Initial Release Features Seven Integrated Modules That Also Interface With
the Company's Core Applications for CPAs

ATLANTA, February 7 -- Prentice Hall Professional Software has begun
shipping version 1.01 of Business Ties, the company's new suite of
integrated accounting products. The complete system was released during
the week of January 17. This initial release includes the following
modules: General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Payroll,
Order Entry, Inventory Control, and Job Cost.

"Response to Business Ties and The Business Ties Elite Program has been
extremely positive from accountants and business users alike," said
Michael Bright, CPA, product manager for Business Ties.

As announced with the introduction of Business Ties last November, the
integration between Business Ties and Prentice Hall's core product lines
for tax preparation, trial balance workpapers, and client write-up offers
a unique opportunity for increased efficiency in the transfer of data to
accountants from their clients.

The suggested retail price for Business Ties is $395 per module. (Special
bundle pricing is available in which users can purchase any three modules
for $895.) The purchase price of the Business Ties software includes 12
months of toll-free technical support and all updates to the system.
Business Ties also comes with a full 30-day money-back guarantee. A 90-day
evaluation copy is also available to accountants and their clients for $15
per module.

In addition, Prentice Hall's new Business Ties Elite Program provides a
streamlined method for accountants to pass through the Business Ties
software to their clients at a greatly reduced price.
