DINMAR to Develop eHealth Strategic Plan for Champlain Local Health Integration Network

11 September 2006

DINMAR, a wholly owned subsidiary of Emergis Inc. (TSX: EME), announced today that the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) of Ontario in Canada has selected DINMAR to create a five-year strategic plan for information management, information technology, and electronic health initiatives. The project will address all components of information at a strategic level and evaluate, prioritize and align regional initiatives with the provincial and federal initiatives. DINMAR will be working with all regional stakeholders to develop the most appropriate plan for the Champlain LHIN and expects to complete the plan by October 2006.

LHINs plan, integrate, and fund local health services, and are focused on easing patient access to necessary care. With respect to DINMAR's involvement in the newly formed Champlain LHIN, the strategic plan will address all aspects of health information, including the community and hospital sectors, as it pertains to patient care delivery and management, decision support, and operations. Also within the project scope are the identification of required supporting technologies and infrastructure.

"Among the competing firms, DINMAR's broad depth of knowledge on regional issues was a clear differentiator," commented Robert Cushman, the CEO of the Champlain LHIN. "We look forward to working closely with DINMAR during this critical time of transition and integration across the entire region."

The Champlain LHIN is one of 14 formed as a result of the "Transformation Agenda" established by Ontario's Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. Comprising over 200 health care organizations of various types and sizes across the continuum of care, the network spans 20,000 square kilometers including several small communities, rural areas, and the Ottawa urban area. Nearly 1.1 million people reside within the Champlain LHIN, representing nearly 10% of all Ontarians.

"We are very excited to be contributing to this important initiative as we have with other similar regional programs," said DINMAR's President and CEO Mark Groper. The universal goal is to improve efficiency and effectiveness through our hands-on functional and technical know-how, as well as our understanding of industry best practices and future trends,"

Certain information in this news release, in various filings with Canadian regulators, in reports to shareholders and in other communications, is forward-looking within the meaning of certain securities laws, and is subject to important risks, uncertainties and assumptions. This forward-looking information includes, among others, information with respect to the Company's objectives and the strategies to achieve those objectives, as well as information with respect to the Company's beliefs, plans, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions. The words "may", "could", "should", "would", "suspect", "outlook", "believe", "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "plan", "target" and similar words and expressions are used to identify forward-looking information. The forward-looking information in this news release describes the Company's expectations as of September 6, 2006.

The results or events predicted in such forward-looking information may differ materially from actual results or events. Material factors which could cause actual results or events to differ materially from a conclusion, forecast or projection in such forward-looking information include, among others: general economic factors, adverse industry events, the adoption rate of the Company's solutions by customers and by related electronic trading communities, the non-renewal of major contracts which expire in the near term, complexities and the timing of signing government contracts, customers developing internally the capability to perform the services which the Company performs on their behalf, the Company's response to its industry's rapid rate of change, competition, pricing pressures, fluctuations in its operating results, its ability to make and integrate acquisitions, failures or material changes in its strategic relationships, exposure under contract indemnities, defects in software or failures in the processing of transactions, security or privacy breaches, the Company's ability to attract and retain key personnel, its ability to protect its intellectual property, intellectual property infringement claims, and industry and government regulation.

Emergis cautions that the foregoing list of material factors is not exhaustive. When relying on the Company's forward-looking information to make decisions, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. In making the forward-looking information contained in this news release, the Company does not assume any significant acquisitions, dispositions or one-time items. It does assume, however, the renewal of certain customer contracts. Every year, Emergis has major customer contracts that it needs to renew. Some of these may represent slightly more than 10% of its annual revenue. In addition, the Company also assumes the signature of contracts in new markets in the public health sector. In this regard, Emergis is pursuing large opportunities that present a very long and complex sales cycle, which substantially affect the Company's forecasting abilities. The Company has made certain assumptions regarding the timing of the realization of these opportunities which it thinks is reasonable but which may not be achieved. Furthermore, the pursuit of these larger opportunities does not ensure a linear progression of the Company's revenue and earnings, since they may involve significant up-front fees followed by reduced ongoing payments. The Company has assumed a certain progression, which may not be realized. It has also assumed that the material factors referred to in the previous paragraph will not result in such forward-looking information to differ materially from actual results or events. However, the list of these factors is not exhaustive and is subject to change and there can be no assurance that such assumptions will reflect the actual outcome of such items or factors. For additional information with respect to certain of these and other factors, refer to the risks and uncertainties section of the MD&A in the Company's 2005 Annual Report and to its 2005 Annual Information Form (risks and uncertainties) filed with Canadian regulators.

THE FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS NEWS RELEASE REPRESENTS THE EXPECTATIONS OF EMERGIS AS AT SEPTEMBER 6, 2006 AND, ACCORDINGLY, IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AFTER SUCH DATE. HOWEVER, EMERGIS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY INTENTION OR OBLIGATION TO UPDATE OR REVISE ANY FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION, WHETHER AS A RESULT OF NEW INFORMATION, FUTURE EVENTS OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
