Xenos to Collaborate with Oracle UK for Oracle Asset Vault™ Solution for Financial Services Organisations

Xenos d2e Vision Enables Financial Services Organisations to Consolidate Disparate Archives with Oracle 10g for Regulatory Compliance and High Volume Document Storage, Retrieval and Presentment

TORONTO, Ontario, October 12, 2005 - Xenos Group, Inc. (TSX: XNS), a leading provider of high-performance data, document and delivery solutions for e-Adaptability™, today unveiled the Oracle Asset Vault™ solution for financial services organisations at the Documation UK @ Storage Expo Show, Olympia, London.

The Asset Vault solution is an offering from Oracle and Xenos comprising Xenos d2e Vision software residing on Oracle Application Server 10g. It enables organisations to load, update and consolidate multiple disparate document archives into a single, high volume, high performance, Oracle database10g without changing existing legacy applications. This enables customers, CSAs, agents and financial advisors to have Web access to multiple systems with dynamic retrieval and view customer documents such as statements, cheque images, signatures, invoices, policies and correspondence, as well as access to XML-enabled e-business applications.

"Cost reduction, the need to retire old legacy systems following M&As and the desire for faster, simpler access to customer information are key drivers for financial services organisations. These factors are putting document and information management high on their IT agendas," said Nicola Toombs, banking director at Oracle UK. "Oracle and Xenos are enabling financial services institutions to consolidate and streamline disparate document and image archives, while simultaneously allowing them to meet regulatory compliance requirements. By improving how customer data is managed and accessed, firms can better comply with Sarbanes-Oxley, as well as FSA initiatives such as 'Treating Customers Fairly' and 'Know Your Customer'."

Peter Simpson, financial services business development manager, Xenos UK, stated, "Xenos and Oracle will provide the state-of-the-art Asset Vault solution to help address the complex requirements of large banking, credit card, insurance, brokerage and telecommunications companies for streamlined business processes to provide consolidated information from multiple disparate archives - and reduce the costs associated with maintaining multiple silos of information. The Oracle Asset Vault solution with Xenos d2e Vision is designed to provide extremely high-speed, high-volume statement archiving and statement presentment in the formats customers require."

Written 100% in Java, Xenos d2e Vision meets the scalable high-volume performance requirements of large and mid-size enterprises, by providing flexible electronic content management, archiving and dynamic e-business Web document presentment solutions with data extraction, document separation, transformation and repurposing capabilities. Xenos d2e Vision version 2.1 processes IBM AFP and Xerox Metacode/DJDE printstreams, PDF documents and TIFF files to generate PDF, HTML/CSS, Image, TIFF, AFP, Metacode and XML output formats for critical e-business applications such as customer statement presentment.

Rapid application development with d2e Vision Developer Studio enables higher productivity and faster return on investment. Xenos d2e Vision version 2.1 runs on Windows NT/2000/XP, AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris and IBM z/OS (running Unix Systems Services) with JVM 1.4.x.
