EPS AND ONCOVANCE
USE THE
MILOS SOLUTION PLATFORM TO DELIVER ADVANCED MEDICAL
DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES
EPS Software Corp. and Oncovance
Technologies, Inc. are collaborating in the development of a pioneering
online patient registry database allowing physicians dealing with cancer
patients to make more accurate diagnostic predictions about outcomes of
treatments with specific pharmaceuticals.
Houston,
TX (June 11, 2006) - In keeping with
its role as a pioneer in custom software development based on the .NET
Framework, EPS Software today announced that it is developing a
mission-critical online software platform for Oncovance Technologies,
Inc., a Houston-based leader in diagnostic services provided to
physicians and pharmaceutical firms.
Oncovance, a company
created through collaboration between leading physicians and scientists
from the Baylor College of Medicine, the Cleveland Clinic and the
Sloan
Kettering
Memorial
Cancer
Center, is pioneering the
propagation of an algorithm-based diagnostic service, based on patient
databases accessible online. Among its major clients is Bayer AG, the
pharmaceutical giant. EPS has already built an advanced platform to
deliver Oncovance's breakthrough cancer diagnostic data. The current
development applies the advantages of a patient registry database to
predict and visualize the performance of certain drugs and treatment
approaches. The key component of Oncovance's approach, being implemented
by EPS's software platform, is the ability for registered users of the
database to obtain real-time visualization of a patient's condition and
diagnosis via state-of-art algorithms displayed as
"nomograms."
"This is the first time
that Oncovance's proprietary nomograms have been made available to the
medical community in relation to specific drugs and treatments," said
Markus Egger, EPS Chief Software Architect and founder. We are excited
and proud to have been selected as the software company with the
privilege of helping Oncovance bring this pioneering technology to
market."
EPS is using its
wll-known Milos Solution Platform as the foundation of the software
components on which the Oncovance online visualization application is
built. Milos is an advanced set of components, process and tools,
established on top of Microsoft's .NET Framework, for the building of
advanced enterprise applications.

EPS Software Corp Announces an Exciting New
Developer Portal
Houston, TX - (May 17, 2004) - EPS Software Corp.
today announced vfpconversion.com
- a set of resources supporting the FoxPro and VFP communities in enhancing
their FoxPro applications with latest technologies available from Microsoft, or
in converting applications from VFP to the Microsoft .NET platform. EPS
Software Corp. founder and Chief Software Architect Markus Egger said that
increasing demand from within the VFP community led EPS to launch the new VFP
Conversion service. "Visual FoxPro is a powerful and flexible tool that's used
for many mission-critical applications. At the same time it is amazing how many
calls we've been getting from companies running VFP who would like to migrate,"
said Egger. "In some case they just wish to have a SQL Server back-end - but
many have plans to convert the VFP application to .NET entirely." Partners of
EPS Software available to provide support in the VFP Conversion effort include
Rick Strahl of West Wind Technologies, Kevin McNeish of Oak Leaf Enterprises
and Rod Paddock of Dash Point Software, Inc.
The Houston, TX-based EPS Software Corp. is also known for its Milos Solution
Platform - a set of components, processes and tools for creating advanced,
enterprise-class applications based on Microsoft .NET technology. Milos
components include configurable solutions for painlessly converting VFP
applications to the .NET environment. "The Milos Solution Platform radically
changes the nature of the software development process for developers using
Microsoft technologies," notes I.J. Ikavalko, in charge of business development
for EPS. "For VFP to .NET conversion, the time, cost and architecture
advantages of the Milos resource set are particularly notable." The VFP
Conversion effort represents the first time that such a group of VFP and
advanced Microsoft technologies experts have pooled their talents to offer
services in improving and converting VFP applications. The VFP Conversion web
portal can be accessed at www.vfpconversion.com.

Local resident presents computer industry research papers
to European Software Developer's Conference in Germany
Houston, TX - (October 10, 2002) - Dan Jurden, a
long-time Brenham, Texas resident will be busy traveling during the month of
November, making presentations at two significant conferences about the latest
in computer technologies to information industry professionals on two
continents. Dan, a senior developer with EPS Software Corporation (www.eps-cs.com),
a Microsoft Certified Partner specializing in custom software development, will
travel to Frankfurt Germany in the beginning of November to present a total of
four papers on Microsoft's SQL Server 2000 data access strategies. In addition
to this, he will be presenting an introductory session about "Voodoo Web
Controls," a developer's product that allows for greater user functionality in
web pages. EPS Software is the creator of these tools and Dan has been
intimately involved in the work.
A week after Dan returns home he will be off again. This time
it's a little closer to home. He's going to Milwaukee, Wisconsin as one of an
elite group of speakers at the Great Lakes Database Workshop. He will again
talk about SQL Server data access strategies as well as participate in panel
discussions on custom application development strategies.
Dan commented, "I've spent most of my adult life working in the
computer industry and, as a part of this, have attended many professional
conferences to gain more knowledge and insight into my chosen field. I'm really
happy that I've been asked to give something back to the community that I work
in. I'm looking forward to going to Germany and presenting my papers as well as
attending sessions given by other software professionals. I'm just not sure
that I'll be able to get a chicken fried steak there."
Dan's many years of experience in the computer industry have
elevated him to a level of knowledge that is now being recognized around the
world. Next time you see him with his family at a local school sporting event,
ask him how Frankfurt was in November. It was probably a bit colder than here
in Brenham but for Dan it was all in a day's work.
