    Enterprise Renovation Suite/2000(TM)
    The AutoEnhancer/2000 for Date Expansion product is part of the Peritus
Enterprise Renovation Suite/2000 (ERS/2000).  The ERS/2000 solution
combines the AutoEnhancer/2000 and Vantage YR2000(TM) product families
into a single, comprehensive Year 2000 solution.  The ERS/2000 solution
addresses the complete Year 2000 project lifecycle with tools that support
all phases of the renovation: assessment, correction, and testing.  The
ERS/2000 solution includes products for MVS, VM/VSE, and AS/400 platforms
and enables renovation of software written in COBOL, PL/I, RPG, TELON,
Natural, or Assembler languages.  The ERS/2000 solution also includes a
universal scanner/converter for renovating virtually any software written
in a 4th generation language.  The ERS/2000 solution enables clients to
choose the renovation approach that best suits their needs:

    -- A centralized or decentralized approach
    -- Renovation on the platform of choice: MVS or VSE mainframe, RS/6000,
AS/400, and NT
    -- A strategy that includes date expansion, logic correction (windowing),
or a hybrid approach

    The ERS/2000 solution employs some of the most advanced technologies
available.  These technologies increase productivity with a high level of
automation, reducing the time and costs associated with a Year 2000
project.  The flexibility and power built into the products allows a
client to easily control and implement century compliance conversion
projects and increases the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of the
renovation work performed.
