TORONTO, ONTARIO and OAKLAND, NEW JERSEY - June 1, 2004 - BroadView Software Inc. and MicroFirst Engineering Inc. announced today a plan to integrate their respective software solutions for television broadcasters. The two companies will be developing a unique integrated solution for customers who desire the combined benefits of BroadView's integrated programming and traffic functionality and MicroFirst's cost-effective automation solutions.

"This follows our philosophy of working with different automation vendors of all types to maximize flexibility for our customers," said Michael Atkin, President of BroadView Software.

Jerry Berger, Vice President General Manager of MicroFirst added, "MicroFirst's Digital Automation System (D.A.S.) provides a comprehensive yet cost effective automation system designed to provide a streamlined workflow for the ingest, meta-data management, and transmission of multi-channel digital and analog content."
