NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – March 12, 2003 – The TriZetto® Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:TZIX), an active member of the Oracle® Partner Network, announced the availability of a new version of Facets® that works with the Oracle9i Database. Facets, TriZetto's flagship system, is used by more health plans that any other packaged administrative software. Depending on a health plan's requirements, Facets can be hosted and managed through one of TriZetto's data centers, or licensed and installed at the customer site.

"Running Facets on the Oracle9i Database makes good business sense," said Tony Bellomo, president of TriZetto's software unit. "We can now deliver the full scalability and functionality of our administrative software in combination with the industry's premier database. This new product strengthens our market position, especially with large, complex health plans, and gives our customers another database to choose from."

"Working with TriZetto, a leader in the payer arena, further underscores Oracle's commitment to the healthcare industry," said Joe Duffy, senior vice president, Oracle Health Industries. "Combining Oracle9i Database with TriZetto's industry-leading Facets system enables organizations to address industry needs to improve operational efficiency and help ensure the security and privacy of patient information."

In addition to Oracle, Facets is compatible with Sybase or Microsoft SQL databases. TriZetto will offer and support Facets with all three databases.

Oracle9i Database is the most powerful database available for enterprise applications including transaction processing, content management, and business intelligence. Oracle9i Database with Real Application Clusters provides virtually limitless scalability and unbreakable reliability and security for all packaged applications.
