establish the prices (including the Base Prices) charges, terms and conditions
governing the sale of the Designated Products to the representative, but agrees
to reasonably consider the advice of Representative regarding such prices,
charges, terms and conditions. Except as otherwise expressly agreed by both

forth on SCHEDULE F, as such Shedule may be revised by IBSS from time to time
(to increase, but not decrease commissions) upon fifteen (15) days prior written
notice to Representative. Commissions shall be based on the amounts collected by

total Net Paid Invoices. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Net Paid Invoice"
shall equal the gross amount of a paid invoice, less discounts, allowances and
returns. Commissions on invoices shall be paid to Representative by the tenth
(10th) day of the month immediately following the month in which payment on such
invoices is received by IBSS.

In addition, Company shall pay to Representative (but only out of Company's
"Excess Cash") a non-refundable advance of $10,000 per month ("Draw Payments")
(to be applied against future commissions due and payable to Representative); in
no event shall these monthly payments exceed the aggregate amount of
$175,000.00.

In consideration of Representative's pioneering efforts to date to secure new
marketing channels for the Company's products, the Company agrees that on the
earlier of the fifth (5th) annual anniversary of the date of this Agreement or a
"Change In Control" of the Company, the Company shall pay to Representative an
amount equal to $175,000 (less the amount of Draw Payments actually paid to
Representative) (the "Signing Bonus").

12.      FORM OF PAYMENT. Representative shall have the right to elect the form
of payment of any commission owed to Representative hereunder. The form of
payment may be (i) in cash or (ii) in the grant of IBSS common stock purchase
options or restricted stock grants (collectively, an "Equity Payment"). In the
event Representative elects to receive all or any

Sales Representative and Marketing Agreement

<PAGE>

portion of commissions owed to Representative hereunder in the form of an Equity
Payment, Representative acknowledges and agrees that (a) the issuance by IBSS of
such Equity Payment shall be subject to IBSS and Representative being able to
satisfy all applicable federal and state securities laws with respect to such
issuance, and (b) in determining the amount of the Equity Payment, the value of
such Equity Payment shall in all events be determined with reference to the
average daily closing price of the IBSS common stock over the ten (10) trading
days prior to the event upon which such payment obligation to Representative
arose under the Agreement.

13.      LIMITED LICENSE. IBSS hereby grants to Representative a nonexclusive
right to the use of the Designated Product that is a Software Product to the
extent (and only to the extent) necessary to properly demonstrate and market
such Designated Product to a prospective IBSS customer during the Term and in
the Territory. IBSS further agrees to provide the representative with two (2)
copies complete with documentation of all products that the representative is
authorized to sell for evaluation and demonstration purposes. Upon termination
of Representative's Appointment, this license shall immediately terminate except
to the extent expressly provided in clause (b) below, and Representative shall:

         (a) Promptly cease the marketing, promoting or solicitation of orders
         for, any of the Designated Products;

         (b) Promptly cease use of all Software Products;

         (c) Promptly return or destroy all copies of all Software Products and
         all Documentation; and

         (d) Certify in writing to IBSS within thirty (30) days after
         termination of Representative's Appointment that Representative has
         fulfilled its obligations under this Section.

14.      TERM AND TERMINATION. Unless sooner terminated in acccordance with the
terms hereof, the term of this Agreement shall commence as of the Effective Date
and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of ten (10) years:
provided, however, that at the expiration of the initial and each renewal term
hereof, this Agreement shall be renewed for successive additional periods of two
(2) years unless either Party shall have delivered to the other Party notice of
its intention not to renew at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of
the then current term hereof. Representative's Appointment may be terminated as
follows:

         (a) IBSS may terminate Representative's Appointment immediately upon
         written notice to Representative if Representative has breached any
         term or provision of this Agreement; provided, however, where IBSS
         determines that such breach is curable, Representative shall have
         thirty (30) days following notice from IBSS to cure such breach.

In respect of the period from and after termination of Representative's
Appointment, Representative shall have no further rights as an IBSS
Representative. Following termination of Representative's Appointment, all other
rights and duties of the Parties under this Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but by way of
example, from and after the date of termination of Representative's Appointment
(i) Representative shall no longer have the right to receive, and IBSS shall no
longer have the

obligation to provide to Representative, promotional materials regarding the
Designated Products, and (ii) Representative's duties in respect of confidential
and/or proprietary information of IBSS shall continue indefinitely. The
termination of Representative's Appointment shall not constitute a waiver by
either Party of any other rights or remedies which it may have in respect of the
other Party at the date of such termination, nor shall it constitute a
termination of any other contractual arrangement between the Parties.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Representative shall be entitled to receive the
Signing Bonus even if this Agreement is terminated for whatever reason.

15.      TRADEMARKS AND RELATED MATTERS. During the Term, IBSS hereby authorizes
Representative to use the Trademarks subject to and in accordance with each of
the following:

         (a) Representative may refer to itself as an "Authorized Independent
         IBSS Representative" of (and only of) the Designated Products in the
         marketing and promotional materials circulated by or on behalf of
         Representative to prospective IBSS customers.

         (b) Representative shall use the Trademarks solely in connection with
         the marketing and promotion of the Designated Products to prospective
         IBSS customers pursuant to this Agreement and for no other purpose
         whatsoever.

         (c) Representative shall refrain from using any Trademark in, or as a
         part of, Representative's name or tradename.

         (d) Representative shall provide to IBSS for prior review and written
         approval all promotional, advertising and other materials using or
         displaying the Trademarks or any trademark or trade name of IBSS, or of
         third parties used in connection with IBSS Products, or referring to
         Representative as an "Authorized Independent IBSS Representative",
         unless such materials and activity are within written guidelines
         promulgated by IBSS, from time to time. Representative agrees to change
         or correct, at Representative's expense, any such material and to
         refrain from any activity which IBSS, in its sole judgment, determines
         to be inaccurate, misleading, objectionable, or a misuse of the
         Trademarks. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and IBSS
         will give approval or denial of requests within two (2) weeks.

         (e) All rights to use the Trademarks shall terminate at the end of this
         Agreement. Upon such termination, Representative shall immediately
         cease all use of the Trademarks and shall destroy any and all written
         or graphic material in Representative's possession or control bearing
         any Trademark.

         (f) Representative recognizes IBSS' ownership and title to the
         Trademarks and the goodwill associated therewith, and agrees that any
         goodwill which accrues because of Representative's use of the
         Trademarks shall vest in and become the property of IBSS.
         Representative further agrees not to contest or take any action to
         contest the Trademarks or any other trademark, servicemark or trade
         name of IBSS, or to sue, employ or attempt to register any trademark,
         service mark or trade name which is confusingly similar to the
         Trademarks or any other trademark, service mark or trade names of IBSS.

16.      CONFIDENTIALITY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. Except as otherwise provided in
this Section, information exchanged between the Parties shall not be considered
confidential unless both Parties agree otherwise in writing. Representative and
IBSS shall keep confidential all terms, conditions or other provisions of this
Agreement. Software Product direction, content, good-will, technical issues and
market approach shall always be considered confidential unless otherwise agreed
to in writing by the Parties hereto. Representative acknowledges and agrees as
follows:

         (a) Representative acknowledges and agrees that it is not authorized to
         sell, lease, license, assign or otherwise transfer to any customer or
         other Person any right, title or interest in or to any Software Product
         except that, during the Term, Representative is authorized to sell
         Customer Licenses with respect to Software Products that are Designated
         Products, subject to and in accordance with the other terms and
         conditions of this Agreement.

         (b) IBSS shall possess and retain title in and to each item of
         intellectual property (including without limitation patent, copyright,
         trademark, service mark, and similar rights) embodied in (i) all
         software code and documentation, (ii) all manuals or user information,
         (iii) the design and format of the input and output screens, graphical
         user interface, and printable forms, reports and other hard copy output
         incorporated in or generated by the IBSS Product, and (iv) all
         additions, enhancements, revisions, updates or other modifications to
         the IBSS Product or any part thereof, regardless of any fee or charge
         paid by Representative to IBSS in respect of the IBSS Product or the
         design, creation or use thereof. IBSS' rights in and to its
         intellectual property shall not be limited, diminished or circumscribed
         in any way because of any fee or charge paid or payable to IBSS by
         Representative pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise

         (c) Representative shall not cause or permit removal or alteration in
         any way of any notice, legend or symbol denoting any copyright,
         trademark, patent or other proprietary right or interest of the
         intellectual property owner appearing on any input or output screen or
         hard copy output incorporated in or generated by the IBSS Product, or
         any documentation, manuals, brochures, or other written or printed
         materials of any kind related to the IBSS Product.

         (d) Each item of intellectual property embodied in an IBSS Product
         constitutes valuable proprietary information and trade secrets of IBSS.
         Representative shall not disclose (nor permit any Representative
         employee, independent contractor, agent, or other person under its
         authority or control, to disclose) to any Person, or allow any Person
         access to, any such proprietary information or trade secrets in whole
         or in part; provided, however, use of the IBSS Product in accordance
         with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be permitted by
         employees of Representative in the ordinary course and scope of their
         employment by Representative.

         (e) Representative shall not cause or permit any IBSS Product to be
         reverse engineered, decompiled, or disassembled in whole or in part.
         Representative shall not cause or permit the programs, documentation,
         or other information related to any IBSS Product to be copied or
         reproduced in any form or medium, in whole or in part. Representative
         shall take such actions to preserve and protect IBSS' proprietary
         rights

Integrated Business Systems and Services, Inc.

<PAGE>

         and interest of confidentiality in and with respect to the IBSS
         Products that are, at a minimum, commensurate with those actions taken
         by Representative to preserve and protect its most valuable trade
         secrets or other proprietary or confidential information.

         (f) Representative's confidentiality obligations hereunder do not apply
         to any information which (i) was lawfully and rightfully in
         Representative's possession at the time of disclosure and was not
         acquired directly or indirectly from IBSS, (ii) was lawfully and
         rightfully acquired by Representative from others who acquired it by
         proper means and had no confidentiality obligation to IBSS with respect
         to same, or (iii) is now, or hereafter becomes, through no fault of
         Representative, part of the public domain by publication or otherwise.

         (g) Representative has no right to use any Software Product or any part
         thereof except as specifically granted under the limited license
         referred to in the preceding Section of this Agreement.

         (h) Neither Party shall infringe upon or otherwise make use of any
         trademark, service mark, trade name, or similar right or interest of
         the other Party.

17.      INDEMNIFICATION. Representative agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless IBSS, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives
from and against any and all claims, liabilities, or demands (including the
costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees on account thereof) which may be
made against any such indemnitees which arise out of, or are related to, any of
the following:

         (a) Any alleged representation, warranty, action or statement made by
         Representative that Representative is acting for, or on behalf of,
         IBSS.

         (b) Any alleged representation, warranty, statement and/or covenant
         made by Representative to any Person regarding any IBSS Product or IBSS
         Service unless IBSS approves in writing such representation, warranty,
         statement and/or covenant.

         (c) Any alleged negligent or other wrongful act or omission of
         Representative.

         (d) Any alleged changes to any IBSS Product or Documentation by
         Representative not having the prior written approval of IBSS.

18.      AUDIT. Representative shall maintain complete and accurate accounting
records, in accordance with sound accounting practices, as to all revenues
generated (whether received or receivable) in respect of Designated Products.
Such records shall be retained for a period of at least five (5) years after the
year to which they pertain. IBSS shall have the right, at its own expense, to
audit, inspect and copy all such records at any time during normal business
hours upon request.

19.      RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. The Parties agree that Representative is
acting solely as an independent contractor and not as an employee under this
Agreement, for all purposes, including payment of any withholding tax and all
other federal, state and local taxes. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to make either Party a partner, joint venturer or employee

Integrated Business Systems and Services, Inc.
Sales Representative and Marketing Agreement
Page 12

<PAGE>

of the other Party, and no employee of either Party shall be deemed to be the
employee of the other Party solely as a consequence of this Agreement. IBSS
assumes no liability or responsibility for obligations of Representative in
respect of any other Person. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to
make IBSS responsible for complying with any disclosure, reporting or other
requirement of Representative's business or operations. Neither Party shall have
any right whatsoever to incur any obligations or liabilities on behalf of or
binding upon the other Party. All rights and powers not expressly granted to
Representative are expressly reserved to IBSS.

20.      NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands, or other communications
directed to a Party shall be in writing, and shall be (i) personally delivered
or (ii) sent by certified (return receipt requested) or registered mail, postage
pre-paid, to such Party's address specified opposite such Party's signature
below, or to such other address as such Party may hereafter specify in a notice
to the other Party or (iii) if given by electronic means by forwarding to the
Party's fax number.

21.      CONSTRUCTION. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation
and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent
or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted
jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise
favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the
provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or
foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The
word "including" shall mean "including without limitation". In this Agreement
whenever the context so requires, a word's gender shall be deemed to include the
neuter, feminine and masculine, and a word's number shall be deemed to include
the singular and the plural. The paragraph and section headings contained in
this Agreement are included for convenience only and shall not affect in any way
the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

22.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement
between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes
and replaces any and all prior agreements, arrangements or other commitments
between the Parties, whether oral or written, in respect of the subject matter
hereof, excluding any nondisclosure agreement executed prior to the date hereof
between the Parties in contemplation of the subject matter hereof.

23.      SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The rights, benefits and other interests of
Representative under this Agreement are personal and may not be assigned,
transferred, shared or divided in any manner by Representative, whether
voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of IBSS.
Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure
to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, representatives,
successors and permitted assigns.

24.      NO WAIVERS. The failure of either Party hereto to insist upon strict
performance of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any rights or remedies of such Party in respect of any
other provision hereof or in respect of any subsequent breach or default under
such term or condition.

25.      AMENDMENTS. This Agreement may be amended only by a document duly
executed by both Parties.

26.      SCHEDULES. All Schedules attached to and referred to in this Agreement
are an integral part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement
by this reference.

27.      COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

28.      CUSTOM. All parties to this Agreement shall have the right at all times
to enforce the provisions contained in this Agreement, and in all other
agreements and documents required or provided for herein, in strict accordance
with the terms thereof, notwithstanding any custom or practice in the area or
any conduct or continuing conduct on the part of any party hereto to the
contrary unless expressly agreed to in writing. The failure of any party hereto,
at any time or from time to time, to enforce its rights under any provision
herein, strictly in accordance with the same, shall not be construed as varying
the term or provision thereof, in any way or manner, contrary to the specific
provisions of this Agreement or be construed as modifying or waiving such
provision.

29.      REFORMATION/SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is
declared invalid by any tribunal, then such provision shall be deemed
automatically modified to the minimum extent necessary to conform to the
applicable requirements for validity and, as so adjusted, shall be deemed a
provision of this Agreement as though originally included herein. In the event
that the provision invalidated is of such a nature that it cannot be so
modified, the provision shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement as though
such provision had never been included herein. In either case, the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

30.      COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Representative shall not market, promote, solicit
orders for, sell, lease or otherwise deal with any Designated Product pursuant
to this Agreement except in strict compliance with all applicable laws and
regulations of all relevant jurisdictions, including without limitation all
export and re-export laws, rules, regulations, restrictions and controls
applicable to any Designated Product, and all federal and state anti-trust and
trade practices laws.

31.      FORCE MAJEURE. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for its
failure to perform any of its obligations (exclusive of payment obligations)
hereunder during any period in which such performance is delayed by
circumstances beyond its reasonable control, provided that the Party
experiencing such delay promptly notifies the other Party of the delay.

32.      SURVIVAL. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
neither the expiration of the Term nor the termination of any other provision of
this Agreement shall terminate or otherwise affect the remaining provisions of
this Agreement, each of which shall survive indefinitely.

33.      CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
any consent or approval requested of a Party pursuant to this Agreement may be
given or withheld by such Party for any or no reason whatsoever in such Party's
sole discretion.

34.      BEST ENDEAVORS TO SETTLE DISPUTES. In the event of any dispute, claim,
question or difference relating to this Agreement, or the validity or
termination of this Agreement (other than in respect of disputes as to any
matter for which other settlement procedures are expressly provided for in this
Agreement, which disputes shall be resolved in accordance with such procedures)
the parties involved in the dispute, claim, question or difference shall use
their best endeavors to settle such dispute, claim question or difference. To
this effect, they shall consult and negotiate with each other, in good faith and
understanding of their mutual interests, to reach a just and equitable solution
satisfactory to such parties.

35.      ARBITRATION. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
all claims, controversies or disputes arising out of or related to this
Agreement, or any breach thereof, shall be resolved by binding arbitration in
Columbia, South Carolina unless the parties mutually agree, in writing, upon a
different location, as provided herein and otherwise in accordance with the
Commercial Arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. Where the
amount in controversy is less than $100,000, the dispute shall be submitted to a
single arbitrator. Otherwise the dispute shall be submitted to a panel of three
arbitrators. The arbitrator(s) shall strictly enforce all provisions of this
Agreement except to the extent applicable law requires otherwise. The
arbitrator(s) shall have no authority to grant either Party punitive, exemplary,
consequential or other special damages of any kind. Judgment upon the award of
the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the duty to arbitrate disputes pursuant to this paragraph,
either Party may (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement) seek
interlocutory relief from the federal district court in (or closest to)
Columbia, South Carolina in order to enforce or otherwise protect its rights
under the provisions of this Agreement related to confidentiality, proprietary
rights to intellectual property, and the duty to arbitrate.

36.      ATTORNEYS FEES. In any action, proceeding, or arbitration in respect of
this Agreement, the court or the arbitration panel, as applicable (the
"tribunal"), shall award to the prevailing Party all of such Party's costs
related to the controversy (including without limitation attorneys' fees and
out-of-pocket expenses). Where each Party prevails in part, the tribunal shall
award to each Party that part of its costs that the tribunal deems allocable to
those issues as to which such Party prevailed.

37.      JURISDICTION AND VENUE. Except as otherwise contemplated in the Section
of this Agreement setting forth the directive of arbitration, the Parties agree
that any action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement shall
be instituted only in the federal district court in Richland County, South
Carolina. Each Party consents and submits to the jurisdiction of such court and
agrees that venue therein shall be proper and convenient. In any such action or
proceeding in such court, each Party waives any right to raise any objection
based upon improper venue, lack of jurisdiction, or inconvenient forum. In
connection with any such action or proceeding, each Party consents to personal
jurisdiction of such court and agrees service of process may be effected by
United States mail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree to resort
to such an action or proceeding only (i) if the arbitration

Integrated Business Systems and Services, Inc.
Sales Representative and Marketing Agreement
Page 15

<PAGE>

provisions of this Agreement are held to be invalid or unavailable, (ii) to
enforce an arbitration award pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) as otherwise
expressly permitted by this Agreement.

38.      LIMITATION OF ACTIONS. Except as set forth below, neither Party shall
bring any action or institute any proceeding related, directly or indirectly, to
this Agreement more than two (2) years after the Party initiating the action or
proceeding knew (or reasonably should have known) of the essential facts giving
rise to the underlying cause of action.

39.      GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of South Carolina.

40.      EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. Each Party has caused this Agreement to be duly
executed and delivered as of the 16th day of September, 2003.

Letter of Understanding between the Scott Group ("Scott Group") and Integrated
Business Systems & Services, Inc. ("IBSS") dated October 2, 2003.

Following is the scope of work and the compensation that the Scott Group and
IBSS agree to as the terms for their mutual work together.

                           STATEMENT OF WORK FOR IBSS

                  FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING

OVERVIEW

It has taken millions of dollars and many years to envision and build the next
major software breakthrough in the world -- IBSS's Synapse. The solution is
ready for the market. The next phase of work is to greatly increase Company
visibility, fiscal performance, share price, and trading volume by rapidly:

     -    augmenting management expertise

     -    bringing in new money to relieve debt and fund growth while increasing
          market valuation

     -    developing a focused, common-sense plan to drive perceptional changes
          both internally and externally

     -    generating highly-positive company and product visibility and
          perception with influencers and decision-makers in the banking and
          investment communities

     -    developing predictable, revenue-generating activities to improve
          credibility and valuation

     -    forge strategic relationships to generate sales and make Synapse the
          solution of choice and ultimately, a de facto standard

To accomplish this, a number of things should happen:

     -    current investor group needs to renegotiate the terms of their note;
          there will be no outside interest in the public aspects of this
          company as long as a "death spiral" exists

     -    development of the software development kit must be completed

     -    the product should be marketed and/or licensed with/to a number of
          referenceable and credible strategic-partners

<PAGE>

     -    the work of deploying the solution to referenceable customers must be
          accelerated

     -    clearer, simpler and more reliable messages must be created and
          communicated to the marketplace with particular attention paid to the
          banking and investment communities; communications should be
          supplemented through a variety of additional activities, including the
          services of a quality IR/PR firm

THE SCOTT GROUP

The Group proposes to

     1.   Establish, manage and facilitate the needed interest and attention
          from the banking and investment communities by establishing key
          strategic relationships and opportunities and ensuring the continuous
          flow of contact and information to the proper channels.

     2.   Supplement these activities by bringing to bear its expertise in
          creating strategic alliances, business customers and marketing
          communications to ensure IBSS and Synapse success in bringing to the
          computing industry the transformation they were created to deliver.

Toward that end, in addition to working within the banking, investment and other
relative communities to generate and sustain awareness for creating greater
liquidity, the Scott Group will provide services that will primarily consist of
working with the IBSS management team, and as appropriate it's board, to:

     -    Accelerate development of strategic and business partnerships.

     -    Assist in refining, and where necessary, developing image and
          positioning documents, events and presentations that will promote an
          awareness and adoption of IBSS solutions.

     -    Assist in developing a comprehensive plan for operations and as
          needed, technical support of customers and partners.

PROJECT SCOPE AND OBJECTIVE

     -    Establish the necessary activities and relationships for IBSS to be
          recognized by the investment and banking communities as a properly
          financed, liquid, and industry-valued technology solution company.

     -    Assist IBSS management in the identification and recruitment of
          Business and Strategic Partners.

     -    As needed, assist IBSS management in renegotiating any key agreements,
          contracts and/or situations as needed.

<PAGE>

          execute marketing materials and other communication vehicles.

PROJECT ASSUMPTIONS

     -    Product is being developed to production quality and will be wrapped
          sufficiently for System Integrators, partners, customers, and others
          to develop and deploy applications.

     -    IBSS is currently able to install and implement technology and
          solution in customer sites.

     -    Demand will exist within Corporate IT, System Integrators and
          Independent Software Vendors for this type of product.

     -    Partner/customer and legal agreement documentation exists.

     -    Preliminary product pricing and discount schedules for
          partners/customers exist.

     -    Scott Group has a meaningful set of personal contacts in the banking,
          investment, technology, and service industries to be targeted and the
          experience needed for rapid implementation.

          both IBBS and Synapse.

          the business, financial, and academic communities. The perceived and

     -    Get the Company and product line the proper scope of visibility needed
          for success in the current financial environment. The outside world
