Piscataway, NJ, March 20, 2001 - Burgdorff ERA, a $2 billion dollar real estate company with a major presence in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, has chosen Quadrix Solutions to architect, develop, and provide managed collocation services for www.Burgdorff.com, its next generation web site. The site's architectural foundation was built using Quadrix Solutions' Design For eXcellence (DFX), a pioneering approach that sped time-to-market for this progressive eBusiness solution and ensured that the Burgdorff ERA site would be high performing, reliable, scalable and secure, as well as easy to operate, service and maintain.

Quadrix Solutions formulated a comprehensive Internet strategy, established a solid technological foundation for future growth, developed sophisticated site capabilities and currently provides the comprehensive network, system and application management services that are necessary for ongoing operations. A key member of the solutions team was step2media, a digital media communications firm and one of Quadrix's strategic partners. step2media completely redesigned the site's navigational and graphical elements.

"Finding high quality partners is imperative," notes Judy Reeves, president of Burgdorff ERA. "We chose the team of Quadrix Solutions and step2media because they shared our passion for customer service. They delivered a best-of-breed site, with expanded functionality that really personalizes our customer service. Moreover, it was clear that this team could serve us well into the future as we expand our Internet presence."

By outsourcing the design, development and hosting of its site to Quadrix Solutions, Burgdorff ERA can concentrate its internal resources on maintaining market leadership and further enhancing its customer service capabilities rather than building and managing an Internet infrastructure. "The work that Quadrix and step2media performed has revolutionized the way we do business, and has proven to be very cost effective," continues Reeves.

Quadrix Solutions developed the site using its innovative Java Applications Quickly™ (JAQ) architecture, using pre-built components. This sped the site's deployment, reinforced its scalability, vastly improved the quality of the end user experience, and provided the capability for flexible content management.

"Moving to Quadrix Solutions' JAQ architecture gave our site more power, enabled our internal staff to readily change the look and feel of the information on the site, and overall, offered us tremendous value for the investment," explains Reeves. "Now, we can change content 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This simply wasn't practical with our old site."

"There are always going to be bumps along the road to a technology solution," stresses Reeves. "What it really comes down to is the company with whom you're experiencing those bumps. It is absolutely essential that you trust your partner and feel confident that you are working with quality people. The Quadrix Solutions/step2media team is our partner, in the truest sense of the word. They augment the Burgdorff ERA staff, and they respond to our needs as if they were internal to our company."
