Stone Analytics, San Diego, CA—April 7, 2003—Stone Analytics®, a leading provider of embeddable analytic engines, today announced that it had been awarded a General Services Administration MOBIS contract. MOBIS, which stands for Management, Organizational, and Business Improvement Services, streamlines the procurement procedure for federal agencies that want to obtain quality management and system change processes. Stone Analytics' products and services are now readily accessible to the entire U.S. Federal Government.

"We are extremely excited and proud about the new GSA MOBIS contract. It shows we have achieved the standards necessary to work with federal agencies," said Christy Joiner-Congleton, CEO of Stone Analytics. "Given the vast quantities of information it must process and store, the Federal Government is also an excellent candidate for our line of automated analytical products."

The Stone Analytics GSA contract covers both consulting services (e.g., strategic business and action planning, performance measurement, and process and productivity improvement), as well as Stone Analytics' Decision Science™ line of embeddable predictive analytic engines, which automate various aspects of the decision-making process. Contractors on the MOBIS schedule have demonstrated both a knowledge of quality management theory and the ability to provide expert assistance to organizations looking to institute these types of methods. In addition, Stone Analytics has the necessary personnel and facility clearances to work with a broad range of federal agencies.
