Top Government Integrator Selects NetVersant's YEAR2000.EXE
Cites Speed, Features, Price

Clearwater, Florida, March 19, 2026 -- Sumaria Systems Inc., a leading systems integrator, has selected the YEAR2000.EXE Toolset from NetVersant Technologies to speed up COBOL conversion for the state of Massachusetts as well as its other national and international customers. The toolset was selected because it can convert programs as fast as 3,000 lines per minute, supports the two major COBOL conversion methods used today, and is competitively priced.

"To ensure we maintain the engineering quality and discipline for which we have built our reputation, we have selected NetVersant's YEAR2000.EXE as part of our suite of automated Y2K tools,'' stated Mr. Venilal Sumaria, President and CEO of Sumaria Systems. He continued, ``Working with our customers, we continue to seek low cost Y2K solutions on their behalf in light of tight IT budgets. With NetVersant's competitively low pricing structure for YEAR2000.EXE, we are able to meet the needs of our customers worldwide for low cost, effective Y2K solutions.''

Targeting IT professionals in the corporate, government, and educational markets, NetVersant's alliance with Sumaria was a natural. Sumaria is currently on the U.S. Government GSA Schedule as well as GSA FEDSIM contracts. With YEAR2000.EXE, Sumaria can renovate COBOL quickly in its own factory or easily train its customers on the use of the tool when the customer wants to renovate the code in-house.

YEAR2000.EXE is a complete COBOL toolset consisting of an intelligent COBOL Analyzer and Converter and related Impact Analysis and Validator programs. Supplying date expansion and procedural Windowing simultaneously, the latest YEAR2000.EXE version 2.51 allows the user to determine which method to utilize for any affected field. Current projects report date conversion taking place at speeds in excess of 3,000 lines of COBOL source code per minute.

Now in its second generation, the toolset was developed by veteran COBOL developer 21st Century COBOL Conversions Inc., and is currently fixing millions of lines of code per month at corporate and government sites like the L.A. Unified School District and Louisville Water Company. YEAR2000.EXE Toolsets are available to convert ANSI COBOL for DOS, Microsoft Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Windows NT and SCO UNIX.

``NetVersant is offering a top-quality, high-performance Y2K product at an incredible price. Nothing in the marketplace today can compete with our YEAR2000.EXE.,'' said Mike Siewruk, CEO of NetVersant. He continued, ``We are excited about our relationship with Sumaria and will continue to partner with system integrators who have strong industry presence in corporate, government and academic markets.''
