Direct Computer Resources, Inc. Awarded Patent for Computer-Implemented Software System that Manages and Manipulates Data from Heterogeneous Data Systems


FRANKLIN LAKES, New Jersey, September 12 /PRNewswire/ --

Direct Computer Resources, Inc. (DCR) was awarded U.S. Patent No.
7,251,693 for a 'System and Method for Data Quality Management and Control of
Heterogeneous Data Sources,' currently incorporated into the Company's
market-leading Data Privacy software solution, DataVantage Global.

The new software invention is a resource management tool that simplifies
the data system management process. More specifically, the system
incorporates three discrete functions: it provides connections to source data
systems, allows users to view data structures, and enables simple data
management and data manipulation contained within heterogeneous data systems.

The system includes an advanced graphical user interface, allowing users
to access and manage systems via a simple point-and-click methodology.
Portals are also employed as tools to collect, visualize, analyze and
directly edit data sets associated with different data sources. In addition,
the system tracks its operational status, allowing users to automatically
reproduce work done in one logon session with work completed in the previous
session without the need to replicate previous data analysis.

The patent encompasses a data management system with a 'state-save
facility' that rebuilds data viewers for subsequent sessions. Under its ideal
deployment, information from the state-save facility is used to rebuild all
of the data viewers associated with a particular portal by re-querying the
data sources associated with the relevant viewers when the portal is
reopened.

"For nearly three decades, DCR has established a legacy of being
first-to-market with critical technology innovations," said Edward Stull,
DCR's chief software architect and primary inventor. "This software invention
introduces a convenient way to visualize, manage and save complex data
presentations concurrently from multiple perspectives and through information
portals that can be regenerated on demand and easily shared with others."

Joseph Buonomo, DCR president and CEO added that, "This patent represents
another key milestone in DCR's history. It has always been our goal to create
market-leading technology in the product set we offer to our customers
worldwide."

Antoinette M. Tease (www.TeaseLaw.com) filed the patent on DCR's behalf.
The Company has two additional patents pending.
