Advances to Finalist Round in 1993 Computerworld Object Application Awards Program PHILADELPHIA, May 19, 1993 -- Anderson Financial Systems Inc. (AFS), a Philadelphia-based vendor of Wall Street trading applications, has been named a finalist in the Object Management Group's "1993 Computerworld Object Application Awards Contest." The contest, co-sponsored by Computerworld magazine and the Object Management Group, is designed to salute organizations and developers who have successfully implemented object technology in their operations. AFS submitted a case study of its afs:TRADE(tm) Trading Management System, a NEXTSTEP-based custom application designed for the First National Bank of Chicago to manage commercial paper trading and underwriting operations. The system provides on-line, real-time access to information needed by traders and salespeople throughout the day. The afs:TRADE application was entered in the category "best application utilizing reusable components leveraged from or for use in other projects." "This is a positive statement about the possibilities of 'ObjectWare'," said Gregory H. Anderson, president of AFS. "Our company has experienced all of the benefits claimed for object-oriented programming: dramatically fewer lines of code, high rates of code reuse, rational source code organization, reduced maintenance, and faster training. After ten years of struggling with traditional programming methods, we have discovered that there is a better way to build custom applications." Grand prize winners in five categories will be announced at a special ObjectWorld Expo awards banquet on June 16 at the Moscone Center in San Franscisco. Steve Jobs, CEO and Chairman of NeXT Computer, will be the master of ceremonies. Mr. Anderson will also participate in a panel discussion about "Economic Benefits of Object Technology Programming" on June 15, where he will highlight the benefits of AFS's object-oriented development experience. -30-
