CBE Technologies to Assist State in Deploying PCs and Internet Access for Hurricane Katrina Evacuees Housed on Camp Edwards

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 8, 2005--CBE Technologies is working with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to put in place over 150 computers and laptops and Internet access that will be used by Katrina refugees housed at Camp Edwards at the Massachusetts Military Reservation in Bourne. The computer center will give the displaced guests access to email and the Internet - an invaluable link as they look for family members and friends, new housing, and jobs.

Employees of CBE Technologies, the New England-based provider of information technology, are donating their time and technical talents to get the computer center up and running. Gulf Coast hurricane victims began arriving at Camp Edwards this afternoon.

Last weekend, CBE employees joined forces with colleagues at sister company Dempsey Business Systems, in Alexandria, Louisiana, to orchestrate a computer application that is used by the Central Louisiana Chapter of the American Red Cross to manage its inventory of hurricane relief supplies. The Internet application is vital for tracking and assessing supplies for an eight-parish area and three
evacuee shelters.

"We were greatly saddened by the tragic loss of life and property devastation left in the wake of Katrina," said Peter Cowie, CBE Technologies chairman. "It is gratifying to see the initiative of our employees as they help others whose lives have been turned upside
down."
