Columbus-Based Firm Keeps Gulf Coast Connected in Katrina's Aftermath; Neulogic Aids Devastated Communities by Managing Web-Based Communications and Online Fundraising Efforts for Disaster Relief.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Neulogic a leading provider of Internet communications solutions to non-profit organizations is playing a key role in keeping Gulf Coast communities connected to the world in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, through services to clients in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Houston.

"With the loss of so much phone capacity in southeast Louisiana, email and the Internet became the most effective means of communication, including letting people know how they could help," stated Kevin Lyle, a consultant working with The Baton Rouge Area Foundation. "Working with Neulogic we were able to publish updates in real time and immediately provide online giving capabilities for disaster relief. We set up two funds, one for the eventual reconstruction of the infrastructure for providing social services in New Orleans and one to assist the thousands of displaced individuals who were entering our community. Neulogic's response was all anyone could have asked, plus 50%, and the funds were almost immediately receiving donations. They raised the bar for emergency customer service."

In addition to assisting the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, Neulogic provided all of the primary communications services for The Greater New Orleans Foundation's website. "Once we were able to gain access to the phones, Neulogic had already prepared everything we needed. All we had to do was say 'go'," commented Kathy Hebert, COO of The Greater New Orleans Foundation. "It may be months before we are back in our offices and our website will be critical to our communications efforts during that time."

At the same time, Neulogic was also assisting The Greater Houston Community Foundation as their city prepared to host former Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. "After we were asked to administer the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund and the Bush-Clinton Houston Hurricane Relief Fund, things unfolded very quickly. In order to be prepared for Monday's news conference with the Presidents, we needed to set up online giving and make all of the necessary changes to our website in an incredibly short time," said Stephen Maislin, President & CEO of Great Houston Community Foundation. "Everything worked beautifully and we're extremely pleased with all the effort Neulogic put forth over the holiday weekend to get everything ready."

"Obviously no one has every seen anything on this scale before," commented Marty Vian, Principal, Neulogic. "We always counsel our clients about the potential of the Internet as a cornerstone of their communications efforts. With most traditional means of communication unavailable, our clients used the Internet as their primary way of keeping people informed locally, regionally and globally. It confirmed everything we have shared with our clients about the importance of a website as a dynamic communications tool and we were delighted to be of assistance."
