Independent Research Firm considers Amentra's Mentoring Model as an Industry Best Practice Amentra's Model — Make Skills Transfer and Process Change Part of Success

Richmond, VA April 22, 2004 -– Amentra, Inc., a business and technology consulting firm specializing in delivering improved business results through best in class business analysis, process, and enterprise technology solutions, has announced today that Forrester Research, an industry-leading technology research firm, has recognized Amentra's mentoring model as an industry best practice.

According to the April 14, 2004 Forrester report, "Modernizing Legacy Programmer Skills", CIOs often turn to external consultants to introduce leading-edge technology into their IT environments. While this practice expedites getting the new technology in the door, it addresses only one aspect of three (people, process, technology). Ignoring the impact to people and process creates an entirely new set of problems. In many respects, writing source code is the easiest part of the project — ensuring that the system fully integrates to the processes within the environment, that people can support and maintain it, and that operators can successfully run and service it are the most difficult aspects and the ones most frequently overlooked. Amentra offers a new spin on this problem — one worthy of consideration by companies seeking to upgrade not only their legacy systems but also the skills of their staff as an integral part of success rather than an afterthought.

"The recognition and recommendation by an industry leader research firm such as Forrester is a further validation of Amentra's business model and especially one of our core service offerings. We are very proud of the value that we provide to our customers and the marketplace in general as a strategic business and technology partner. We continue to forge our standing as a market leader in assisting customers to transform their business, people, process, and technology by utilizing our signature mentoring approach and other outsourced services.", said Matt Ernst, Managing Partner and CEO of Amentra.
