Norwalk, CT. --- (May 26, 2005) --- ARGOS^® Assessment Company, a division of ERC Dataplus, Inc., a leader in multirater assessment administration, was selected a year ago by Executive Coaching Network, Inc. (EXCN), a global consulting firm providing customized services that develop current and future leaders, to provide multirater assessment delivery and administration for one of their key international clients, Standard Bank of South Africa, Ltd.

"ARGOS Assessment Company has more than lived up to our expectations for delivering timely, cost-effective and quality final reports with some significant logistical challenges," said Alyssa Freas, President and CEO of EXCN. "Our client has locations in Johannesburg, South Africa, Hong Kong and the UK. Not only was the AAC team available whenever EXCN or the client needed to speak directly with them, which included numerous calls outside of AAC's normal business hours, they also were able to quickly adapt their system to accommodate changes that were required to meet changing client requirements. I am extremely proud of both the EXCN team and the AAC team for how they delivered on all aspects of the bank's leadership program resulting in a very satisfied client who is looking to expand this program."

"We are delighted to be celebrating our first year anniversary partnering with EXCN. The AAC team has proved that delivering outstanding customer service are not just some empty words in a marketing brochure," said Paul Rathblott, ERC Dataplus and ARGOS Assessment Company, President and CEO. "They come to life with every client, and always when a client's reputation, whether a consultant or direct end-user, is on the line. I am extremely proud of the effectiveness of the AAC team and making themselves available whenever they were required by either EXCN or Standard Bank, no matter what the time was. I'm also proud to be associated with a company as dedicated to quality as EXCN. It is committed to delivering results that exceed what its client has expected and beyond what both of our organizations had committed," continued Rathblott.
