PENCOM AND TOWER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION TO COLLABORATE ON EIFFEL

Service and Product Providers will collaborate to offer OO solutions to
clients based on the Eiffel Programming Language.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- June 21, 1 994 -- Pencom and Tower Technology
Corporation, both based in Austin, Texas, announced this week at NEXTSTEP
EXPO a relationship under which the companies will collaborate in order to
provide complete object oriented solutions. Pencom is a leading provider
of staffing and business re-engineering services targeted at OO projects.
Tower is the leading supplier of high performance OO multi-language
development environments for Eiffel, C, C++, and Objective C.

Pencom will now support Re-engineering projects with their Rapid Results
Application Development program that utilize the TowerEiffel development
environment for implementation. This is a natural extension of Pencom's
Object Oriented Analysis and Design methodology that supports other OO
implementation technologies. Tower will provide Eiffel technology transfer
and priority technical support to Pencom in support of projects using
TowerEiffel. Pencom's Rapid Results Application Development program
provides consulting, development, technology transfer, training, and
staffing assistance to end users seeking to improve the competitiveness of
their business through the use of new information systems based on Object
Oriented methodologies and tools.

Dr. W. Frank King, president of Pencom Software, views the new relationship
as a natural extension of the Pencom capabilities. "Pencom is fully
committed to the use of Object Oriented methodologies for developing
robust, flexible, reliable information systems quickly. Having a powerful
implementation environment allows the requirements and design work to
proceed naturally and quickly through implementation. Eiffel has always
been a clean and powerful object oriented programming language. With
TowerEiffel, we now have a commercial implementation of Eiffel that we can
base true business critical applications on."

Robert Howard, CEO and president of Tower, says, "Many companies are
looking at object technology as the most effective way to create and
maintain complex applications. Consequently, the demand for Eiffel
programmers has increased over the past year". Pencom's proven experience
in developing and deploying OO information systems makes them an ideal
partner for Tower. Tower selected Pencom as a strategic partner because of
Pencom's early efforts in the practical application of object technology,
its solid expertise in OO development, and its excellent reputation in the
industry.

Tower Technology Corporation is the leading provider of advanced products
and services for multi-language object oriented development in Eiffel, C,
C++, and Objective C. Products include the high performance TowerEiffel
compiler, open development environment, programming tools, and reusable
class libraries. Services include product support, training, consulting,
and specialized research & development.

The Eiffel language, created in 1 986, is a non-proprietary advanced object
oriented programming language with built-in software engineering
principles. Key features of Eiffel include a clean syntax and a powerful
object model, as well as automated support for memory management, quality
assurance and documentation generation. Eiffel has been popular in
academia since the late 80s for teaching OO concepts and is gaining market
share for commercial development, both as an OO design specification and
modeling language and as an application development system. NICE ( the
Non-Profit International Consortium for Eiffel ) controls the language's
standards and holds the Eiffel trademark.
