VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 10, 1999-- Intrinsyc(VSE:ICS.) Intrinsyc Software, Inc.(the "Company") is pleased to announce today the successful launch of its DECF(R) (Distributed Embedded Computing Framework) Partnership Program, which has become the primary marketing initiative for the Company's products and services.

The Intrinsyc DECF Partnership Program was created to address the needs of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) who are developing innovative new products based on Intrinsyc's leading edge technologies for the rapidly growing Internet-enabled Information Appliance market segment.

From a revenue perspective, this program has a minimum project commitment of US$100,000. The Company's current experience indicates that DECF related contract awards will provide a 12 to 18 month revenue stream from US$250,000 to greater than US$2,000,000 per OEM project. Intrinsyc is in detailed contract negotiations with a number of its DECF partners and expects to announce a significant contract award in March 1999.

The competitiveness of the embedded computing industry and the immense advantages available to OEMs who are first-to-market require Intrinsyc to sign non disclosure agreements that do not allow specific disclosure of individual contract awards. However, Intrinsyc shareholders may monitor corporate growth and progress via the DECF Partner web site (http://www.intrinsyc.com/partners/decf/) which goes on line on February 12, 1999, listing some of the current DECF Partners.
