D&B Software Plans Support of Microsoft SQL Server 6.0 To Provide Greater
Enterprise-Management Options

SmartStream Applications Also Available on Microsoft Windows NT

June 19, 1995 -- ATLANTA -- Dun & Bradstreet Software today announced plans
to support Microsoft SQL Server 6.0, which broadens its existing database
support for the Microsoft Windows NT operating system.

"Our support for Microsoft SQL Server 6.0 reinforces our recently announced
distributed computing strategy, which includes our upcoming new
SmartStream DE (Distributed Enterprise) client/server platform," said Jeff
Scherb, senior vice president and chief technology officer. "It is another
major step in our creation of flexible enterprise solutions which allow
applications to be distributed without being tied to a centralized
database."

"We are excited that D&B Software is committed to supporting Microsoft SQL
Server 6.0 and Windows NT server," said Jim Allchin, senior vice
president, business systems division at Microsoft. "The combination of the
SmartStream applications running on these Microsoft BackOffice products
offers significant advantages for companies seeking scalable
enterprise-wide solutions to address business software needs."

The SmartStream enterprise suite consists of integrated workflow-enabled
clients/server tools and applications. The SmartStream series of products
include: SmartStream Financials, SmartStream Decision Support, SmartStream
Human Resources and SmartStream Manufacturing/Distribution.

Microsoft SQL Server 6.0 for Windows NT supports simultaneous access over
multiple protocols. Replication and enterprise management technologies are
fully integrated into Microsoft SQL Server 6.0. It also includes SQL
Enterprise Manager, a graphical administration tool unique to Microsoft
SQL Server 6.0 that has drag-and-drop capability.

D&B Software will be offering SmartStream DE on Microsoft SQL Server 6.0 by
early 1996. SmartStream DE is the enabling client/server platform for data
distribution, data replication and distributed workflow throughout an
organization. SmartStream DE will enable: operational autonomy while
supporting a centralized policy control; elimination of single point of
failure issues; scalability and improved performance by distributing
workloads; and coordination and consolidation of information and workflows
among multiple computing platforms.

D&B Software, with more than 10,000 customer sites in over 60 countries, is
a company of The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation. D&B Software, with more
than 2,000 employees, provides a broad range of business software
products, tools and services, including decision support tools, financial,
human resource, manufacturing and distribution applications.
