SCP Pool, A Billion Dollar Corporation, Selects TECSYS for European Platform

World's Largest Pool Products Distributor to Implement EliteSeries

MONTREAL, November 3, 2004 — TECSYS Inc. (TSE: TCS), a leading Supply Chain Management (SCM) software provider announced today that it has signed an agreement with SCP Pool Corporation (PoolCorp) to implement its EliteSeries application suite in continental Europe. TECSYS’ software will provide PoolCorp with the functionality, scalability, technology edge, and strategic processes to meet and exceed the company’s demanding and growing distribution requirements in Europe.

Tim Babco, Director of Information Technology of PoolCorp, stated, “As we focused on continental Europe for growth, we were faced with numerous challenges such as finding a suite of enterprise applications that meets our needs overseas.” Babco continued, “We needed distribution-centric applications that are multilingual, comply with European accounting requirements, allow for multilingual 24x7 hotline support, and require very few modifications to support our business. We determined that EliteSeries could meet all of our needs, and TECSYS’ professionals clearly demonstrated their knowledge of our industry.”

PoolCorp began its expansion to Europe five years ago. “TECSYS’ thin client, Java-based applications and virtual private network (VPN) technology will enable us to quickly convert the users and setups of our new service centers. This would take place while managing our entire enterprise from our Dallas Data Center using the VPN for simplified, secure, and scalable connectivity. This definitely is a key enabler moving forward,” Babco elaborated. During the assessment phase, TECSYS impressed us with their disciplined project management techniques as well as their approach to keeping the data model and the technical and end-user documentation current and comprehensive. We believe that TECSYS offers a true ‘tier one’ technology solution for distribution.”

Peter Brereton, TECSYS’ President and Co-CEO, commented on the new win, "Using technology to simplify the always-demanding needs of distribution and supply chain management has always been our core value.” Brereton continued, “With our leading Java-based enterprise distribution application suite, we help organizations tear down traditional boundaries and constraints by enabling them to be more responsive and flexible with their customers. When you add to that the requirements for multilingual, multi-currency, and multinational inventory support, one can see how complex distribution really is. We’re very pleased that PoolCorp has elected to partner with us to support its growth. EliteSeries again proves to be the leading choice for global distribution organizations.”

EliteSeries will be implemented at PoolCorp’s data center in Dallas, Texas, running on the UNIX platform and Oracle database on IBM pSeries servers. PoolCorp is scheduled to go live with EliteSeries in Portugal and Spain in the first calendar quarter of 2005.
