ORLANDO, FL January 16, 2001 - DYS Analytics, Inc. today announced an agreement with IBM that provides qualified customers with a cost effective option to finance their implementation of the DYS Analytics traffic management applications designed for mission critical email and groupware systems.

"Conducting business today means being pummeled by constant streams of information flying to and from numerous destinations, often for multiple purposes. This information must be constantly updated and readily available," said Marco Farsheed, CEO of DYS Analytics. "As email continues to be the most utilized form of business communication worldwide, senior corporate management teams are slowly becoming aware of the critical need to manage and understand the flow of information in a way that is consistent with the mission of their businesses. DYS helps them gain that awareness and efficiency."

Through the agreement with IBM Global Financing, qualified DYS customers have the option to implement DYS Analytics solutions more quickly and cost-effectively.
