Former BroadVision CTO, Lotus Fellow Brings Visionary Leadership and

Technology Acumen to Next-Generation Marketing Services Company

Wheelhouse Corporation, a marketing infrastructure services provider, today announced that Barry Briggs, former Lotus Development Corporation Fellow and Chief Technology Officer for BroadVision's Advanced Technology Group, has joined Wheelhouse as Chief Technology Officer and Vice President, Research & Development.

Briggs brings to Wheelhouse more than two decades of technical experience and visionary leadership in software technology and management. At Wheelhouse he will be responsible for leading the team that is spearheading the development of the company's proprietary marketing-technology service-development and operations platform.

"We believe that Barry will take Wheelhouse to the next level in its technology development lifecycle as we continue to deliver solutions that can make a measurable impact in our clients' businesses," said Brian Carty, Wheelhouse president and CEO. "We had begun a significant R&D effort under the capable leadership of Frank Ingari, and now Barry will help accelerate it with his deep understanding and insights of complex software projects. With his experience, Barry had his pick of opportunities; he selected Wheelhouse and we're thrilled he made that choice."

Briggs was most recently at BroadVision and previously at Interleaf, a company acquired by BroadVision. As Chief Technology Officer of BroadVision's Advanced Technology Group, he was responsible for creating and driving various technology initiatives through the company with a primary focus on mobile Internet issues, as well as communicating the company's technology strategy and vision both internally and externally. At Interleaf, Briggs was responsible for creating the technology vision behind Interleaf's extraordinary turnaround, centered around XML-based content management, which resulted in Interleaf being the 5th fastest growing stock in the US in 1999.

"Wheelhouse's vision for delivering technology-driven marketing infrastructure services is an exciting endeavor that I am eager to be a part of," said Briggs. "Wheelhouse brings a different and innovative view to enterprise software generally and the marketing domain specifically. It signals a true sea change in our industry, dramatically improving the way enterprise software companies serve their customers."

Prior to BroadVision, Briggs was at Lotus Development Corp., where he invented the concept and led the technical team that developed Lotus eSuite, a collection of client-side Java applets used in browsers and network computers. He was the principal architect for the Lotus Domino enterprise integration strategy and for the Lotus/IBM technology integration following IBM's acquisition of Lotus. In addition, as Chief Architect of the company's flagship spreadsheet application, Lotus 1-2-3 (TM), Briggs was responsible for the development and architecture of the most popular software application of its time. Briggs is also well known as a technology thought leader and is a frequent speaker on technology issues.

"Barry is a world class technical talent," said Frank Ingari, Wheelhouse founder and chairman. "I had the great pleasure of working with him at Lotus, and I am very excited about his new role at Wheelhouse as we continue to build a company that is helping change the way strategic marketing is done."
