S3 Investment Company Announces Agreement with Lexington Medical Center for Installation of Securesoft COMPLY Product


TEMECULA, Calif., Dec. 20, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- S3 Investment Company (OTCBB:SEIH) today announced that Lexington Medical Center of Lexington, South Carolina has agreed to upgrade to Securesoft Systems' "COMPLY Enterprise HIPAA Software Solution" as their compliance process automation solution.

TSPartner CEO Gregory Dawson, stated, "This is another in a series of initial successes from our marketing and sales efforts. Our three tier marketing program is expected to pay major dividends in 2005 and beyond. The ability to work with consultants and IT outsourcing companies will extend our penetration of hospitals and other healthcare markets. Consultants and Outsourced IT departments have responded in an extremely positive way to the COMPLY program and to our residual income strategy for their efforts. In addition to their assistance in the sales process, they are also providing extremely valuable feedback on additional features for COMPLY.

"Securesoft Systems and TSPartner are working hand in hand to make sure this solution is the best possible Enterprise HIPAA Solution for our customers. The synergy created by our combined development teams is already paying off. We also see a need for additional software products to meet the growing needs of organizations in their efforts to meet regulatory and security requirements. Cost for compliance is creating a larger demand for compliance process automation. We are confident that our combined efforts will reap rewards for both companies."

Lexington Medical Center serves the entire Lexington County and is a part of the Lexington County Health Services District, which includes a 292-bed hospital, a 352-bed long-term care facility, five Community Medical Centers and fifteen physician practices.
