Omaha, Nebraska - EnSite Incorporated, a leading provider of software solutions and transaction management services for energy companies and service providers, announces the extension of the hosting and services agreement with the manager of the School Project for Utility Rate Reduction ("SPURR").  SPURR provides gas supply management and purchasing, regulatory, and gas operations services to over 3,500 facilities operated by 180 public K-12 districts, community colleges, county offices of education, universities, and other public agencies in California.

The initial hosting agreement for the SPURR program with EnSite starting in May, 2003, met their unique, integrated customer care and billing requirements.  Under the terms of the agreement, EnSite will continue to provide transaction management services for electronic billing and payment transactions in conjunction with SPURR's trading partners along with invoice processing services utilizing EnSite Safari Suite^®.

For regional niche marketers, EnSite's fully-integrated hosted and outsourced services provide cost-effective solutions to match your business model today and support future growth.  Compared to in-house or custom energy applications, the EnSite Safari Suite^® platform offers proven and comprehensive features and functionality, as well as EnSite's commitment to continually upgrade and enhance the application.  Clients benefit from EnSite's ongoing marketplace exposure, and can be assured that they are using the most innovative and advanced operational platform available.  This translates into improved efficiency and customer satisfaction, as well as the tools to provide additional services and products to customers.

"Safari Suite continues to be an effective tool for us to manage our members' energy needs," said Michael Rochman, Managing Director of SPURR.  "EnSite remains a valuable technology partner, responsive to industry changes and supportive in helping us manage our energy program."

 "We've built a great relationship with SPURR over the past four years and appreciate their confidence in our ongoing support of their school districts and facilities", said Rod Bates, President of EnSite.  "We look forward to continuing to deliver value that will help SPURR to grow its membership and remain a leading provider of energy management services in California."
