AXS-One Inc. (AMEX:AXO), a leading provider of e-business solutions, today announced the successful conclusion of its Ninth Annual International Users' Conference, Sharing Solutions 2002.

This year's conference was held at the Harbor Beach Marriott Resort in Ft. Lauderdale, FL from April 21-24. The purpose of the event was for peers to network, share their success stories and get hands-on training for AXS-One's latest products and technology, including the company's new family of solutions, AXS-One Collaboration FrameWorks(TM).

"Our latest conference continued the tradition of bringing together the world-class AXS-One user community, and providing a forum within which they can share their collective knowledge and experiences, pick the brains of the AXS-One experts and benefit from the insights of leading industry and business executives," commented AXS-One Chief Executive Officer John Rade. "We are extremely pleased with the success of this year's conference, and look forward to extending the lively dialogue among the AXS-One user community beyond the event itself. Our new Collaboration FrameWorks Solutions resonated well with the attendees and over 50 leads were identified."

Attendance at the conference was on par with last year's event, with representation from 20% more companies -- a promising sign in a recovering economy. AXS-One's worldwide customers participated in three days of interactive workshops and presentations, which offered practical information and solutions to maximize productivity, reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction and speed-up business processes. The event offered more than 90 sessions in six categories:

-- General Sessions featured presentations from industry analysts, AXS-One
executives and other specialists on issues affecting the entire user community.


-- Technology Insights Track provided IT users and system administrators with
hands-on sessions on AXS-One's latest systems, platforms and databases.

who provided insight on new products, including AXS-One Enterprise 7.0 and the
new SMART(TM) resource management solution.

One highlight of the event was the presentation of the new AXS-One Collaboration FrameWorks products, which were well-received by the user audience.
