Enterprise Information Systems Inc.

Description

Company Profile:

EIS was founded in 1991 to specialize in database applications.
At startup, EIS President, Jim Miles, had extensive training and experience with the Oracle product line and had developed two organizations of similar size and capability to the current EIS staff. In 1992, a teaching contract with Oracle Corporation lead to an effective partnership and extensive technical training opportunities (EIS staff instructors can attend Oracle
Corporation training courses at no charge, a benefit we have enjoyed since 1993). During the decade EIS has been in operation, Oracle Corporation and their products have emerged as the leading provider of database technology, particularly for the
Internet. EIS has Oracle expertise and business demand for
Oracle is higher than ever.

EIS has four interdependant lines of business, specializing in
Oracle technology: Application Development, Consulting, Web
Hosting and Training. From a human resources and business infrastructure perspective, these areas are mutually reinforcing.
Instructors can be used as developers and consultants. The same equipment and software used for training can be used for application development and web hosting. EIS has maintained steady overall growth in software development capability and sales.

Over the past five years, on revenues of $4.2 million, EIS has re-invested over 11% on staff salaries for software Research and
Development. After the tasks associated with a paying customer project are satisfied, EIS invests all remaining available staff time and effort in producing software and perfecting software development techniques. This arrangement has resulted in improvements in EIS software production capability and creation of re-usable software components and techniques that can be applied on multiple projects. EIS can competitively price our services and produce products that few competitors can match. In our research and development efforts, we include student labour, and LeagueGM is the most successful example of a student project that has evolved to become a revenue-producing product.

Application Development
Private Sector demand for Oracle development, particularly, the development of database applications on the web, is increasing.
EIS has a mastery of this technology and we have developed and deployed numerous websites to use as references. We are able to re-use existing EIS-developed software and techniques to win bids and further develop software which can be re-used in EIS web applications products. Our strategic plan is to target software markets with requirements similar to our capabilities in order to generate revenues under the ASP model.

Cosulting
Full-time employee and contract staff Oracle Certified
Professional Developers and DBAs are available for consulting assignments. We have supplied consultants to the Government of
British Columbia, the California State Automobile Association.

Web Hosting
The Application Service Provider (ASP) marketplace is made up of companies, that acquire computer services at a vendor site. They pay rental fees for the use of equipment, software and IT support staff operated by ASP's such as EIS. To this market, software is provided as a service rather than a capital asset owned and operated by the user. Leading research organizations such as
Forrester have estimated that this business model will grow from its current market capacity of less than $1 Billion to greater than $13 Billion by the year 2003. EIS hosts and operates
LeagueGM form Minor Sports Associations such as, Cumberland Minor
Hockey Associations, Cumberland United-Unis Soccer Association and we are building features to support other sports. We currently host several ISD Student-developed Oracle website applications as prospective revenue-generators. These sites are used for EIS capability demonstrations. EIS also hosts several sites that do not involve Oracle technology using Microsoft
FrontPage and MS Internet Information Server.

Training
Since 1991, Oracle Corporation has utilized EIS staff as contract instructors and continues to do so. EIS operates three classrooms for full and part-time Oracle-Certified career training. EIS delivers our own Oracle curriculum on customer sites where demand and software licensing requirements are met.
Customers include Health Canada, the US National Guard, Deltek
Systems Virginia, and e-Smart Direct Services in Toronto. EIS is presently on contract to deliver EIS Curriculum at Worcester
Polytechnic Institute in Boston, MA, USA.
