Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 4, 2003

EXE Technologies(R), Inc. (Nasdaq:EXEE) today announced AS2 certification of its EXceed(TM) Data Exchange software for use in Internet-based EDI transmissions.

EDI INT AS2 is a new standard that describes how EDI and other data can be transmitted securely over the Internet. It is being developed and promoted by the Uniform Code Council and Drummond Group, Inc. as a multi-industry standard for product identification and related electronic communication. Using this standard, companies can select interoperable software with eBusinessReady certification, indicated by a Global Service Relation Number (GSRN). Drummond Group, Inc. is a software testing and research company that facilitates and manages the testing process for the eBusinessReady program.

Interest in the new EDI standard has accelerated quickly since major retailers such as Wal-Mart, Lowe's, Meijer and the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) indicated they would only deploy warehouse management and supply chain systems certified under EDI INT AS2, according to market researchers AMR Research.

"We first introduced our EXceed Data Exchange (DX) package in early 2002 and we now have more than 25 customers running live implementations of it around the world in industries such as grocery, high-volume retail and third-party logistics (3PL)," explained Joe Cowan, EXE president and chief executive officer. "DX allows these customers to integrate their applications easily, using pre-configured integration templates. DX connects directly to all of our EXceed supply chain products as well as to the most popular enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.

"Many EXE customers are already saving tens of thousands of dollars on VAN charges by sending EDI over the Internet," Cowan added. "In addition, this out-of-the-box configuration has allowed many of our customers to take advantage of the communications abilities of DX to integrate new supply chain trading partners in just a matter of hours."

For integration touchpoints that are not pre-configured, such as integration to legacy systems, EXE's Data Exchange gives users an easy-to-use graphical user interface for setting up their own integration. DX can translate data into any of five common formats, including:

    --  EDIX12

    --  EDIFACT

    --  XML (RosettaNet, BizTalk and others)

    --  Flat files

    --  SQL JDBC-compliant databases

EXceed Data Exchange supports several industry standard communications protocols, including:

    --  FTP and FTPS

    --  HTTP and HTTPS

    --  SMTP

    --  POP3

    --  IMAP

    --  AS1 and AS2

    --  MQSeries

    --  Oracle AQ

    --  MSMQ
