Excalibur introduces The Excalibur Edge Partners Program.

VIENNA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 11, 1997--

Targets Integrators, OEM's, resellers building solutions that

manage customer's enterprise Knowledge Assets

Excalibur Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:EXCA), the pioneer and leading provider of knowledge retrieval solutions, today launched The Excalibur Edge(TM), a newly developed and comprehensive partners' program that enables participants to maintain a unique competitive advantage by delivering high-value knowledge retrieval solutions to their customers.

The Program provides partners with the Excalibur RetrievalWare family of products and includes powerful marketing opportunities, comprehensive sales support, product certification and entry into the exploding knowledge management and knowledge retrieval markets.

In response to the market, and other vendors' misguided "one size fits all" approach to partner programs, The Excalibur Edge Partners Program is designed to support several classes of solutions-oriented partners including OEM's, resellers, applications developers and integrators.

Some of the world's largest technology companies have become Excalibur partners including Sequent Computer Systems Inc., Open Systems Integrators, Informix Software Inc., BTG Inc., and KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, with other key players expected to be announced shortly.

The Excalibur RetrievalWare family of products delivers a unified knowledge retrieval software solution for text and visual information. These products help large organizations more effectively and productively manage and leverage the increasing amount of information coming from a growing number of repositories.

Excalibur products retrieve and deliver accurate and relevant information in near real-time from a universe of information sources encompassing text, image and video.

Knowledge retrieval represents a horizontal software application that transcends industries and sizes of customers. Excalibur partners realize common "searching" contributes to the growing problem of too much information and too little knowledge. By partnering with Excalibur, organizations gain the power of knowledge retrieval and deliver mission critical solutions to customers.

"The synergy between Excalibur RetrievalWare and Sequent's NUMA-Q(TM) 2000 family of servers creates a very compelling solution," said Debi Hoefer, senior director of Marketing for Sequent. "With a shared vision of effectively capturing and managing an organization's knowledge assets, our partnership with Excalibur is a natural fit."

"End user customers continue to increase their demands for accuracy and relevancy in knowledge retrieval and these demands are not going unnoticed by resellers and integrators," said Dan Agan, vice president of World Wide Marketing for Excalibur. "With our industry-leading knowledge retrieval solutions, we offer a select class of partners the opportunity to meet these demands and more."

"Looking forward, knowledge retrieval is a core competency in most corporate intranet environments and our customers are rapidly becoming familiar with the need for highly accurate and scalable knowledge retrieval solutions," said Keith Marks, president and chief executive officer of Open Systems Integrators.

"Excalibur's intelligent semantic network, which features more than a half million word meanings, 1.6 million word associations and international languages, is undoubtedly the most comprehensive in the industry. The integration of this technology provides our customers with a tool that delivers unrivaled search accuracy."

The Excalibur RetrievalWare product family utilizes a unique combination of technologies featuring a full semantic network and Adaptive Pattern Recognition Processing (APRP).

This combination enables highly fault-tolerant fuzzy searching and natural language-based searching for text, as well as powerful query-by-example capabilities which can be applied to words, pictures, video clips, fingerprints, facial images and many other types of multi-media data.
