FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Questar to Move to SPL WorldGroup’s CorDaptix™ Customer Management System

MORRISTOWN, NJ., May 22, 2003 – SPL WorldGroup announced today that Questar Gas Co. will move its approximately 750,000 customer accounts to SPL’s flagship CorDaptix™ customer management solution. The system is expected to be operational in mid-2004.

Questar—which serves residential, commercial and industrial customers in Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho—is replacing a 30-year-old legacy billing system that has become too rigid and inflexible to accommodate the realities of today’s natural gas marketplace. As an immediate benefit, Questar expects to better serve customers with faster access to account information and increased flexibility.

“We’ve built our success on our ability to satisfy a rapidly growing customer base while controlling costs,” said Questar Gas President Alan Allred. “We’ve long needed new customer management software that provides flexibility and an ability to better serve our customers. In choosing SPL WorldGroup’s CorDaptix customer management solution, we are confident that it meets our criteria and comes from a vendor with a reputation for successful implementation and ongoing, rock-solid support. We look forward to a rapid implementation that will have us up and running on the new system next year.”

“We are very pleased to be entering into what we expect will be a long and productive relationship with one of the nation’s leading mid-size gas distribution companies,” said SPL CTO Guerry Waters. “Over the past months, we have worked closely with the company to examine current requirements and future needs. As we move forward with product implementation, it is with the knowledge that Questar will be setting a standard among natural gas distribution companies, and we are proud to be playing a role in its strategic positioning.”
