ATLANTA – March 13, 2002 – iWay Software, an Information Builders
company that accelerates e-business integration, and Covast Corporation, provider

adapter software eliminates nearly all of the custom coding required when integrating
these systems. Now our customers can quickly and seamlessly integrate their
trading communities directly with their back-end systems. The combination of
Covast and iWay’s solutions represent a comprehensive, best-in-breed option
for companies looking for a rapid and inexpensive way to participate in true
collaborative commerce with their business partners.”

and cost-effectively, especially in the complex B2B and EDI arena,” said
John Senor, President of iWay Software. “iWay reduces the time and cost
of integration in complex back-office environments, so between the two companies
integration can happen faster than ever before. We’re very happy to be
a part of the Covast team.”
