WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 27, 2001

Metier Ltd. today announced an initiative to develop integration and
full synchronization capabilities between Metier's WorkLenz and
Microsoft Project, which will add the ability to statistically model
and predict future work behavior based on performance data.

WorkLenz' data mining and what-if analysis capabilities enable
customers to produce more accurate and refined project plans based on
statistical information. Another key benefit for Microsoft Project
customers is that WorkLenz provides an Application Service Provider
(ASP) access point for Microsoft Project data and synchronization with
Pocket PC devices, making it even easier to track project status,
update task information, and share project data with team members.

"One of the greatest benefits for customers is the new value WorkLenz
brings to Microsoft Project plans," said Douglas Clark, chief
executive officer for Metier. "Using the information stored in these
plans, WorkLenz can accurately predict future performance for upcoming
projects - everything from schedule, to cost, to most efficient
resources."
