    Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

    MAYNARD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 25, 2004--

    BelManage successfully deployed system wide for security patch
management, software license control, asset tracking, and more.

    Belarc, Inc. announced today that the U.S. Census Bureau has
successfully deployed Belarc's BelManage system on its network of
desktops, servers and laptops. The Census Bureau has deployed
BelManage on 8,500 seats and this will shortly grow to all of its
10,000 seats.
    BelManage was extremely easy to roll-out on their geographically
distributed network and met all of their expectations. BelManage helps
the Census Bureau to automatically track their security hotfixes,
Microsoft software licenses, and hardware IT assets for their LAN
consolidation project.
    "We are very pleased to have successfully deployed BelManage in
another large, geographically distributed computer environment, said
Ken Shaw, Sales Account Manager with Belarc. "BelManage is ideal for
this environment because it uses a single server and does not require
ongoing local administrator support. The information in BelManage is
automatically updated daily and is always accessible by both local and
headquarters IT staff."
