FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Excelergy Completes First European
Implimentation Within 12 Weeks
Speed-to-Market, European
Market Knowledge seen as Keys to Successful Implementation
LEXINGTON, MA. and UTRECHT, HOLLAND; May 10, 2001 - ANY-G,
the affiliate of Holland's fourth-largest utility REMU, today announced
that it has successfully become operational with the Excelergy Advanced
Business Package just 12 weeks after licensing the software earlier
this year.
"While we were selecting Excelergy's software, we heard countless
horror stories from other energy companies who were promised a smooth,
rapid implementation by other software providers, but whose results
were bitterly disappointing," said Ronald Van Oijen, managing
director of ANY-G. "Although we knew Excelergy had a superior
track record of successful implementations, we were still impressed
with the speed and market knowledge they demonstrated to get our
system operational so quickly. And even with the rapid timetable,
it didn't require any significant amount of resources either from
ANY-G or Excelergy."
ANY-G obtained the multi-jurisdictional, multi-commodity Excelergy
Advanced Business Package to automate and manage critical business
processes such as billing and customer care. Excelergy's software
- based on the industry's first re-usable, object-based library
- produce low-risk, high-efficiency systems that lower costs and
accelerate business growth. Built and developed exclusively
for global restructuring markets, Excelergy's enables companies
to enter new markets and grow their businesses in the face of rapidly
changing business processes, rules and standards.
"We're pleased to add our first successful implementation
in Europe to our growing list of successful implementations
in North America," said Bill Mahoney, Excelergy's president
and chief executive officer. "In addition to our speed and
market knowledge, we earn these kinds of successes based on our
world-class object technology and our unparalleled engineering
execution."
In 2001, Holland's market for "green energy" - energy
generated in environmentally sound ways - is scheduled to open to
competition between suppliers and utilities. By 2002, commercial
and industrial energy users in Holland will be free to choose a
new energy supplier, and by 2003 the same will apply to all energy
customers, including small business and residential customers. The
multi-year agreement with Excelergy enables ANY-G to address all
of these target market segments.
