NETFUSIUM COMPLETES BOUCLAIR.COM TRANSITION TO YAHOO STORES

Montreal, February 3rd, 2002 – Netfusium Studios, a leading Information services provider, today announced the completion of BouClair.com's eCommerce site using Yahoo Stores, in English. BouClair.com is the Web side of BouClair Inc., a chain of 73 stores which caters to creative customers, offering draperies, decorative hardware, blinds, bed & bath as well as other home décor items and fabrics and notions.

Before Yahoo Stores, BouClair.com was operating under a proprietary system using IBM's WebSphere, developed with custom programming using an external company.

Initial costs to building its original eCommerce site were reduced to a mere 15 percent using Yahoo Stores and Netfusium. Maintenance costs will be decreased by as much as 75 percent, making the switch an obvious choice.

"The transition from their previous eCommerce infrastructure to Yahoo Stores will not only provide a more stable environment, but is sure to increase BouClair.com's return on investment as well " stated Netfusium President and CEO Sylvain Fortin.

Netfusium used Yahoo Stores to integrate the design and customised look and feel BouClair.com needed, all without the usual costs involved with writing custom applications.

According to Mr. Fortin, "The change should have been made from the beginning. The eCommerce site is superior, its maintenance costs are much lower, and the site is more stable. This solution will allow BouClair.com to become leaders in the online arena."
