SCT Courts case management system with CSI's InCourt module. This powerful combination of tools allows courts to process all case-related work in real-time in the courtroom, even during the busiest high-volume sessions, eliminating duplicated efforts and delayed processing. Now constituents can leave the court with their paperwork in hand, their fines paid, and all business transactions completed. CSI also offers R-Stream and TrakMan, unique solutions that track physical objects, including case files and evidence, using on-line, bar coding, and radio frequency identification (RFID) tracking technology.
