MetLife Selects Solution from DWL to Support Consolidation of Customers Across Multiple Lines of Business

Leading Financial Services Organization To Support 100 Million Customer
Records With Real-Time Transactional Customer Application

NEW YORK, NY – Sept. 4, 2001 – DWL Incorporated, a leading
provider of enterprise customer management applications, today announced MetLife has
selected DWL’s solution to enable the consolidation of customer information across its
multiple lines of business. To support MetLife’s needs as a fully integrated financial
services company with a focus on customer service, the company will implement DWL
Customer™, a real-time, transactional application that will consolidate customer data
from more than 30 business systems across the organization.

DWL Customer will consolidate customer information from
MetLife’s multiple lines of business, ultimately supporting a total of 100 million
customers. Customer transactions from MetLife’s back-end and CRM systems will flow through
DWL Customer, which provides the real-time “golden” copy of all customer
information and manages roles and relationships, as well as interaction history at an
enterprise-wide level.

“We chose DWL because its strategic approach to
managing customer information aligned well with MetLife’s method. This similarity provided
an advantageous opportunity to team up with DWL and build a leading real-time
consolidation application that would accommodate the unique requirements of a large,
multi-line financial services company,” said Tony Candito, chief information officer
of individual business, MetLife. “Becoming customer focused is key to providing
better service and identifying new business opportunities. We intend to use this solution
to help us maintain a competitive advantage against other major financial institutions.”

“MetLife will benefit from improved and appropriate
service levels, as well as administrative cost reductions by replacing the need to
maintain multiple customer administration systems. In the long term they will benefit from
implementing a customer management application that will serve as the foundation for the
integration of new and different lines of businesses and the acquisition of new
organizations,” said Justin LaFayette, chairman and co-founder, DWL.
