MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 16, 2000

Collabria(TM) today announced further enhancements to its leading eCommerce solution, PrintCommerce(TM). The first set of features extends the functionality of PrintCommerce eCatalog(TM) with inventory ordering, tracking and management. In addition, Collabria is releasing PrintCommerce Administrator(TM), a system designed to dramatically expand the scalability of the Collabria solution.

Collabria's service-based system was developed to address the following problems that typical corporate print buyers face:

1.   Coordinating a print project with multiple team members, agencies
     and suppliers
2.   Automating the procurement of catalogued items
3.   Customizing print documents for 1on1 Marketing
4.   Decentralizing print purchasing while maintaining control
5.   Ensuring the integrity of production-ready documents

Collabria addresses these problems with the following features:
1.   An online project management and tracking system with centralized
     project specs, automatic milestone alerts and job archiving
2.   A customizable catalog for proofing and reordering templated
     documents with static and variable data continued
3.   The ability to change specific data items on-the-fly then
     distribute on demand
4.   Automatic routing of approvals, inventory management and online
     billing
5.   Built-in technology to create and pass on to your printer
     production-ready files Together, these features make up
     Collabria's Intelligent Print Workplace(TM), a system designed to
     integrate all functions and players, returning tangible cost
     savings throughout the total print process.

       With the addition of Inventory Management, the PrintCommerce
eCatalog streamlines and reduces the overall cost of print items that
are distributed and reprinted from inventory. The new Inventory
Management features provide:

--   universal desktop access to print inventory items
--   proactive notification of inventories reaching minimum
     requirements
--   setup of automatic reorder points to prevent stock-outs
--   automatic generation of reprint orders, including customer
     approval management and delivery of production-ready files that
     eliminate pre-press activities

       All of this can be achieved without the expense and time
associated with traditional ERP or custom software solutions.
       PrintCommerce Administrator enables Collabria Partners - printers
and print resellers - to create and manage custom eCatalogs. It gives
partners the control and flexibility they need to streamline
PrintCommerce administrative processes. This includes:

--   creation of new customer eCatalogs
--   adding, changing, or deleting products in existing eCatalogs
--   managing eCatalogs on a day-to-day basis including pricing, cost
     center and supplier
--   setting up and maintaining product inventory control
--   defining and capturing print procurement business rules

This entire solution is available from anywhere 24 hours/day, seven days/week via a standard browser.

"We are absolutely committed to constantly enhancing our leading e-Commerce system," said Jean Nassar, Collabria's Chief Marketing Officer. "The primary reason our customers rely on us vs. developing in-house solutions is because of our ability to consistently add value through new features."
