ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

The ISIS Group acquired the shares of Common Stock to which this Schedule 13D
relates for the purpose of obtaining a significant equity position in the
Issuer, and for the possible purpose of exerting influence over the direction of
the Issuer. The ISIS Group considered the Common Stock to be an attractive
investment at the price levels at which the shares of Common Stock were
acquired.

The primary interest of the ISIS Group is to maximize the value of the Common
Stock of the Issuer for the benefit of all shareholders. To this end, the ISIS
Group intends to continually review the Issuer's business affairs, financial
position and future prospects, as well as conditions in the securities markets
and general economic and industrial conditions. As part of such evaluations, the
members of the ISIS Group will continue to seek the views of, hold active
discussions with and respond to inquiries from members of the Board of
Directors, officers or representatives of the Issuer and other persons regarding
the Issuer's affairs and strategic alternatives. Based on such evaluation and
review and other factors (including, without limitation, the response, position
and direction of the Board of Directors and management of the Issuer), the
members of the ISIS Group will continue to consider various alternative courses
of action and will in the future take such actions with respect to their
investments in the Issuer as they deem appropriate in light of the
circumstances. Such actions may include seeking representation on the Board of
Directors of the Issuer; making recommendations to members of the Board of
Directors and management concerning various business strategies, acquisitions,
dispositions, dividend policies, capital structure, recapitalization, sale,
merger and other matters; seeking to acquire control of the Issuer through a
merger, proxy solicitation, tender offer, exchange offer or otherwise; or such
other actions as the ISIS Group may deem appropriate. Such actions may involve
the purchase of additional Common Stock or, alternatively, may involve the sale
of all or a portion of the Common Stock held by the members of the ISIS Group in
the open market or in privately negotiated transactions to one or more
purchasers.

Without limiting the foregoing, the ISIS Group intends to continue to engage the
Issuer in discussions concerning the proposed merger (the "Merger") of the
Issuer with an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Melita International, Ltd.
("Melita"). The merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") entered into between
the Issuer and Melita is disclosed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Report on Form 8-K
filed by the Issuer on October 8, 2003. The Merger is discussed in the Issuer's
Schedule 14A filed December 8, 2003. The Merger remains subject to shareholder
approval and other closing conditions as discussed in the Issuer's filings.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, the
outstanding shares of Common Stock would convert into the right to receive, in
cash, $12.00 per share. The ISIS Group believes that the $12.00 per share price
set in the Merger Agreement is significantly below the price that could have
been obtained by the Issuer had the Issuer conducted a more competitive bidding
process. The ISIS Group intends to continue to urge the Issuer to pursue
alternative transactions or strategies which would maximize value to
shareholders of the Common Stock, whether through an increase in the per share
price to be received in the Merger, an alternative strategic transaction for a
higher per share price or otherwise. In a series of conversations in November,
2003, representatives of ISIS requested that the financial adviser engaged by
the Issuer, SG Cowen Securities Corporation, provide an explanation for the
price comparisons used to support its fairness opinion, and to provide an
explanation for the reasoning of the Issuer in deciding neither to auction the
company nor to engage certain potential strategic buyers in discussions



regarding the sale or merger of the Issuer. At or around the same time, ISIS
engaged management of the Issuer in similar discussions. ISIS suggested to
management that management should attempt to maximize the value for all
shareholders before the Issuer takes any further actions to approve or complete
the proposed Merger.

Given the market conditions as of this filing, the ISIS Group continues to
believe that the Issuer's Board of Directors and management should consider and
pursue alternative transactions and alternative acquirers for a sale or merger
of the Issuer in order to maximize the value for all shareholders. The ISIS
Group currently intends to continue to press this point with the Board of
Directors and management of the Issuer. ISIS is actively seeking alternative
strategic or financial acquirers willing to purchase the Issuer on terms
superior to those offered to shareholders under the proposed Merger. The members
of the ISIS Group may pursue any available actions designed to prevent the
completion of the Merger under the currently proposed terms, including voting
against the Merger and seeking appraisal for such shares under Delaware General
Corporation Law. In addition, the ISIS Group may seek to raise funding to offer
its own bid, or actively foster and participate in an alternative bid, for the
Issuer.

Except as set forth herein, the ISIS Group does not have any present plans or
proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in
paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of this Schedule 13D. The members of the
ISIS Group reserve the right to formulate plans or make proposals, and take such
actions with respect to their investments in the Issuer, including any or all of
the actions specified in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of this Schedule
13D.
