Partnership Gives Oxford Consulting Group Exclusive Distribution Rights to
ITAC's B2B Framework in US 

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Oxford Consulting Group, Inc., a
leading technology services firm specializing in the integration of business
and technology for the mid-market and Global 2000 throughout the United
States, today announced a strategic partnership with ITAC Asia LTD, a Hong
Kong based technology firm. 

Through this partnership, Oxford Consulting will gain exclusive U.S.
distribution rights to ITAC's product B2B Framework(TM) for Gentran
Integration Suite (GIS) and Sterling Integrator(TM) (SI), an application
toolset with over 100 prebuilt business processes designed to support the
rapid deployment of Sterling Commerce's applications.  By leveraging the B2B
Framework, traditional implementation efforts can be reduced by up to 70
percent.  

Tightly integrated with Sterling Commerce's GIS and SI applications, the B2B
Framework delivers a prebuilt infrastructure designed to minimize standard
development and deployment times while extending the out-of-the-box
functionality found in the GIS and SI applications.  With enhanced end-to-end
process visibility and improved error handling, the B2B Framework dramatically
reduces the effort associated with implementation and therefore, the cost and
time to realized benefit.  

"The cost of implementing world class applications like Sterling's GIS and SI
can sometimes be cost prohibitive, especially in tight economic conditions,"
said Chris Halvorson, Director, Integration Services, Oxford Consulting Group.
 "With ITAC's B2B Framework, this hurdle is now minimized, allowing
organizations to more quickly see the benefits of integrating their trading
partner communities," Halvorson continued.  

"We are excited about our strategic relationship with Oxford Consulting and
the opportunity it represents for U.S. based companies," said Horace Mak,
Managing Director, ITAC Asia. "To date, ITAC has successfully deployed the B2B
Framework in more than twenty (20) GIS customers in five (5) countries with
tremendous success," Mak continued.

Oberto Sausage Company, a long time customer of Sterling Commerce and Oxford
Consulting, has already committed to a June, 2009 implementation of the B2B
Framework as part of their planned GIS upgrade. 

"The addition of the B2B Framework to our project will not only allow us to
see significant saving in terms of implementation time and money, but also
gives Oberto a platform on which to develop and quickly implement new
initiatives on our own," said Tom Kingsley, IT Director, Oberto Sausage
Company.  

"Flexibility and speed are critical to success in today's competitive
marketplace," Kingsley added.
