Sonae's Retail Division Implements Business Assurance RAID From WeDo Technologies

LISBON, Portugal, January 11 - WeDo Technologies, world leader in Business Assurance,
announces that the retail division of Sonae has chosen WeDo Technologies'
Business Assurance RAID software, to handle internal quality control
processes and supplier's cost control.

The solution will import data from various platforms to a
central repository, applying rules to identify errors or inconsistencies
which will trigger actions and alarms and provide a range of analysis and
reports.

"In our business, timely supply of information is essential, so it is
very important to have a tool to pre-emptively detect and correct any
anomalies that may arise. Business Assurance RAID will help us to reduce data
transfer problems, control system configuration, and to optimize internal
processes such as the consolidation of information for management. No less
important is the fact that WeDo Technologies' solution will improve the
control of transactions and provide quality assurance of information," says
Manuela Oliveira, Sonae's Information Systems Director - Clients and
Services.

According to Joao Valente, WeDo Technologies' General Manager for New
Markets Development, "Sonae's retail division has decided to implement the
Business Assurance RAID system mainly to accelerate the detection of delays
or loss of information due to inconsistencies or gaps which occur in systems
or processes. With this solution we believe that Sonae will make significant
gains, since RAID provides a graphical interface that lets you design and
configure the validation process, allowing you to analyse the corresponding
results as the process runs."

During the implementation phase, which will take eight months,
a team of four staff from WeDo Technologies will provide full training and
support.

Sonae's adoption of the RAID system is in line with WeDo
Technologies' strategy of broadening its approach to sectors of the market
such as retail, finance and utilities through the Business Assurance concept.

Aligned with this strategy WeDo Technologies is attending
NRF's Retail Big Show 2010 in Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York
City, until January 13th.
