FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TRIANT SELECTED BY AMD FOR ENTERPRISE-WIDE FAULT DETECTION

VANCOUVER, CANADA – MAY 20, 2003 - Triant Technologies Inc. (TSX: TNT; OTCBB: TNTTF) today announced that Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NYSE: AMD) has chosen Triant's ModelWare^® to be a key component of a fault detection solution in AMD’s wafer fabrication plants (fabs). AMD plans to convert its existing deployments of ModelWare to plant-wide deployments at its state-of-the-art high-volume production plants in the United States and Germany.

ModelWare, Triant's equipment health monitoring and advanced fault detection solution, is an integral part of our customers’ enterprise-wide manufacturing infrastructure. It is a proven solution for increasing productivity and lowering manufacturing costs in both current-generation plants that process 200mm wafers and next-generation plants that process 300mm wafers.  

"AMD's number one priority is delivering technology solutions focused on customer need, and that extends to our manufacturing strategies," said Gary Heerssen, group vice president, Wafer Fabrication Group.  "It is this commitment that led us to implement what is now known as AMD Precision Manufacturing, which allows us to closely match our production output with current customer requirements. By integrating Triant's ModelWare with our extensive suite of proprietary fab technologies, we can continue to extend our leadership in customer-centric manufacturing."

Robert Heath, Triant's Chairman and CEO, stated, "AMD is a key strategic customer and we are pleased to be their selected vendor for enterprise-wide fault detection.  AMD and Triant are both committed to setting a high performance standard in advanced process control (APC) that can serve as an example for the semiconductor industry."
