San Francisco, California, June 28, 1994 - Software Services and Solutions, Inc.
, Receives Object Honors Award for Consulting Services

Software Services and Solutions, Inc., was honored last week at
the Object Honors Awards ceremony that kicked off NEXTSTEP Expo
'94 in San Francisco, California.  Nine awards were distributed
among firms that had made substantial contributions in customized
solutions, software tools, hardware, and training in the object-oriented
marketplace.  Software Services and Solutions, Inc., received its
award for software development, engineering, networking, and other
services provided to the manufacturer of a new medical instrument
incorporating open systems and real time technology.

The Object Honors Awards were judged by an independent panel of
industry analysts and journalists.  The panel did not include any
judges from NeXT or affiliated companies.  Awardees were chosen
based on overall excellence in their category and the quality and
innovation of a service, solution, or product.

Software Services and Solutions, Inc., implemented a touchscreen
driver and other key software components for the medical instrument
to allow it to operate as a turnkey device in the wet, crowded
arena of an operating room.  Consultants from Software Services
and Solutions, Inc., used the SS&S CASE Tools, CodeReviewer and
DRCS, to establish a multiuser software development environment
and code quality control system, as well as establishing the client's
corporate network.  Much of the consulting involved using NeXT,
Inc.'s NEXTSTEP object-oriented environment in novel ways to give
the appearance of a real-time medical instrument controller at the
user level.

"We are very pleased to have received the Object Honors Award for
this work in two of our primary vertical markets, medical information
systems technology and software development and methodology," said
Robert L. Masterson, Vice President of Software Services and
Solutions, Inc., "The project highlights the extremely broad range
of skills we have to offer clients -  innovative problem-solving,
low-level familiarity with devices and a variety of software systems
from DOS to NEXTSTEP, and the high-level design savvy to leverage
off a comprehensive object-oriented environment to deploy a unique
tool."
