Our solution is fully scalable and is very easy to configure between different IT platforms. This solution was fully integrated to our full line of Oracle database tools and helps speed the delivery of data within any enterprise anywhere in the world. Business executives can readily access this mission-critical data at the flick of a mouse key, anywhere in the world, even on a cellular-operated laptop connected to the Internet. This project took us 4 months of R & D to complete. To this date, our solution is exclusive in the IT community. Additionally, it can be fully integrated to any of our ERP (Enterprise Resources Planning) solutions, including SAP R-3.

October 1st, 1999:

September 28, 1999 marks an important milestone in our ongoing quest for technological excellence.

This solution is also fully scalable on any Web server platform. This represents one of our proprietary solutions and we have standardized it with what currently exists in IT today. This is a major breakthrough for our modern R & D department.

All transactions will be done using a secure server protocol similar to SSL and SET.

September 3, 1999:

GCIS has fully completed project GCIS-99-019-F one week before it's deadline. This consists of a new Perl program we have developed that accelerates secure OLTP 128 bit Web commerce transactions.

We just made life simpler again for all our Web site visitors. On top of being able to access all our 3 Web stores from the bottom menu on all our pages, we have created 3 additional TOP Java menus ! Now you can access your favorite on-line stores directly from any of our top three menus. Just click on the one you prefer. Start with "Web Stores, Part 1" if you are not sure. All 3 web selections represent top value for your money. Plus, they ALL feature fully secure 128 bit encrypted servers for your security.

August 15, 1999:

Official invitation and acceptation to attend the EFTA (Electronic Funds Transfer Association) bi-annual summit to be held October 5th at the famous Watergate Hotel in Washington DC. EFTA is a very strong association that lobbies on the part of it's own industry and concerns. Being and staying very close the the US Congress and the White House is a big plus. We at GCIS are extremely proud to be part of the EFTA group. This represents for us strong new business opportunities. The people at EFTA have been very helpful to us and we are looking forward in working more and more with them as a team. Additionally, since GCIS is directly involved in the field of e-commerce, electronic funds transfer is a buzz word we use a lot. Some members of EFTA are: Visa, MasterCard International, American Express, EDS, IBM, Diebold, Chubb, most major US banks and financial institutions, most major banks around the world (Canada, Europe, Japan)...etc. EFTA is a very high profile trade association in the US. Many powerful US senators like Rep. Phil Gramm in Texas have tried to table new laws governing financial institutions that were eventually defeated thanks to strong lobbying pressures on the part of EFTA.

July 19, 1999:

New development of a new Perl program that will make it faster for certain types of CGI server enquiries in the e-commerce field. We expect that project to be completed on or around august 16th.

Meeting in Boston, MA with a group of researchers to start a feasability study on a new programming process to help the open development concept of the Linux operating system. The Linux OS was developed by university graduate Linus Torwalds in Sweden. What is interesting about Linux is that it is open source, wich means it's source code can be modified freely, within set conditions. GCIS wants to contribute in this fine OS. As can be expected, Microsoft is a bit worried Linux might take some market away from the Redmund company. GCIS strongly beleives in Linux as being a good and dependable operating system for today's Internet applications.

June 9th, 1999:

Final completion of the GCIS CCV 2.0™ automated credit card verifier in Pearl for CGI servers. Version 2.0 enables faster verification while at the same time it is fully 128 bit encrypted for maximum security. As an added bonus, version 2.0 reports back to us any discrepancies in electronic signatures or certificates. Version 1.5 has been phased out as a result. There is no charge to upgrade to version 2.0 for our customers that have bought version 1.5 in the last 12 months. Version 1.5 is now two years old.

May 5th, 1999:

Beginning of our new solution to OLTP. GCIS is trying to develop a new method to reduce the time it takes from a regular round trip delay of 5.2 seconds to less than 4 with our new technology. This applies to the old OLTP system as we know it today. Our solution, when completed, will enable businesses to process between 120 to 130 more transactions an hour on their secure GCIS Web e-commerce sites. If all goes as planned, we should be completed by late september of this year.

April 27th, 1999:

Completion and final approval of our new version of GCIS Net Solution Level Six™. This new version, version 3.0 enables more features for the same cost. One added bonus is the Internet carrier route back protocol we have added. It is a special communications carrier protocol that GCIS has developed and is holding the patent rights. This new feature reports back to our server if there is an error in any of the transmissions. It is an extremely reliable system. GCIS has completed the extensive testing of this new protocol on april 21, 1999. Before this was developed, we sometimes had to rely upon a human at the other end to tell us if all went ok.

March 12th, 1999:

Beginning of new contract talks with a major Canadian company. This organization has over 1200 pc's in Canada attached to the Internet with as many users. We are offering them an economical solution based on GCIS technology. We will know by august 31st if GCIS has won the contract. Our chances are good.

February 4th, 1999:

Complete abandon and permanent halt to contract talks with a group of Japanese investors wanting to buy technology from GCIS. After 5 months of negociation, GCIS has found they are not serious. Morover, they never wanted to sign our intellectual property confidentiality disclosure clause that we require at all times and that GCIS's attorneys specifically request. GCIS has terminated all talks with that group.

November 22nd, 1998:

We have completed our GCIS BP-AS-400-08 ® solution. Fully developed in our laboratories, our application represents a faster and more economical solution than what is currently available from different sources. It enables faster and safer batch processing (mostly at night) between the IBM AS/400 and any Web server running on UNIX or Windows NT. Additionally, the Center is continuing development for competing RDB (Relational DataBases) products from IBM (DB/2), Sybase, Oracle and Microsoft Access.
