Solution Helps Retailers Realize Return on Investment With

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Engage, Inc. (OTCBB: ENGA) is teaming with Sun Microsystems through Sun's iForce[sm] Initiative to deliver Engage's integrated enterprise AMP solution together with the Sun[tm] Open Net Environment (Sun ONE[tm]) platform. This advertising, marketing and promotion (AMP) solution is specifically designed to support the retail sector by helping companies manage, automate and streamline the production processes for their corporate and in-store advertising, marketing and promotion materials. This solution has already been deployed at:

-- One of the nation's top three catalog companies to help manage the overall production of hundreds of its specialized catalogs, as well as manage and repurpose the thousands of text and graphic assets that comprise each catalog, including product descriptions, sizes, colors, and order numbers.

-- A leading national retail outlet to produce all of its weekly newspaper inserts and in-store flyers, ultimately helping them to capitalize on its highly aggressive growth strategy by quickly communicating promotions to those new local markets via multiple marketing channels.

-- A multi-billion dollar 250+ store grocery chain to automate ad production, eliminate redundancies and streamline workflow allowing them increased advertising and circular output through highly effective target versions for complex multilingual market regions.

By pre-testing solution integration in advance, and making it available for additional customer proof-of-concept engagements through Sun's global network of iForce Centers, Engage and Sun are driving down costs and speeding solution time-to-deployment to help enhance return on investment.

"Engage has been utilizing the Sun platform since our company's inception in 1994, and we are very pleased to add this offering as the next tier to our already strong relationship," said Robert Napolitano, vice president of Strategic Alliances, Engage, Inc. "We continually look for new ways to help retailers implement scalable and robust enterprise solutions that meet the ever-changing needs of the marketplace and we are very pleased to have Sun as part of our strong alliance portfolio, and for Engage to be a part of Sun's iForce partner community."

"This solution provides a compelling value proposition to catalog, direct marketing and retailers to help them realize time-to-market advantages through more efficient promotional planning," said Bob DeLaney, director, Worldwide Retail Industry Solutions, Sun Microsystems, Inc. "Engage software applications, combined with the Sun ONE platform running on high-performance Sun Enterprise servers, provide the retail industry with one of the most reliable and scalable AMP solutions available today."
