NEW "PRIDE" eBOOK & AUDIO BOOK INTRODUCED

May 21, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
PALM HARBOR, FL, USA (May 21, 2006) - M. Bryce & Associates (MBA) is pleased to
announce the release of a new book on their "PRIDE" Methodologies for IRM which
is implemented in two forms: as an eBook (PDF) and as an Audio Book (MP3).
"PRIDE" represents three integrated methodologies for developing and managing
the resources needed to support the information resources of a business.
It includes structured methodologies for Enterprise Engineering, Information
Systems Engineering, and Data Base Engineering. Also included is a Project
Management system.

In November 2004, MBA released "PRIDE" to the public via the Internet in order
to introduce a world standard for Information Resource Management (IRM).
"PRIDE" represents a massive body of work that has evolved over the last 35 years.
The new book represents a condensed version and, as such, complements the
Internet version.

"These new electronic versions of PRIDE were developed for today's mobile
managers and developers," said Tim Bryce, the Managing Director of MBA and
the author of the book. "It puts the PRIDE documentation at their fingertips and
allows them to listen to the book as they are commuting or traveling. The audio
version is also useful for the visually impaired."

The book describes each methodology in terms of concepts and philosophies
implemented, the structure and navigation of the methodology, followed by a
description of each phase, including its activities and sample deliverables.
Supplemental sections are also included in support of the methodologies and
includes a comprehensive glossary of terms and index.

The eBOOK version (ISBN 0-9786182-0-3) is 363 pages in length and is implemented
using the popular Adobe Reader. This provides the means to quickly navigate the
book through bookmarks as well as print the pages (8.5" x 11" paper).
The price for this version is $49.00 (U.S.) plus tax and is delivered via e-mail.

The AUDIO BOOK (ISBN 0-9786182-1-1) is an abridged version as it doesn't include
the examples and some of the supporting sections, e.g., glossary of terms, index,
etc., otherwise it is identical. The Audio Book is implemented as a series of MP3
files (38 total) representing over nine hours of tutorials by the author. This format
is excellent for use in iPods, MP3 players, CD players, and PC's. The price for
this version is $54.00 (U.S.) plus tax and is delivered on CD through the post office.

A discounted package price is available for both, the eBook and the Audio Book,
for $93.00 (U.S.) plus tax.

The book is excellent for both corporate developers as well as at the university
level where it complements a college curriculum. The eBook version includes
sample deliverables (examples) resulting from the methodologies.

Both versions of the book are sold and destributed by MBA as well as authorized
book retailers (discounts available). Excerpts from the book are also available
(a trial version) both as a PDF file and MP3 file.

"The book does not replace the web version of 'PRIDE' but, instead should be
considered a companion to support it," said Bryce. "The web version is still
very robust and includes a lot more information than we could possibly publish."
