Yonkers, N.Y., September 14, 2001 - Austin Computer Enterprises, Inc. has been named to Deloitte & Touche's prestigious "Fast 50" Program for New York, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in New York, Westchester and Rockland counties. Rankings are based on five-year percentage revenue growth (1996-2000). These companies, which impact a broad spectrum of industries, are defying conventional wisdom by consistently expanding their revenues over a substantial period of time.

This software innovator was organized in 1994 with a focus on providing the Telecommunications Industry with software tools for Operational Support Systems (OSS), Information Management, Auditing for Regulatory Compliance, Business Rule Management, and Testing Services. With increased deregulation their systems can easily migrate to all utilities including Water, Gas, and Electric.

The company's methods are based on analyzing business processes and requirements to provide the proper technology for their clients. Austin "closes the gap" between systems and reduces the manual efforts to ensure data integrity. When it comes to interfacing with the highly specialized sub-systems that make up a complete OSS, in-depth industry expertise is a critical factor for any company's success. "Our proven ability to deliver exceptional management capabilities while decreasing your costs will bring you to market faster. This is at the core of our success - and will be yours." Said Michael Austin, CEO

The company has since built Decision and Management Support Systems to assist companies in analyzing data and identifying problems to determine what "system fixes" would generate the "greatest return".

Their auditing division can help your organization by performing third-party audits that are mandated by the Public Service Commission, Public Utilities Commission, and the Federal Communications Commission.

Through these audits, clients are able to improve both their process and level of customer service, not to mention reduce fines by these Commissions. Austin has had substantial experience in dealing with these agencies.

Their testing facility enables companies to test new releases and the functionality of EDI transactions with a focus on identifying and solving errors. Austin analyzes these errors to identify trends and make recommendations based on statistical analysis rather than a "quick fix approach." Austin Computer Enterprises, Inc. should be your only "OUT SOURCING" entity.

Austin can:

• Manage your information
• Audit your data
• Test your accuracy

• Generate a greater return for your company by "fixing yours"
