Beyond 20/20's Reseller and Services Partner Wins Two Big Contracts in the U.K.

OTTAWA - June 25, 2003 - Forvus, Beyond 20/20 Inc.'s longtime partner in the United Kingdom, has won substantial contracts with two central government agencies in the U.K.: The National Assembly for Wales and Scottish Enterprise.

The National Assembly for Wales has hired Forvus to develop a Statistical Dissemination and Managed Web Service. This means developing a website which will enable publishing of statistics on the Internet using Beyond 20/20 Web Data Server. It will be available in both English and Welsh and will be hosted by Forvus.

Futureskills Scotland, an applied labour market research unit and part of Scottish Enterprise, is using Beyond 20/20 to present their latest survey information via the Web. This is part of an initiative to improve access to labour market intelligence across Scotland. Forvus is not only providing the software, but also developing the data tables that will be displayed on the Web site.

By winning these two contracts, Forvus have secured Beyond 20/20's leadership within the central government statistical market in the U.K. Now, every major statistical agency in the U.K. uses Beyond 20/20's solutions. The U.K.'s Office for National Statistics has been a long-time user of Beyond 20/20's Web Data Server to disseminate data online. As well, the U.K.'s Department for Education and Skills, HM Customs and Excise, and DTI have purchased Beyond 20/20's solutions from Forvus.

"Forvus's partnership is extremely valuable to Beyond 20/20," said Bill Lidington, president of Beyond 20/20 Inc. "Their team has always been enthusiastic in its promotion of our products. They have been the driver behind Beyond 20/20's current popularity within the U.K.'s statistical community."
