PALM HARBOR, FLORIDA, USA (November 18, 2004) - M. Bryce & Associates
(MBA) is pleased to announce the public availability of their "PRIDE"
Methodologies for Information Resource Management (IRM). "PRIDE"
includes defined methodologies for:

* Enterprise Engineering Methodology (EEM) to model a business
logically and physically and develop an Enterprise Information
Strategy (EIS).

* Information Systems Engineering Methodology (ISEM) to design, develop,
and test enterprise-wide systems.

* Data Base Engineering Methodology (DBEM) to develop logical and
physical data models, both at the application and enterprise
levels.

Also included is a Project Management system describing how
to plan, estimate, schedule, report and control projects.

These are the same universally applicable methodologies commercially
marketed by MBA around the world and are based on engineering/
manufacturing principles. Each methodology is structured into a set
of phases and activities with defined deliverables and review points.

According to MBA Managing Director, Tim Bryce, "PRIDE was
the first commercially available methodology in the industry
and has remained a viable approach for developing systems
and data bases for a number of years. It has stood the test
of time and it is now our intent to put it into the public domain
in order to make it an industry standard."

"PRIDE" is available as an Internet download consisting of a
set of HTML and JPG files suitable for use with any web browser
(or can be viewed directly on-line at):

http://www.phmainstreet.com/mba/pride/pride.htm

The files contain tutorials defining the methodologies, complete
with examples, and includes supplemental narratives describing the
infrastructure and support mechanisms to make "PRIDE" work. The
supplemental narratives describe such things as developing an
IRM Repository (a Dictionary/Directory system for cataloging and
cross-referencing information resources), Quality Assurance,
documenting current systems, etc. A comprehensive glossary of
terms is also available along with an index to navigate throughout
the extensive documentation.

MBA has formally explained and defined its concepts and terminology
for the development of information resources. The company sees the
benefits to the industry as two-fold; First, it will bring
standardization to the development process for companies, and;
Second, this will be an opportunity for colleges and universities
to put "PRIDE" to work in the classroom as a means to groom analysts
and developers for the years ahead.

MBA will continue to offer training and consulting services
in the support of "PRIDE."
