With this agreement, PowerCerv continues to significantly strengthen its
position in the North American client/server software market. "This

client/server tools, applications, and services to help customers migrate
to client/server and achieve their strategic business goals," said Harold
R. Ross, PowerCerv CEO and co-founder. "We will continue to seek
opportunities to strengthen our capability to permit customers throughout
the United States to buy or build mission-critical client/server
applications as a viable alternative to centralized, character-based
computing."

Manager at PowerCerv heading up the Detroit office, the agreement will
broaden the product and service offerings available to Visual's former
customers. "Our customers will now have access to a greater variety of
