Network Six, Inc. of Warwick, Rhode Island announced that the State of Maine,
Department of Human Services, has selected Network Six to negotiate a contract
to support their automated child welfare system known as MACWIS for an
additional year. The approximate value of the one-year contract is $1.8 million.
Maine has the option to contract with Network Six for up to two additional years
of support. The award is subject to federal and state approval.

In early 1996, Network Six began development of the MACWIS system for the State
of Maine. MACWIS automates many of the functions currently performed manually by
caseworkers. The system, a state-of-the art-client server system utilizing an
Oracle database and PowerBuilder as the development tool, is currently deployed
and operational statewide. Maine recently signed a three-month support contract
with Network Six while evaluating competitive bids for longer-term support.

"We are very pleased to have been selected by the State of Maine for this work,"
said Kenneth C. Kirsch, President and CEO of Network Six. "We will utilize many
of the same people who developed and implemented the MACWIS system to support
it," Kirsch added.
