Michael Baker Corporation Deploys Captara for Complete Enterprise Lease Management

SAN FRANCISCO – September 12, 2006 – Captara Corporation, the only comprehensive, web-based corporate lease management solution provider, has been selected by Michael Baker Corporation to improve the engineering and energy professional services firm’s enterprise leasing process and to provide the company with a complete set of applications for reporting lease obligations and commitments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. Michael Baker Corporation rapidly deployed the Captara solution enterprise-wide, providing centralization of all equipment leasing documentation.

“Baker utilized Captara’s solution to simplify its internal lease process and to centralize documentation,” said William P. Mooney, EVP & CFO, Michael Baker Corporation. “The Captara solution’s support, along with the collective expertise of the Captara team, has proven to be invaluable to us.”

Baker plans to take full advantage of the Captara solution to efficiently standardize and optimize crucial leasing activities, such as Request for Proposal (RFP) development, online collaboration with financial institutions to compare lease proposals, and standardized contracts for every financing project. Additionally, Captara’s automated notification features prevent Baker’s agreements from slipping into costly evergreen leases.

“More than 250 companies were forced to restate 2004-2005 earnings as a result of improper lease accounting, and FASB has looked at ways to update its lease accounting guidelines,” said Dave Tompkins, VP Client Services, Captara. “Companies are increasingly turning to Captara to improve the business processes behind their lease activities and provide transparency to these activities across the enterprise and to regulatory agencies.”
