23 May 2003
Atlanta, Georgia
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

3C Software, developers of the enterprise cost system Impact:ECS, announced a software licensing and consulting agreement with Domtar Inc. The engagement’s focus, prompted by Domtar’s 2001 acquisition of four Georgia Pacific mills, is to implement a common cost management solution for its US operations and build the basis for a common solution for all operations worldwide. Domtar selected 3C Software and Impact:ECS because of the long term and successful relationship that the companies have shared at three existing Domtar mills.

Domtar will improve its business decisions capabilities through better accuracy, timeliness and detail by integrating Impact:ECS with its current enterprise and mill systems including SAP, OptiVISION, and PI. Impact:ECS will closely integrate with SAP, including its Business Warehouse tool for reports and analysis, allowing Domtar to leverage the detailed cost information provided by Impact:ECS with its current system architecture.

3C Software’s professional services team is also working in step with Domtar to enhance the organization’s costing methodologies. The consultants’ industry and accounting knowledge enables them to both assist in developing a common costing methodology and grant Domtar the ability to make better operative, tactical and strategic business decisions through reliable cost information.
