GrowthNet and TRC Roll Out Client Integration ExtraNets

Corporations sign Cooperative Product Development & Marketing Agreement to deliver Solutions Consoles to TRC Clients.

Houston - December 20, 2001


GrowthNet Trading, LLC and TRC Companies, Inc. (NYSE symbol: TRR) signed an agreement today under which they will codevelop and deliver specially-designed GrowthNet Solutions Console™ ExtraNets to TRC Clients. Under this agreement, TRC will exclusively deploy Solutions Consoles™ to the US (non-nuclear) Environmental market. GrowthNet will provide product architecture, development, customization, maintenance, and upgrade support on TRC/GrowthNet Solution Console™ projects. More than half of TRC's $240MM annual revenues originate from environmental services.

"To make $10-$100MM projects a success, you must rapidly communicate where you are and where you're going to over 100 people.", advises TRC-ECON Operations Vice President, J. D. Kern, "So we keep our clients, internal staff, contractors, managers, team members, regulators, insurers, and other stakeholders all up to date and in sync using our Solutions Consoles."

Solutions Consoles display extensive environmental, planning, status, and project team information. This data is audience-tailorable and reached by clicking on dynamically-linked site maps, organizational charts, and content pages.

Solutions Consoles also add value and allow TRC to better serve its clients by providing pre-contract, contracting, and on-going project information that accelerates project activities, decision-making, and transitions. These secure ExtraNet Systems are user-friendly, image-oriented, and link-intensive, so clients and project team members can rapidly access information they need from any location (24 / 7).

TRC uses GrowthNet's Client Awareness Systems™ to accelerate opportunity finding and assess client needs. TRC's Exit Strategy® and Quantifying Environmental Liability projects represent the initial thrust of the TRC/GrowthNet Solutions Console™ venture.
