SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 7, 2000

ecKnowledge 7.0 delivers a comprehensive, eBusiness solution

that addresses collaboration, information exchange,

and XML transaction requirements

Casahl Technology, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise infrastructure software and services, announces its latest integration and collaboration product offering, ecKnowledge(R) 7.0, is scheduled to ship in June 2000.

ecKnowledge (pronounced e-c-Knowledge) stands for eBusiness, collaboration, and knowledge sharing. ecKnowledge, was developed for the business-to-business (B2B) market to enable end users to collaborate with other people and companies without having to change existing systems or applications. It represents a major advance in eBusiness solutions, which until now have been focused primarily on transactional exchanges.

ecKnowledge 7.0 addresses three major trends in the eBusiness (B2B) market:

      --  Business partners must enhance their information exchange
        capabilities to remain competitive.

      --  Businesses are starting to participate in collaborative
        relationships over the Internet.

      --  The ASP (application service provider) web hosting model is
        quickly becoming the preferred method for implementing
        software solutions for a wide audience.

      ecKnowledge 7.0 is built on Casahl's award-winning
Replic-Action(TM), which enables integration between enterprise,
groupware, and DBMS systems. The ecKnowledge collaboration solution
offers companies and business partners all the ability of
Replic-Action, along with the following enhanced B2B features:

      --  deployment options of ASP, Publish & Subscribe, and Broadcast,
        using leading XML technology

      --  ease of use due to a total graphical user interface which
        requires no programming

      --  vast connectivity to all DBMSs, ERPs, legacy applications,
        desktop applications, and groupware

      --  non-invasiveness in the sense that there is no need to modify
        existing applications

      --  industrial-strength capabilities based on load-balancing and
        fail-over server technology

"We are proud to offer ecKnowledge 7.0 to companies that wish to succeed the B2B arena," says Dr. Harry Wong, president and CEO of Casahl Technology, Inc. "ecKnowledge is special in the sense that people on all sides of a business partnership can participate in collaborative commerce while staying in their preferred application."

Currently, ecKnowledge 7.0 is being used to build B2B infrastructures at Casahl's business partners Castalink, QuippeTech.com, SHL, and others. Business partnerships to enhance the capabilities of products by FileMaker, Inc. (an Apple Computer subsidiary) and IT Factory have also been formed.
