HealthRamp and ZYBEC Corporation Execute Sales and Marketing Partnership

NEW YORK, July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ramp Corporation (Amex: RCO)
today announced that its wholly-owned HealthRamp subsidiary and ZYBEC
Corporation have signed an agreement to promote HealthRamp's CarePoint suite
of technology to prospective and existing customers of ZYBEC. The agreement
calls for the creation of a proprietary interface to extract patient
information for export to CarePoint. ZYBEC provides claims processing and
follow up services, while offering its proprietary software at no additional
charge to its customers. HealthRamp develops and markets the CarePoint suite
of technologies, which enables electronic prescribing, lab orders and results,
Internet-based communication, data integration, and transaction processing
over a handheld device or browser, at the point-of-care.
    "We are pleased to be able to offer electronic prescribing through
HealthRamp's CarePoint technologies, to our current and prospective customers.
Demand for electronic prescribing is growing and we anticipate a positive
reception to our combined technologies. As ZYBEC expands its sales and
marketing efforts from Texas to a truly National scope, we look forward to
bringing CarePoint to an ever-increasing audience," said Bill Grimes, Chairman
of ZYBEC Corporation.
    "ZYBEC, combined with CarePoint, provides physicians with a robust
in-office technology solution. Building on ZYBEC's strengths, CarePoint adds
efficient point-of-care functionality not typically found in practice
management systems," stated Andrew Brown Ramp CEO and President. "We are very
excited about working with ZYBEC to meet the electronic prescribing needs of
its customers. While integrating our technologies is a core part of this new
relationship, one of the other exciting aspects is being able to market
alongside ZYBEC in its territories. Healthcare is still a local industry in
many respects, so strong regional partnerships such as this one with ZYBEC are
a key to our deployment strategy," Brown concluded.

its proprietary software at no additional charge to its customers. ZYBEC
Corporation is unique in that it offers its proprietary software to its
