CALGARY, ALBERTA--Quorum Information Technologies Inc. announced 
a change of name for AUTOMATE, the Company's proprietary 
automotive Dealership Management System (DMS) software. The 
products' new name is XSELLERATOR. 

"AUTOMATE has now been sold and/or implemented in 55 Dealerships 
in 8 provinces across Canada. Because of our success, the 
AUTOMATE name is becoming very well known. Normally, this would 
be considered great news! However, the trademark for AUTOMATE is 
for Canada only, and we require a trademarked name for North 
America. So we have decided to make a name change sooner rather 
than later. We are pleased to announce that the new name will be 
XSELLERATOR(TM)," said Maury Marks, President and CEO of Quorum 
Information Systems Inc. 

XSELLERATOR is the only completely Windows-based Dealership and 
Customer Management software on the market. It completely
