            --   Aggregating commerce-critical data from several sources
               regardless of the original data's format, platform,
               location or ownership

            --   Enabling an evolutionary migration path from a loosely
               coupled to a tightly coupled relationship between the
               e-market hub and its suppliers

            --   Providing the e-market maker with a powerful solution
               that grows as its relationships with suppliers expands
               and its user base increases

Why:      According to Forrester Research, Internet sales will
          reach $1.3 trillion by 2003 and B2B transactions will
          comprise two thirds of that amount.

            Cohera Corporation provides the only solution that e-market
          makers can rely upon to support the entire e-business
          lifecycle.
