Enterprise Application Viewer Installed at City Government
ATERAS has announced the installation of the Enterprise Application Viewer (eav) at a City Government. When critical team members leave an organization or retire, the knowledge about specific applications is lost, making it difficult to maintain and enhance the applications. With the Enterprise Application Viewer, business and technical team members can view, access and understand even the most complex applications and are provided with up-to-date documentation.
The Enterprise Application Viewer allows any IT organization the ability to increase productivity and understanding of existing applications without regard to the knowledge level of the technical team. Problem resolution and enhancement design are greatly simplified when the developer can drill into program code, cross reference fields, view program interfaces, and follow program logic instantly using an interactive diagram. eav provides both business and technical teams insight into application flow, cross-program and intra-program flow, and even field-level usage across the enterprise.
Mandatory compliance changes and enhancements to applications are now planned more easily, reducing the risk and defining the impact across the enterprise. Business and technical analysts have full visibility into complex applications, and can predict the impact of specific changes across the environment. With eav, Business Rules are easily identified, isolated and extracted for use in legacy modernization, SOA enablement, and other re-design and re-engineering projects. Entire teams can become knowledgeable about any set of applications, eliminating the risk associated with a reduced or retiring technical staff.
Enterprise Application Viewer makes achieving Sarbanes-Oxley compliance for documentation on existing applications easy and automatic. eav automatically updates its documentation repository every time that a production program changes. The unique documentation feature allows an organization to fully document a program and its relationship to all other program artifacts. With eav's graphical workbenches, documentation and application research is completely interactive.
The Enterprise Application Viewer product is an important component of the DB-Shuttle automated solutions strategy for legacy migration and modernization, which includes: comprehensive IT assessments, database and data migrations, application migrations, and enterprise field change. The flexible ATERAS automated product line powered by DB-Shuttle simplifies the IT solutions for all enterprises.
"Enterprise Application Viewer enhances our automated technology solutions for legacy modernization to global enterprises and our partnerships with systems integrators. IT organizations and Systems Integrators who maintain applications use eav to increase developer productivity while solving the business and technical problems of up-to-date documentation and SOX compliancy," states Scott Miller, CEO President ATERAS.

Tejas Deregisters Its Stock
Tejas Incorporated (BULLETIN BOARD: TEJS) announced today that it intends to voluntarily deregister its common stock on or about May 30, 2008. On or about that date, Tejas will file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to voluntarily deregister its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
Upon the filing of the Form 15, Tejas's obligation to file certain reports with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K, will immediately be suspended. Tejas expects that the deregistration of its common stock will become effective 90 days after the date the Form 15 is filed with the SEC. As a result of the filing of the Form 15, Tejas expects that its shares will no longer be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Tejas anticipates that its common stock may be traded on the Pink Sheets after it deregisters. However, Tejas can give no assurances that its common stock will be traded on the Pink Sheets or, if it is traded on the Pink Sheets, whether an active trading market will develop for its common stock.
Kurt Rechner, Tejas's President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, "After assessing the advantages and disadvantages of remaining a registered company, our Board of Directors unanimously concluded that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to deregister its common stock. The substantial out-of-pocket costs, as well as the significant demands on management's time and focus, necessary to comply with SEC reporting, including the additional costs that would be required in order to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, outweigh the benefits the Company receives from maintaining its registered status. We believe that deregistering will allow us to reduce current expenses, avoid substantial future costs, and free our management team to focus more of its time and resources on operating the Company and enhancing stockholder value."
Tejas currently expects that it will continue to provide its stockholders with periodic financial and operational information. The financial statements contained in these updates may be unaudited and will not have the detail required of a company that files reports with the SEC.

ISC-Squared Conference 2009
(ISC)2(R) ("ISC-squared"), a non-profit provider of educating and certifying information security professionals throughout their careers, today announced its fourth annual 2008 SecureAmericas information security conference scheduled for May 21-22 at the Sheraton Premiere at Tysons Corner in Vienna, Va. The two-day conference agenda will include simultaneous tracks on 1) government security and 2) professional development and enterprise management and will feature speakers recognized as those standing on the forefront of the industry's "hot button" issues.
The event will include a "town-hall" meeting keynote featuring members of the Commission on Cyber Security for the 44th president -- Amit Yoran, chairman and CEO of NetWitness Corp., Jerry Dixon, former director of the National Cyber Security Division at U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Bruce McConnell, president of McConnell International and Government Futures. Participants will outline some of the Commission's primary security agenda items to address with the next president of the United States when he or she takes office. The session moderator, Lynn McNulty, CISSP, director of government affairs at (ISC)2, will then open up the discussion to the audience, who will have a chance to bring up major security issues they feel the Commission should address with the next president.
Amit Yoran will discuss the future of the government's information assurance program in a separate session entitled, "Through the Looking Glass: Looking at the Future of the U.S. Government's Cybersecurity Strategy." During this session, Mr. Yoran will further define how networks and systems should be securely validated in today's threat environment and what kinds of information on attacks should be shared across agencies.
Also featured on the agenda is keynote speaker Mischel Kwon, deputy director for IT Security Staff (ITSS), acting deputy director of IT security and chief security technologist, U.S. Department of Justice, who will be discussing how to architect and secure systems that support an IT-dependent generation in a session entitled, "Defending the Network Against You: The Key to Stronger Security."
