HANNOVER, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 2000-- Centura Software Corp. (Nasdaq:CNTR - news), leader in
e-Business and Information Appliance database and development solutions, announced today that it is previewing its leading
e-Business development solution, Centura Team Developer (CTD) 2000, at CeBIT '00, in Hannover, Germany. Additionally,
Centura will be showcasing joint solutions with strategic business partners, MD Consulting GmbH (www.mdconsulting.de) and

open standard of COM and integrate with Microsoft Transaction Server.
``As businesses move towards distributing their applications to the Web and beyond, the ability for distributing the business
logic within their applications is becoming increasingly important,' said Scott Broomfield, Centura chairman and CEO. ``We
are thrilled to be featuring some of the robust, real-life solutions of our partners at CeBIT. Their innovation and commitment to
Centura further validates our e-Business strategy.'
