Kissimmee new car finance

Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

LAKE MARY, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 29, 2000

HTE Inc. (Nasdaq:HTEI), a leading provider of enterprise-wide software solutions for public sector organizations and utilities worldwide, today announced that the city of Kissimmee, FL has become the first government agency to test HTE's newest product, the JavaLine(TM) Series of GMBA(R), HTE's comprehensive fund accounting system. HTE announced its plans to migrate its entire Total Enterprise Solution product family to the n-tier architecture JavaLine Series last spring.

"Everyone who sees it says `this is what we want,'" said Peggy Sousa, director of information technology for Kissimmee.

During the testing period, ten city employees representing finance, information systems and end-user departments will be using the system.

"We're hoping to capitalize on the fact that most people already know how to use a Web browser," Sousa said. "This should greatly reduce training time, especially for the casual user."

Sousa said because the JavaLine Series is simpler, more employees in other departments will be able to use the system to easily access information they need to do their jobs better.

Kissimmee, at the doorstep of Walt Disney World, just west of Orlando, hosts millions of visitors each year and is located in the fourth fastest growing county in the United States.

"There's tremendous excitement about this installation both at the city of Kissimmee and at HTE," said Don Marcum, HTE's JavaLine Series project director. "Users are totally comfortable with this new product from the moment they see it. We're expecting our JavaLine products to be very popular."

The Web-enabled version of GMBA was developed with Jacada(R) Innovator from Jacada (Nasdaq:JCDA), a tool that simplifies the process of changing existing software into the look and feel of the familiar Web browser. Jacada Innovator allows HTE to accelerate its delivery of these solutions by using existing resources and skills and by leveraging the deep functionality provided in the company's industry leading applications. GMBA is the first HTE application to be offered in the JavaLine Series; other products are now in development for release early next year.
