provides rapid implementation and solution that mirrors Newton, MA – August 23, 2000 – Account4.com, a leader in professional services automation, announces an agreement with Kmart Corp., the nation's second-largest discount retailer, to provide Account4® software to increase the utilization, productivity and effectiveness of the retailer's IT workforce. Account4 was chosen based on its flexibility, scalability, and ease of use. "Due to the demands of the very competitive retail industry, our IT associates commonly multi-task on many projects," said Steven Hunter, Division Vice President, Financial and Administrative Systems at Kmart. "As an out-of-the-box solution, Account4 allows us the flexibility to track and report all project costs real-time, which enables us to be proactive instead of reactive in controlling costs." Account4's 100% thin-client architecture means that no software needs to be installed on client machines, and deployment to all Kmart users is possible within 30 days. Since the Web-based Account4 contains no Java or Active X code, the HTML interface can be easily modified to fit Kmart's existing business model. In addition, Account4 will provide Kmart's project managers the ability to view up-to-the-minute project status and project costs. "Kmart's selection of Account4 reflects a growing acceptance by large organizations that thin-client Internet-based technology enables IT departments to fulfill organizational needs more quickly and efficiently", stated Dick Artus, VP of Marketing at Account4.com. "We are pleased to welcome Kmart to our growing client list." About
