technology company whose solutions dramatically improve executives' abilities
to predict the outcomes of their product lifecycle management decisions before

region's automotive industry giants.
QuestOne's Detroit office is fueled by the Automotive Division of the
company, focused on providing marketing, sales, operations and educational
services for the automotive leaders based in the city. QuestOne will continue
forging partnerships with the area's leading automotive corporations,
providing them with a set of technology tools that enables them to make
dramatically improved product lifecycle management decisions by identifying
the true capacity of the organization, the true variability of organizational
expenses, and the actual drivers of organizational response time thus
determining real bottom line impact.
QuestOne's Detroit office opened officially on January 4, 1999 and is
directed by QuestOne Industrial Business Unit President Rick Miller,
responsible for continuing existing relationships and building new
relationships in the automotive and tier-one automotive supplier markets.
"QuestOne's expansion into the Detroit region reinforces our commitment to
serving the automotive industry giants based in the area," said Miller.

world headquarters for General Motors Corporation, Ford Motor Company,
Chrysler Corporation, and Volkswagen of America, and with the state's
automotive assembly plants building 25 percent of all the vehicles produced in
the nation. We're focused on continuing our partnerships with Fortune
500 companies and providing them with software based enterprise solutions that
take the guesswork out of product lifecycle management decision making by
quantifying the interrelationship between cash, capacity and time."

QuestOne's Solutions for Automotive Companies
Automotive companies are faced with intensifying global competitive
pressures, including shrinking vehicle life cycles, rapidly evolving vehicle
styling trends, emerging niche vehicle markets, growing sophistication of
vehicle technology, growing importance of full-service supplier relationships,
global vehicle production over-capacity and intensifying financial performance
expectations.
QuestOne's Product Lifecycle Management solutions provide automotive OEMs
and their suppliers with unprecedented product lifecycle management
perspectives through quantification of the organization's interrelated cash,
capacity and time performance drivers. Quantifying these drivers has proven to
be the key in dramatically reducing vehicle development time, increasing
vehicle development throughput, synchronizing and streamlining the automotive
supply chain and maximizing return on investment and assets.
About QuestOne Decision Sciences
QuestOne Decision Sciences partners with leading corporations to help them
replace outdated traditional approaches to product lifecycle management
decision making by introducing the first new approach to such decision making
in more than 50 years. QuestOne's CASH-CAPACITY-TIME(TM) technology
dramatically increases the accuracy of predicted results of proposed product
lifecycle management actions of complex organizations. QuestOne is the first
to accurately quantify the interrelationship between cash, capacity and time
for a complex organization (i.e., the true performance drivers of the modern
complex enterprise). As a result, QuestOne enables executives to make more
informed decisions by identifying the true capacity of the organization, the
true variability of organizational expenses, and the actual drivers of
organizational response time. This enables executives to accurately evaluate
critical "what if" scenarios and leads to a precise understanding of bottom
line impact. In essence, QuestOne's technology allows executives to evaluate
their options with a focus on the net cash impact to their business with
unprecedented accuracy and certainty.
By taking the guesswork out of product lifecycle management decision
making, QuestOne's technology enables industry leaders to become truly adept
at evaluating all critical financial impacts of their proposed actions and
exposing the true profit drivers of their business. In doing so, QuestOne
delivers an integrated suite of software tools that leverages the customer's
investment in IT infrastructure.
