Product Launch

Harrier Group PLC 7 November 2000 HARRIER GROUP PLC HarrierZeuros Launches Range of Managed Services New services to provide regular revenue stream HarrierZeuros, a division of Harrier Group plc (AIM: HRR), yesterday announced the launch of a range of standardised secure managed services. The company currently provides a number of bespoke managed service solutions to organisations throughout the UK. Working together with clients from initial development to implementation and enhanced support, HarrierZeuros's Managed Services will provide organisations with the reassurance that its systems are fully secure. This enables valuable resources to be focused on the client's core business rather than its network and security infrastructure. Services available include: * Remote Diagnostics and Support * Alerts, Monitoring and Secure Web Portal * Change Control, Notification, Advisory and Reporting Services * Data Protection Services * Enterprise wide Secure Managed Services HarrierZeuros recognises that each company has individual requirements and therefore also continues to provide bespoke secure Managed Services solutions. These vary from unique remote management solutions from one of HarrierZeuros's offices to a full enterprise managed service comprising business risk analysis and regular penetration testing. Recognising that the decision-making process often falls to the Board or Financial departments, HarrierZeuros provides maximum flexibility by providing monthly, quarterly or annual billing to clients of these services. This also provides Harrier's management with more visibility of the Group's forward order book. David Cheesman, CEO of HarrierZeuros commented, 'We have developed our services as a response to recognising several problems that our clients face, one of which is the skills gap. Recruiting, training and retaining a team of security professionals is very expensive, managed services however can alleviate the pressures and assist in managing the ever increasing IT budget.' Further details on the services are available from the company or on the website. www.harrierzeuros.co.uk or the corporate website at www.harrier.com Company Contact: Sarah Carter Harrier Group plc Tel: 0118 931 9310 Email: sarah.carter@harrier.com Copies of this announcement will be available at Harrier's office (Pacific House, Imperial Way, Reading, Berkshire, RG2 0TD) for collection for a period of 14 days from the date of the announcement.
