Daffron Announces Integration X Platform at NRECA TechAdvantage

San Diego, California – (February 25, 2005) NRECA TechAdvantage Conference & Expo. Daffron & Associates Inc. of Bowling Green, MO announces a new enterprise integration solution.

The utility industry has identified improved customer service, increased employee productivity and reduced operating expenses as their top priorities and enterprise integration as one of the keys to achieving these objectives.

In response, Daffron has packaged its functionally robust and tightly integrated suites of utility focused software for Customer Information, Financials, Materials, e-Business and Digital Staking with its new iXp ToolBox for integrating best-in-class third party applications, to create a new strategic business solution called Integration X Platform or iXp.

"In addition to our core business of developing utility focused software, we want to help our customers achieve a more fully integrated operating environment by providing tools that enable our products to integrate with non Daffron applications," says Carl Daffron, CEO of Daffron & Associates, Inc.

"Over the past several years, we have integrated our products with a host of third party vendors via native database access and middleware to facilitate data exchange. This expertise and technology is what forms the foundation for iXp. We plan to continually enhance the iXp ToolBox, including a real-time data exchange application currently under development," adds Daffron.

At the end of the day, an integrated enterprise platform of Daffron products and third party technology helps customers achieve their most important business objectives. That is what Daffron and iXp are all about!
