MGEN LAUNCHES FIRST RESPONDER SOLUTION FOR THE GOVERNMENT MARKET

-- Helps Identify, Locate and Deploy Teams of Personnel to Any Scenario or Event, Including Homeland Security and Incident Response --

Foxborough, MA - April 28, 2003 - mGen, Inc., a leading developer of advanced distributed knowledge, human capital and learning management systems, today announced First Responder, a new software solution that allows government organizations to build teams based on competencies, demographics, surveys and other employee information.

First Responder enables government agencies to respond quickly to mission-critical initiatives or other critical incidents by identifying, locating and deploying the most appropriate personnel resources to any given event, such as homeland security and incident response.

“Given the current world conditions, government agencies must be prepared to handle a variety of situations,” said Peter R. Alternative, principal of RCW Mirus, Inc. “In order to address key mission challenges and time-sensitive incidents, agencies must be able to tap into their vast repositories of human capital and quickly and effectively deploy the right people for the right situation. Solutions like mGen’s First Responder provide organizations with the necessary resources to tackle ever-changing and unanticipated challenges.”

First Responder aggregates and sorts a variety of information, including knowledge and human talent contained within learning, knowledge and human capital management systems. While other solutions claim to aggregate people and their competencies, First Responder is the only solution that aggregates and sorts a variety of information from a variety of repositories - including Learning Management Systems (LMS), Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS), Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and resume databases - yielding the broadest and most efficient assessment of individuals that best meets specific needs.

“While government agencies have made great strides to better prepare their workforce, until now there has been no solution available that provides the ability to develop best-in-class teams to effectively respond to any type of incident,” said Jack Battersby, CEO and president of mGen. “First Responder enables government organizations to leverage organizational talent and help them achieve their mission goals.”

Key features of First Responder include the ability to:
· Identify specific criteria by weight and rank;
· Sort, filter and group candidates to be part of a required team;
· Highlight individual users and receive detailed personnel information, histories and biographies;
· Seamlessly integrate with mGen Enterprise’s organizational communications system or third-party learning management systems and competency management systems.

Availability and Pricing
mGen’s First Responder will be generally available in May 2003. Pricing starts at $25,000. For more information, visit www.mgen.com.
