Secure, Real-time Messaging and Collaboration Service Increases Worldwide Presence, Now Used in Over 2,500 Companies in 60 Countries

Communicator Inc continues to expand their worldwide presence and leadership in the Financial Services market. Alliance Capital, COESfx, Garban Intercapital, ING Financial Markets, Miller Tabak Roberts and Swapswire now have access to the wide spectrum of Hub IM tools, including instant messaging, discussion forums, community directory and content delivery. The secure, real-time messaging and collaboration service will help these sell-side and buy-side firms and trading platforms to communicate more effectively and efficiently within their companies and with customers, partners and suppliers.

"Communicator has been able to expand the use of its applications in the Financial Services market by staying focused on the product features and services our customers expect," said Leo Schlinkert, CEO of Communicator Inc. "Given three years of widespread, day-to-day use of Hub IM in the Securities industry, the value of this messaging and collaboration tool for speeding decision-making is clear. The built-in, industry-wide directory and real-time news delivery adds greatly to the value Communicator delivers."

In April 2002, Communicator implemented the world's largest corporate, multi-enterprise instant messaging service by deploying Hub IM to Credit Suisse First Boston, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Salomon Smith Barney and UBS Warburg. Subsequently, these companies and others like FXall have provided Hub IM to thousands of investors at institutional money management firms in the US, Europe and Asia. With the addition of Communicator's six new Hub IM customers, the real-time messaging and collaboration service now is available at over 2,500 companies in 60 countries.

Alliance Capital Management Company, a leading global research and investment management firm, relies on Hub IM to participate in live market discussion forums and to ensure that corporate managers at their New York, Westchester and Minneapolis offices are always in touch and aware of the most current corporate and market information.

COESfx, which offers the world's first truly equitable, real-time spot (cash) currency trading network for small order execution, will be using Hub IM for one-to-one messaging and particularly group discussion forums for internal interaction and dialogue with customers.

Garban Intercapital, the world's largest inter-dealer broker in the Over the Counter (OTC) financial markets, initially introduced Hub IM to approximately 100 professionals at the firm. Garban has since increased their adoption to several hundred users.

ING Financial Markets, which is the marketing name for ING Bank N.V.'s activities in the debt market, treasury, foreign exchange, money markets and derivatives, has deployed Hub IM in the Asia Pacific region, where it operates across 15 countries. They are using Hub IM to create a financial community across the region.

Miller Tabak Roberts Securities, a globally-focused fixed income firm, uses Hub IM in its professional and operations areas for real-time corporate communications.

Swapswire, an industry-backed electronic platform for straight-through processing, uses Hub IM to facilitate discussions between their traders, back office operations team and customers about the settlement of sophisticated deals and exceptions. Swapswire was recommended to Communicator Hub IM by Garban Intercapital.

Percy Reuber, Head of Financial Markets, Asia at ING Financial Markets, noted: "We have found that Hub IM's unique features enabled our users to quickly build our own online financial community, which has greatly improved our communications strategy. Using Hub IM, we are able to communicate more effectively across our geographically-dispersed offices, which in turn enables us to better serve our customers in the region."
