DALLAS, March 31, 2004 — Stonebridge Technologies, the developer and provider of SMARTrakker™ for Enterprise Management of Sun Maintenance, is pleased to announce new, expanded asset management services and enterprise integration capabilities that deliver significant cost savings and operational efficiencies. These new features make SMARTrakker a comprehensive solution that provides:

Enterprise Management of Sun Maintenance

SMARTrakker from Stonebridge is a secure, permissions-based portal service for tracking relevant Sun maintenance contract data: contract term, renewal date, service level, business unit, system type, serial number, system location, and more. Today, companies like Texas Instruments, Federal Express, ConocoPhillips, Entergy, and Marathon Oil are utilizing SMARTrakker to save time and money through:

• Easier, more thorough, and faster physical inventory and contract reconciliations
• A consolidated view of Sun maintenance data via a central repository
• Streamlined and accelerated Sun contract renewal processes
• Elimination of potential lapses in Sun maintenance coverage

Asset Optimization Analysis

Stonebridge has increased SMARTrakker’s business value with a new Asset Optimization Tool that leverages the SMARTrakker central repository of Sun maintenance contract data to help users pinpoint the most efficient and most economical upgrade path. Organizations can realize up to 20% cost savings as a result of a SMARTrakker Asset Optimization analysis. The process provides a detailed analytical model of multiple upgrade paths by factoring in real-time data points from the SMARTrakker repository such as:

• Current maintenance expense
• New product acquisition costs
• New product maintenance costs
• Lease rates
• New equipment processing power and data center requirements
• Current Sun product programs/discounts

Intergration With Enterprise Systems

When several SMARTrakker users recognized the potential business value of more tightly integrating SMARTrakker with their enterprise systems, Stonebridge developed SMARTrakker Integration Adapters to facilitate the seamless integration of SMARTrakker throughout the enterprise. Leveraging our experience as a leading designer, architect and implementer of advanced business integration solutions, Stonebridge today offers SMARTrakker Integration Adapters for Corporate Asset Management Systems and ERP Systems. This integration:

• Ensures assets are properly included in (or excluded from) maintenance contracts
