FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 28, 1999--

TUSC Computer Systems Joins e-Business Experts Program

to leverage Eprise Participant Server 2.0 for Australian marketplace

Eprise Corporation, the leading provider of software applications for e-business communications on corporate Web sites, today announced it has reached an agreement with TUSC Computer Systems Pty Ltd., a software and software services company located in Melbourne, Australia.

Under the terms of the agreement, TUSC becomes the first international member of Eprise's e-Business Experts Program featuring leading vendors dedicated to providing total e-business solutions through the deployment of Eprise Participant Server 2.0. Participant Server enables non-technical business professionals to create, update, and target Web-based communications via the Internet, intranets, or extranets, and provides organizations with a robust environment for maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of e-business communications (see associated Eprise e-Business Experts Program press release issued May 24, 1999).

"We are committed to both implementing Participant Server and developing our partner program in all corners of the globe," said Joe Forgione, Eprise president & CEO. "There are many Australian companies who are looking to deploy total e-business solutions, and we're pleased to be working with TUSC to uncover these opportunities. The combination of TUSC's integration experience and Eprise Participant Server provides a compelling solution that allows companies to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their Web activities," said Forgione.

Participant Server was architected to support timely, targeted e-business communications in multiple languages, and as such, Eprise is also aggressively pursing expansion in the Far East and Europe. Currently, a Tokyo-based technology firm is using Participant Server to deliver e-business communications in both Japanese and English for their corporate intranet. American Express Travel Services of New York, New York also has been using Participant Server for its Global Travel Network--an intranet that provides the company's network of travel agents in 300 countries with timely information in up to five different languages.

"The flexibility and sophistication of Eprise Participant Server make the product far superior to the competition," said Patrick Robles, e-business group manager at TUSC. "We look forward to working with Eprise to deliver customer-driven, enterprise ready content management solutions to the Australian marketplace."
